NBA 2K13: Three Toughest Associations to Play With

01:05 PM - September 14, 2012 by RaychelSnr

NBA 2K13 is looking great every time we see it, and we all know which teams will be easy to play with this year (Heat, Lakers, Thunder, Bulls, etc). But which teams will be the toughest to use? We'll list the three teams, why we think they will be so hard to use in NBA 2K13, and what you can do to improve them. Wheeling and dealing with trades is a hint.

U guys r crazy the magic can very well make the 8th seed

# 26 kjjnesb @ 09/14/12 03:57 PM

Celtics,Spurs,and Nets the first couple yrs with those teams might be nice but based on the aging players/contracts on those rosters they could end being a long term project imo.

i dont think any team is deemed a "cheese" team. i think the teams he mentioned all have stars so "cheesers" run with them bc they have gifted players. personally i play with LA very seldom online but I always been a sim player.

the magic will by far be the hardest!

# 28 Caveman24 @ 09/14/12 04:01 PM

Orlando Magic

Bobcaats is going to be real easier than the magics. CATS got kemba gordon and gilchrist which are talent. Magics have no potential star no sleeper and no offensive strategy to work with. My rebuild association is the Rockets or Warriors.

I'm trying to read your comment and you're sounding really dumb. The guy was saying there is a difference between a tough team to play with as in in quick game and a tough team to start your association mode with. Smh.

My Bulls will be just fine.... we have a decent roster. We might struggle, but we play hard and we play defense!

# 32 JoSiiF @ 09/14/12 06:41 PM

your crazy isaiah thomas guna bring the kings back on top

# 33 jwtucker710 @ 09/14/12 06:41 PM

Just noticed that it's posted below on OS, but EA's NBA LIVE 13 has an actual clip from EA.
Not sure what to make of it. Apparently it's not even close to being done. Personally, I think they're doing the right thing not releasing it at the same time as 2K, but curious as to what they're really doing. They don't have the same core programmings working on other games. At least I wouldn't think so. Hope to see more of LIVE and something released in a traditional release disc before Thanksgiving.

The hawks are gonna be pretty terrible to play with. And what about the Magic?

# 35 djwax90 @ 09/14/12 06:48 PM

Easiest 3: Heat, Thunder, Lakers

Toughest 3: Bobcats, Magic, Rockets

End of thread.

No offense to Fredette, but Thomas is much better at the point guard position.

# 37 ron_bato @ 09/14/12 09:16 PM

I think the kings might be a little bit easier to use this year with Thomas Robinson being rated decently and DMC getting a bump in the ratings (hopefully). Plus we have Aaron Brooks and Isiah Thomas, if DMC has some decent sig skills, i think it will be easy to work with what Sac's got.

I agree with mostly everyone that I'd take most teams over Orlando this year. There's really very little to work with on the magic.

That, along with the fact that Thornton was our best scorer (and clutch player) last year means that Tyreke should stay at the SF spot. Not to mention Thronton won't be at that much of a height disadvantage if he stays at the 2 instead of going to the 3. Also with the fact that both big men on the floor can shoot that mid range jumper that opens up lanes to the rim for Evans and Thornton, making it much easier to get an assist or foul call if a big man comes over to help. PG: Thomas SG: Thornton SF: Evans PF: Robinson C: Cousins That's not a bad lineup. So, if you would please refrain from speaking about my Kings without backing up your points I'd appreciate it.

This is what i thought too. I'd start Isiah Thomas over Jimmer any given day just because Thomas is a much better distributor and turns out to be a decent shooter. It will be interesting to see who gets the nod this year to start between Brooks and Thomas. But Jimmer is far from that equation IMO.

# 39 jcwkings @ 09/14/12 09:41 PM

This guy knows very little about the Kings. Jimmer isn't even likely to see minutes this year barring some vast growth in his overall game and confidence. Isaiah Thomas is set to be the starting pg, while Brooks could have a say if he impresses in the pre season. Tyreke is expected to go back to SG and Thornton is expected to become the 6th volume scorer. Jason Thompson was re signed over the summer and will be the starting PF, Robinson is exepected to be the first big off the bench. James Johnson could start at the 3 and bring a much needed defensive mentality to the other starters. Then you have guys like Salmons and Travis Outlaw that could do something off the bench. I think with the potential of Cousins and Tyreke(21 and 22 years old) and some solid tradeable pieces, Kings are a good association to go with for people that trying to turn a young team into a contender 2 or 3 seasons down the road.

glad someone caught this. as a fellow kings fan i am in agreement with you. watched every game except two last year and I. Thomas is a good player and somehow is still flying under the radar. and who the hell would start thornton at the 3??!! if you start evans at the 2 then thornton would be a excellent 6th man but in know way do you start him at the 3 spot. Jimmer is either trade bait or a role player at best. the only thing i might change about your lineup is thompson over robinson depending on how they rate JT. at least for a year, he had a good season last year and hopefully is starting to tap into some of that potential he had coming out of rider
