    **Your 2k Association -- Impressions and Updates**

    Being an Association junkie, just wanted to start this. This may be the best Associaion mode EVER in any game, next to "The Show".

    I like seeing how others people are doing, and how the CPU is handling things. I updated all my rosters personally (i.e Bogan with Spurs) so it's accurate as of Monday when I loaded my Association. I try to keep things as "real" to life as I can...
    -----------------
    Team
    Sacramento Kings

    Current Record
    2-2 in October (Current 2 game winning streak, after 2 game losing streak). Superstar mode, so I'm pleased at my progression.

    Surprised that...
    Thompson is really good... Casspi might be the toughest player on the team... Garcia is ideal 6th man. Shooting free-throws with Martin is a challenge (currently 3-8 for season).

    Pissed that...
    Jon Brockman (who was a very good college player) is not in the game. I didn't feel like creating him, or waiting for an update to start my association... Evans and Martin in the backcourt is taking time to develop... Defense with this team is uhhhh...

    Transactions...
    Sent Donte' Green to D-League... 3-way trade that got me U. Haslem (Udrih and my 2nd round pick are now with Bucks, Luke Ridnour, S. Rodriguez and my 2011 2nd round pick now with Heat) this morning... So now Udrih's contract is off the books, and I got more money freed up for 2010 FAs... Picked up Bobby Jackson and Adonal Foyle from FA this morning, both 1 year deals... Kenny Thomas is on Trading Block, and will stay inactive until I can stike a deal or cut him (1 year/8 mil. left on contract)

    -----------------
    I'll keep you guys updated. I got a feeling Haslem's moral will drop (along with his rating) once he realizes he's behind Thompson.

      Started an association with the Rockets. My first two moves HOU fans may not agree with but, I got a trade offer for Yao Ming from Dallas for Dirk Nowitski and there 1st round draft pick, I gladly accepted.

      Secondly i put our other injury prone player, Tracy McGrady on the trading block. I got one offer. Jermaine O'Neal, I accepted.

      We started off the season very poorly, last in our division, 8 games back.

      During the all star break I got a trade offer from the San Antonio Spurs, Roger Mason and a 2nd round pick for Louis Scola. Scola was only averaging 5.5 PPG so i gave him up.

      My starting 5 at the point was...

      PG. Aaron Brooks
      SG. Roger Mason
      SF. Trevor Ariza
      PF. Jermaine O'Neal
      C. Dirk Nowitzki

      At that point we went on a hot streak!. Currently riding the wave of a 12 game win streak we snuck into the 8th playoff spot for now, hopefully we can keep this momentum up and get up even farther in the standings.

      Both Brooks and Dirk are averaging over 21 PPG, they are really running my offense tremendously. Those two trades I made with the other Texas teams are really paying off. And getting rid of always injured ball hog T-Mac wasn't too bad either.

        Are you all experiencing the Development Drill bug?

          I've heard of the bug, but even in past 2k's i never used the drills anyway. So it's not a problem with me. But it seems like everyone who DOES use the drills are experiencing the same problems.

              I never really saw J. O'Neal as the Center type. It's working out good for me so far.

              And yea I was pretty shocked when I saw that trade offer to say the least. I couldn't reject it though.

                  I've done better each game. Shot under 38% my first game (just bad shot selection and forcing). I was 47% winning against the Grizz. at home last night.

                  With the sliders I uploaded (dude from PS3, forgot his gametag) it hasn't been that bad v.s. the CPU. Sac is just horrible defensively, so I try to put that into consideration.

                  N.O. shot over 60% on me, but that was because of just bad team defense and Chris Paul just being a monster. Dude had 30 and 18 dimes, so he either scored, or was responsible for the score.

                  Playing 10. qtr. No 100 points scored either way yet...

                    What's the development drill? No progression for completing them or something along those lines?

                      What happens is when you succesfully complete a drill. The players OVR drops dramatically.

                        Whenever you do a development drill, even if you successfully complete it, your player's overall rating drops a ton for some reason. I had Ray Allen drop from an 80 to a 74.
