The place to discuss all things 2k (and Live). Jay has decided to make the other thread more trivia based, so this is the new thread for 2k (and Live) discussion.
What system do you play on? What basketball games do you own? What are some of your favourite game modes?
360 and I have been playing 2k13
Im getting 2K14 i think.... I've always been a Live man myself....
Might get both on ps3? :o
Live got canned didn't it. haha.
Started new season with my player for Detroit. Got in Chris Paul and we are owning.
PG: Paul
SG: Stucky
SF: Brown
PF: Patterson
C: Munroe
6: Knight
Pretty sure Live is back, Windi. Irving on the cover iirc :)
Might get it just coz I like Irving > Lebron
But 2k>>>>>>>>>>Live
Especially after the shiny Live 10 version.
So live is alive again??
Still wouldn't get it.. :-X
Same. 2k has been so good to be since 11' anyway.

They were supposed to release one this past year and pulled it. It will probably happen again.
Finished my first season with the Hornets that I was talking bout in the other thread. 13 - 15 and finished 10th in the division. Dwight Howard won MVP and Mike Brown coach of the year :P
The new stars for my team Michael Kidd-Gilchrist won rookie of the year and James Harden won most improved 8)
Ant Davis in the all-rookie first team and Austin Rivers in the 2nd team. Damn we have a future!

They were rebooting it as Live back from the Elite name for the past season (Live 13) before cancelling it again.

I don't have Dwight, I was just lolin' at the fact that he won MVP and that the Lakers dominated... who said 2k is realistic? :P
Oh ok.
I just finished my first regular season with the Suns. Simulated every game after the all-star break. Only player award was Danny Green was Most Improved. A few others were in the first and second team too.
Now it's best of 7 v Dallas. Simulated the first two games and lost both, played the next and now 2-1. Will continue tomorrow.
Who plays on 360?
I play on PS...
Pissed off about the free agency period; didn't realise Jennings was a restricted free agent, so he agreed to my terms but the Bucks matched it. Missed out on Paul because I was too busy chasing Jennings :(
Awell. Still got improvement. Davis went up to an 89 and Harden an 86 :P

What cheese :P
I just had an epic comeback online. 25-4 run in the last to win 55-48. Scored mainly on the break and hit a deep 3 with Paul to ice it as I took the lead. He could then just basically hope I missed and fouled from that point 8)

Surely not anymore, the last couple of games they tried to bring out were terrible. Just look at these player graphics, the fattest players in the league have the same physique as Kevin Durant,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAwdHWkZXQ4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAwdHWkZXQ4)
What a crap trailer it reveals nothing about the new ball handling they preached about at E3. It just shows how bad their physics are again.
i've not bought Live since 10... will get 2k14
Traded so many pieces to get Brandon Jennings...
Patty Mills, Xav Henry, Grevais Vasquez, Kendrick Perkins + 1st rounder for next season for Jennings + some rook (salary cap purposes) :P
Team is now:
Jennings 86 / Rivers 75
Harden 86 / Theus 75 - rookie I picked up at pick 10 even though he was a top 5 prospect - has A potential 8)
Kidd-Gilchrist 82 / Brown 70
Anderson 73 / Yianling 70 - Picked this guy up as a free agent in the first season. He's got A potential, 80's mid range shooting and 80 rebounding. Awesome.
Davis 89 / nobody :P
Was this a fantasy draft?
Nope, picked up the Hornets Mat.
Traded Gordon + a second rounder for Harden first season, and a first round pick + a scrub for MKG (IIRC). Then picked up Mills + Brown in free agency.
So I am doing an association with... yep you guessed it! BOSTON CELTICS.
No Danny Ainge in this game, I am doing it MY WAY. He can flower off, this is my team :D
More to come...
Hahahaha, I just saw where Chris Paul ended up after last years free agency; he went to Cleveland, putting the 89 rated Kyrie on the bench. He's pissed and wants a trade.
Good management Cleveland!
Initial Roster
Rajon Rondo - 89
Kevin Garnett - 83
Paul Pierce - 82
Jeff Green - 79
Avery Bradley - 79
Jason Terry - 77
Jordan Crawford - 75
Courtney Lee - 74
Terrence Williams - 73
Jared Sullinger - 72
Brandon Bass - 72
Chris Wilcox - 65
D.J. White - 63
Fab Melo - 51
trade out White and Bass to get another shooter?
As you can say, we have a deep team but only 1 superstar. Will be looking to offload some of our pieces to try and get Pierce + KG one more ring. Lee, Crawford, Terry, Bass will all be on the trading block.
This season I am going for the title. Next, I will rebuild.
Bass is a pretty good shooter in the game for a big guy. Get Oden off the FA list. Guy is a beast a center off the bench.

Yeah Bass hits the J, but can't do anything else. His rebounding frustrates me - prefer to start Sullinger.
Here is my starting 5:
Rondo
Bradley
Pierce
Green
Garnett
As you can see it is pretty small. Working to get a C, so can push Garnett to PF and then have Green scoring off the bench. Or maybe even Pierce SG, Green SF and Bradley coming off the bench.
Get in Greg Oden
you could try and get Bynum?
Yeah, get Oden if cap permits it. Good luck getting Bynum though without ditching KG, PP or Rondo.
Oden is not on the game, updated rosters don't have him on FA list.
Question: Larry Sanders or Andrew Bogut?
Quote from: Cicjose on June 21, 2013, 07:46:59 PM

They want Rondo. So no deal.
Bogut
TRADE 1:
Celtics get: Andrew Bogut
Celtics give: Jason Terry + Brandon Bass + 2013 1st round pick
thats a lot to give up
Haha, what's Sanders rated on the update?
Never played with Bogut on 2k so can't comment on that trade.

Terry's decent on 2k though. Tell us what Bogut's like to play with when you're experienced would ya Jay? ;)
I pulled out at the last moment. Gonna keep the current core the same and for the title.
All-star difficukt - 14 games - 8mins - 10mins sim
Decided to sim until playoffs and then lead the team to the title with low seed.
Tied 1st in the conference after all-star breal.
Then lost every game from there and missed the playoffs :'(
To make it worse, KG retired.
NOW IS TIME FOR A REBUILD >:D
Watch me work my magic.
Have pick 10 in the draft!
With pick 10 I took a backup PG that can shoot the 3 - exactly what I was looking for.
On draft day, I trade Jason Terry for pick 18, with which I drafted a centre.
Very happy with these pickups.
Yeah nice. JT probably retiring in a season or two anyway.
Sent Jeff Green to o.fundamentals 8)

I have Bogut with PHX. Think I've posted it :P
7'0 and strong so can defend anybody. Beast rebounder and pretty good at scoring inside. Could improve in every area on offense though so that's what I'll be doing in the off-season. Haven't played in like a week but will start playing at HT of Hawks v Eagles so can let you guys know more :)

Had to ditch Pierce, needed a full rebuild. Managed to work my way up to get Derrick Williams who is WAY OVERS on this game, then chucked in a couple of first-rounders and BAM, Paul George ;D
Quote from: Mat0369 on June 21, 2013, 09:13:47 PM

Yeah. Can't remember which one though.
My starting five at PHX - Currently in first season - Playoffs - 2-1 down against Dallas after simulating the first two games.
PG: Dragic
SG: Danny Green
SF: Beasley
PF: Scola
C: Bogut
2-2 against Dallas.
Thought I'd pound them with 3 pointers this game. 3 minute quarters with a total of 9 3's. Danny Green with 5, Dudley with 2 while Dragic and Mills had one each.
I started my draft association a while back now, I just never really playied that much. I think I am 11 games, undefeated and I am using an early version of this years draft class. I am scouting Noel, McLemore and Plumlee.
Some updates:
Simulated playoffs and made it to conference finals against GSW where I lost 4-1.
Accidently chose the 2014 draft class, so had all of NEXT years rookies. Anyway, had a pick in the 20s till the Raptors offered me Pick 12 which I took seeing as WIGGINS was still available :P
Currently in the FA period -
J.O'Neal has decided to take his talents to South Beach ::) T.Mac has joined the Suns. Even though he is old thought he could bring something to the team. Strangely, Patty Mills rejected my contract offer even though he was Sixth Man for me ??? ???
Trying to get him back but he is asking for so much :-X
Wiggins at pick 12? Nice realism 2k ::)
Quote from: Jayman on June 21, 2013, 11:23:14 PM
Wiggins at pick 12? Nice realism 2k ::)
ikr
They said he should be a Top 5 pick ::)
And the cheese continues: Wiggins sent to Athletics camp and Bogut to Big Man offense.
Also Patty Mills signed, but for a hell of a lot more than I was paying him originally ::) I also needed a backup Centre so I signed the Birdman even though he is pretty old :P Can fix any mistakes with trades anyway :P
Wiggins will be no.1 pick in 2014 draft. Easy.
Quote from: Jayman on June 21, 2013, 11:33:27 PM

I'm not disagreeing with you :P
---
Got offered Millsap and a rookie SF for Scola and Beasley. Considering it, but not sure if Millsap is the PF I'm looking for, however I wanna offload Beasley now that I have Wiggins...
And because Beasley is a bonafide scrub :P
simulate fail
This is my 2k13 fantasy draft team, I think it was from the 10 spot.
Jeff Teague/Mills
Jordan Crawford/Anthony Morrow/Sefolosha
Chandler/Singleton
Love/Markieff Morris/Leuer
Lopez/Oden
It generally lines up like this
Teague/Mills
Crawford/Morrow
Chandler/Sefolosha/Singleton
Love/Chandler
Lopez/Oden
Morris and Leuer generally don't play unless I have injuries or I am up by a lot. Crawford will go to PG in some packages, Sefolosha SG and Singleton PF in some and Lopez and Oden will see the floor together occasionally.
Lopez is a beast in the post, I am able to turn and drive off two steps or use the baby hook to my advantage, not really huge on his fadeaway in the post. Love is my all round shooter, drive, scrap, post, 3 point shots, all offense all the time. I am dishing off with Teague and Crawford (awkward shooting stroke) with ease and will kick outside to them for perimeter shooting, Morrow comes on and hits the 3 ball, Mills has been perfect from outside the last two games and Chandler is my jack of all trades. This team is built insanely well for this game. Even better, they are all young.
My favourite draft team without a doubt is my 2k12 draft from the start of the season pick 10 again
Jrue Holiday/Ish Smith
Nolan Smith (listed as a pg now)/Afflalo/J.J Redick
Durant/Ryan Anderson/Tobias Harris
Love/Collison/Ryan Anderson
Ibaka/DeAndre Jordan
A good mix of shooters, defenders, bigs, smalls, bench players, the whole lot. Durant a steal at 10, Love had his breakout season last year and I did the draft before that. Also was able to nab Jrue which I was extremely happy with. All 3 would be gone in the first round of a draft done today.
That second team is crazy!
Jrue always goes second round on mine and is always the best PG available. So good on this game too; outside shot, ability to drive and good perimeter D.
I picked all the up and coming stars perfectly on that second team. Durant, Love, Holiday, Ibaka, Afflalo, Ryan Andersen. My back ups are awesome on that team as well.
I love Jrue, he is such an awesome player. Love is pretty much my first pick if he is there in this game since I normally draft around the 10 mark. If he is there I take him. If I can team those two up again I would be very happy.
Without the updated rosters I got pick 14 or something and was able to draft Love, Jrue and Ibaka... Haven't played that association in ages though.
That is a really nice core. Do you have Love or Iblocka playing center?
My problem is I have updated roster and can't reset them to default. Even the current association with Love and Lopez was started just after Jrue had a number of breakout games so he went before my 2nd round pick. The AI generally draft the same every time. I could start a season with the 6'ers and see if the Wolves take Bynum.
I think I used to play Love at the C. Both struggle on man-to-man iso defense against bigger opponents though, Ibaka a little more so.
I felt it was the other way around. On the team where I had Love, Ibaka and Jordan I used to play Ibaka as an undersized C since he was the better defender of the two. If I was getting destroyed on the inside I would bring Jordan on to provide some D and size in the middle, but Ibaka was able to swat away shots and Love would clean up the boards when I played them in those positions.

A guy like Ibaka would struggle on offense at C though, especially when he would come against guys like Chandler, Noah and Howard. I'd play Love at C but go to defensive settings and put Ibaka on the Centres when the team has to defend...

I rarely used to shoot with Ibaka, I would beat his opponents on the drive, put back dunks, fast break dunks, pretty much all my offense with Iblocka was from dunking. Love I would play in the post and stretch his opponents to the perimeter for open 3's. Ibaka was my decoy, then I had Durant, Love and Jrue for all my other offense.
If I used the pick and roll with Ibaka I'd utilize his decent mid-range game if he was open off the fade.
I dunno; I just found Love more physically adept to post defense.
just a question on 2k13 for you guys
borrowed it off a mate to see what it's like
(haven't really played since 11 when it has alot of glitches and had to fix with patches etc just havent got around to it not that im against it or anytihng)
do you guys bother with the my career?
i started one and seems like if you don't play every single game you guy will never get very good cause if you do the play next important game bit it skips like 10 matches and u get like 150 points to upgrade and that is it
is it worth continuing or should i just go to association now?
I started off playing My Career. Still do every now and then.
You have to play every game till you're in the starting line up, then you can start playing key games. It's a lot of fun.
Definitely not a fan of mycareer. Takes too long to get into it and the simulation stats are always so different to the stats you get when you play.
Would just go straight to association 8)
I play every game in My Carrer.
Won rookie of the year and averaged 20 points a game. Now I'm averaging 30 points, 6 assists & 7 boards with 9 min Qtrs and playing all about 3 mins of the game as the star alongside Paul.
Owning. ;)
thanks for the feedback guys
i just broke into the starting lineup for the 76ers at PF even though im a C they play twin towers with myself and bynum
Haha, I sucked in my first season but won finals MVP and won a championship with the Bucks in my second. I'm a PG but played SF for the Bucks as they had Jennings and Ellis ::)
So I left in the free agency at the end of the season and got picked up by the Hawks. Currently in the Eastern Conference finals vs the 76ers. Jrue Holiday is rated a 98 and kills me :(
Averaged like 17 PPG and 8 ASS playing 5 minute quarters :P
Spent a whole day trying to get pick 1 to Hornets. Finally did it and haven't played mycareer since ::)
Think I've finally built a championship team with the Suns - next target is the No.1 pick so I can get Noel.
Done some training, this is now my list:
PG: Dragic
SG: Danny Green
SF: Wiggins
PF: Faried
C: Bogut
6: Mills
7: Dudley
8: Gee
9: Ryan Anderson
10: T.Mac
11: Bird-Man
12: Prigioni
13: John Lucas
14: Rookie PF
Any weaknesses? Only one I see is rebounding but that's about it...
Faried is a beast on the boards in this game.
I just entered my Association and it has the headline
Bynum: Knee Tendinitis not going to keep my down
Who said this game is not realistic? (http://content.boards.philadelphiaeagles.com/public/style_emoticons/default/sideroll.gif)
Just won a championship in My Career in 6 against OKC!
Atlanta Hawks lineup:
Al Horford
Josh Smith
Andre Iguodala
Lou Williams
Mr Clutch
Good to see you have Paul Pierce on the team, MC! ;)
Hahaha, not sure if he'd do as well as I do running point Jay ;)
And now my contract is up and I can go to just about anyone :P
Could play for the heat seeing as Chalmers is their starting point. Don't want Lebron hogging it on me though! Same with the Lakers. Nash has retired so I'd slot right in, but Kobe'd hog all day!
The Kings are enticing. DMarc is a 95, Tyreke a 93. I'd slot in perfect at point... TOO MANY DECISIONS hahaha.

lol no
Last game I thought I'd start some guys who usually warm the bench, like Tracy McGrady... turns out TMac beasted it and won player of the game :P
10 minutes - 8 points and 7 assists :P
Just noticed that Howard left to the Cavs in the FA period :o
Kyrie is rated 91 while Howard is 90...
Also Paul went to the Rockets :-X
Next FA period has LeBron, Irving, Carmelo, Wade, Wall, Cousins and more :o I think I might start clearing to give me cap space :P
In my Hornets association something awesome happened; Jennings + a 72 rated rookie for KYRIE IRVING + Thompson.
Lineup:
Davis (89)
Thompson (73)
Kidd-Gilchrist (82)
Harden (86)
Irving (88)
Goals have been kicked today. Goals have been kicked 8)
Decided to start an association team without a fantasy draft, after all fantasy draft is basically soft core isn't it Q? ;)
Playing with the Knicks, Jay fell asleep so I didn't have any advisers to help me out, but made quite a few changes to the roster before the first game of the season. All the list management stuff is pretty new to me, so don't think I'll be too good at that stuff just yet. :P
Kidd/Felton
Harden/JR Smith
Anthony/Novak
Ibaka/Faried
McGee/Chandler
Need to get a Kidd replacement ASAP, was planning to chase CP3 through FA but our cap space dried up with all the trades. :-[
Still those are some awesome trades!
How'd you get Harden, Ibaka and Faried whilst keeping Chandler, Felton and JR :o
Think one day soon all us lads should do a fantasy draft assoc with the same draft number and see how we go after a few seasons 8) updated or default rosters though?
Just a thought!

Well first up I was looking to trade Stoudemire, didn't want to deal with his contract/injuries. I think he had some overs trade value (was 4 or 4 and 1/2 stars) so tried to do him + Shumpert for Harden and Ibaka. They kept asking for Felton but I wasn't too keen on making Kidd play 30 mins a game when he struggles a bit offensively in this game (or he does for me).
So ended up with -
Knicks trade: Stoudemire, Shumpert, Thomas Brewer
Thunder trade: Ibaka, Harden, Sefolosha, Perkins
I didn't want Sefolosha or Perkins, esp Perkins because his contract was pretty big and he wouldn't get minutes with Chandler around, originally I was trying to move Chandler and Perkins as a package to get a DMC or Bynum esque player but that didn't really fly. Ended up going to the Nuggets and trying to get some more youth, we ended up getting -
Knicks Trade: Perkins, Sefolosha, 14 1st round pick, 13 1st round pick
Nuggets Trade: Faried, McGee
Not too concerned about losing the picks as I think they will be in the 20s anyway and we have some solid youth now, as I said earlier though need to find another PG haha.
Dealing like a champ haha. Good form Sid 8)

Think one day soon all us lads should do a fantasy draft assoc with the same draft number and see how we go after a few seasons 8) updated or default rosters though?
Just a thought!
Online association with a fantasy draft would be even better.
Different consoles might make it difficult, pretty sure I am the only one that plays on PC.
Just traded Kidd for Augustin and a first rounder only for Kidd to announce his retirement 1 game later. ;D

Yeah only problem with that is difference consoles, hence just doing it separately.
I just noticed no more injured rosters for NBA today games. I can finally use Kevin Love online 8)
Lost Game 7 by 1... don't even feel like talking about it :'(
JUST MADE MY BEST ASSOCIATION EVER
Pick 9, fantasy serpentine draft and after 2 seasons of crazy trading/drafting, here is my amazing lineup going into season 3...
PG: Irving (94)
SG: Klay Thompson (83)
SF: Paul George (88)
PF: Cousins (91)
C: Pekovic (80)
6th: Wiggins (82)
7th: Harrison Barnes (82)
All-star lineup hey? :o
Wiggins and Barnes end up getting more mins than Pekovic but the starting 5 looks better with a proper centre in it.
Best thing about it is that they are all so young and Wiggins/Barnes will be pushing high 80s soon.
Thoughts?
Haha, not bad at all!

Create a Legend is where it is at now.
Can't use VC, you have to earn SP like the good ol' days in My Player.
Started one with Landry Fields - just finished a 6 minute game, 24 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks :o
Downloaded the current rosters (Wallace, Humph etc) from 2kshare. Doing a playoff series using 2012-2013 seeds on All-Star difficulty. And dont say All-Star is easy because its not if you are Celtics like I am ;)
So got NYK first round. Lost game 1 but managed to steal HCA in game 2 so its 1-1 heading back to Boston.
Messed around with the 5 and have this... Rondo, Crawford, Lee, Green, Humphries
Its pretty small but it has offense which is the problem with this Celtic team.
Lee is my highest scorer averaging 8 threes a game and my go to guy is Crawford. Got a good fadeaway and is 90 from mid range = easy buckets.
Humphries DESTROYS the boards! The gem coming off the bench is T-Will, his spin dunk is impossible to stop.
Wallace is a liability on offense, only given him like 4mins :P problem is Lee guarding Melo but going ok so far.
Man Chandler is soooo OP on this game ::) doing my head in.
Dropped game 3 in Boston, now 1-2 Knicks with HCA.
Game 4, JR Smith has just gone off for 15 points in 5 minutes with AB defending him :o wtf
Lost game 4 going down 1-3 in the series :( but took game 5 back in NYK ;D
Headed to Boston, to try and force game 7.

get ird of bradley and bring in Lebron or Allen they are better defenders ;)
Held home-court! Time to head to NYK and try and take the series on their home-court! Game 7 :o nervous times
Bron Bron has picked the soundtrack for 2k14. I had a look at it and while there is some good stuff, I am not very impressed
i thought the soundtrack listing was one of the worst i have ever seen for a game period
I dont mind the soundtrack. All pretty mainstream :)
A link with the list http://kotaku.com/heres-the-music-lebron-james-chose-for-nba-2k14-935322705
Drake, Coldplay and Robin Thicke (http://content.boards.philadelphiaeagles.com/public/style_emoticons/default/nonono.gif)

LOL @ PHIL COLLINS ON THERE :P
Best footage I have ever seen was Ray Lewis singing in the Air Tonight at the top of his voice prior to one of the Ravens games. It was played prior to every Ravens game at the players request. I don't know what it is, but American athletes love that song.
Still not impressed with the track list though. 2k11 and 12 tracklist>>>>>2k13 and this one. The Black Keys, Nas and Gorillaz have probably the best tracks on the list. Some of these songs are going to have a severe chop like Hate Me Now for example .

Oh, didn't realise it's significance. Still lol considering the mainstream/hip-hop it's mixed in with. Couple tracks on the new one I haven't heard.
Never played 2011. Agreed that 2012 was better, but still liked most of 2k13 outside of that U2 track and a couple others that seemed like they were put on there for a laugh.

It is pretty funny, I wish I could find the video of Ray Lewis singing it. I have never looked at that song the same since then.
It's because Jay Z picked the track list on 13. He toured with U2 which is why I think that made it's way on there.
Who even listens to the soundtrack? It's pretty rubbish, I just play my own music in the background. :P

Oh and btw
#4YearSmooveFan
I picked up 2k14 today. I have to say I am really disappointed so far. The controls feel really limited and you no longer have to hold the trigger to shoot with the right stick, but crossover moves are still on the stick. It is a really bad layout, they should have gone with a 1 trigger, 2 trigger system
2k12>>>>>2k13>>>>>>2k14
Oh yeah and the soundtrack still blows
Surprised to hear that, mat! I havent picked it up yet but everything I've heard has been positive.
I will be getting the game, hopefully soon for 'Association'. Maybe it just takes a bit of getting used to?
It obviously sucks cos LeBrick created it ;D
If you have used the stick to shoot through the last few games you will be really disappointed. Shooting wise you are severely limited compared to the last few. If you turbo when you shoot all you can do is step hop jumpers. So you can't create shots like this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge45T02P4XU
unless you are not using the turbo, meaning you can not create separation using a couple of quick steps. Also the same goes for if you are driving on the fast break and want to shoot around the defender. You used to be able to fake inside then step out for the layup by holding the left trigger and flicking to the defenders side and then flicking back out. They have effectively f'ed that up with the crossovers and shots being on the same stick.
Rap is fine, although he picked a lot of ishy rap. Coldplay on the other hand blows. So does Blurred Lines. 2 years of Coldplay is 2 years to many
Had to watch my brother play like 4 hours of it today. Looks pretty good.
[spoiler]only joking it looks shower, like 2k13 but with slightly altered menus and like 2 different ways/systems of doing things in a match. 1/10 what an absolute waste of $90[/spoiler]
Picked up the game today and have been playing it quite a lot, already started my speed run association, using the Kings.
My starting line-up looks like this atm:
Isiah Thomas (Like small fast PG and he's a decent defender)
Oladipo (Obviously he's young, gonna turn into a star)
Mbah A Moute (Suppose he brings some athleticism)
Sullinger (Awesome hustler, extreme rebounder)
Cousins (Gun)
Then off the bench I have Vasquez and McLemore and Bass :)
Not sure how I feel about the new blocking system. Already blocked a few dunks (Rondo blocked Big Baby haha), seems pretty balanced though.
Picked it up today! :)
Doing my Celtics association... Got a decent trade offer.
Jeff Green (80ovrl, 27y.o) + Avery Bradley (78ovrl, 22y.o) FOR Josh Smith (86ovrl, 27y.o) + Peyton Siva (66ovrl, 23y.o)
Thoughts?

I wouldn't do it.
I pulled the pin, mainly because of the logjam we have at SG & Bradley was about to leave in FA. At the trade deadline atm, here is the team...
PG: Rondo
SG: Beal
SF: J-Smoove
PF: Sully
C: Olynyk
Bench: Speights, Humphries, Brooks. Stacks of draft picks and expiring deals so it will be a busy off-season :)
just started a new career as a centre.... getting drafted by Boston as a Miami fan.....

:P
Dat Lebron face :P
Well now I've finished with school I thought I'd pick up 2k again, but I'm too cheap to buy 2k14. I forgot how awesome my association with the Pelicans is!
Kyrie (88)
Harden (94)
Kidd-Gilchrist (86)
Thompson (82)
Davis (95)
and I traded for the Celts first rounder from a while ago and ended up with the first pick in the draft! Got a 78 rated PF #killingit
I'm addicted to 2k14 MyTeam atm... Have Wall, Pierce, Deng and David Lee as my big-four :) got them all in packs! So lucky cos I love Wall and PP haha.
I've never played MyTeam or online much at all :(
Is MyTeam good?

I love it. Apart from Association, its the best game mode imo :)
Dat trade. So bad. J Smith is amazing, but you are giving 2 decent players for 1 good and 1 awful. I;d always trade for draft picks though. Seeing how awful boston is this year on paper and on the court, i'd just trade Rondo for number 1/2 pick and Green for a lottery pick. Rebuild from the bottom.
Have the choice between Tyreke Evans, Jeff Green and Nic Batum in my association. Tyreke is the highest rated but his shooting leaves a lot to be desired...
Thoughts?
Batum for D and outside shooting
Quote from: Mat0369 on December 07, 2013, 03:39:59 PM

Reckon he's much better than Tyreke?
So I did an Association fantasy draft this morning. I'm yet to play again but have done lots of trading and ended up with this lineup.
PG: Mike Conley
SG: Victor Oladipo
SF: Nic Batum
PF: Kevin Love
C: Roy Hibbert
Rarely play with K-Love, how is he best to use on offense? Need some tips.
I don't think I've ever used Love in 2k. :o
My association with the Lakers in 2k13, into the semi's in the Playoffs.
Got a very low pick in the draft so I had to make do with this.
Jameer Nelson
Iman Shumpert
Rudy Gay
Paul Peirce
Tyson Chandler
Gay is averaging 28 points, 5 assists & 7 boards playing 9 min QTR's.
Running Peirce at the 4 spot for like 4 mins at the start. Then I rotate him out and have him like a 6th man. My bench is very dodgy with Gerald Henderson being my main bench weapon. But Troy Murphy gets good minutes and is a rebounding demon. :P

Dont worry about it, just dropped 28 and 10 with him in my first game :P
Love is a beast in the 2k games. I put up 44 with him last night against a mate in 2k13
Hibbert is a flowering beast in 2k. 8 minute quarters so he only played 24 minutes, but that didn't stop him from posting this crazy stat line!
43 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 blocks
Hibbert's contract is a pain though >:(
KLove was dominant in 2k13.
2k14 is a beast game. Haven't played manager mode yet but My Career is coming along nicely.
Played against a mate today as Mavs against Pacers, scored 110 points with Monta Ellis, 3 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks.
It was like 130-110 hahaha, he wasn't that bad. 6 minute quarters also.
flower me thats nice haha. Good job :D
Im addicted to association atm.

Hahaha flower Lebron. I've been playing so much association recently, becomes a bit easy though... Not hard to trade rape the CPU and end up with lineups wih everyone over like 83rtg
I'll end up getting 2k14 down the track, either on PS3 or on the PS4 once the Asians have stopped buying all the consoles. :-X

Hahahaha, I actually laughed so hard :P
XBOX ONE
NBA 2K14, 30+ points 5 rebounds/assists plus some steals and blocks in the rookie showcase game. (Beat Jackson Ellis too!)
First Round, Pick 11 to the Philadelphia 76ers, i don't mind that though, to easily become the face of the franchise and have a big role in an okay team to bring them up.
Didn't play a minute in the first 2 games, didn't get regular minutes until about a month in were i got to 6th man and 20+ minutes a game.
Wasn't getting the shot to win the game, or the last minute in clutch moments. Which was annoying me, after a while i started getting those minutes, first game i played til the end, i hit the game winner. By the new year, as i'm getting more minutes Philly are on the rise, coming into the 8th seed.
Between New Year and the All Star break i was getting toward 28-30 minutes a game. Averaging now about 28 points a game, i get selected for the 3-Point Contest, Rookie v Sophmores AND the ALL-STAR Game, got about 15 minutes in the All-Star game, score 37 points with 11 3's. Win the MVP for the game.
I have a meeting with the coach after that saying i'm gonna start. From then Philly went on a run. Going up and up in the east finishing with the 3rd best record in the east only behind the Heat and Bulls.
First Round, i sweep Indiana, 4-0. Too easy.
Second Round, Chicago. lose the first 2 at home, win next 2 away, went to game 7, but got over the line. 4-3
Conference Finals, Miami, win it in 6. Lebron had now counter on me.
Finals vs Clippers, win it at the buzzer of game 7.
Philly, are NBA champions.
I win the finals MVP, Most 3's in a season, Average most steals and win the scoring title. AND last one, the MVP.
39PPG, 6APG, 8RPG, 3SPG, 1.4BPG.
First season, Scoring Champion, NBA Champion, MVP, Finals MVP.
All teams have a long green bar of interest in me.
Let the 2nd season come.
and here's a little surprise for asik! ;)

Time to hit up a bit of 2k14 association. Going to be rebuilding the Celtics and getting them back into championship contention 8) just going to sim the 82 game regular season, but will do the playoffs on all-star difficulty (yeah I know, I aint that good).
Might just keep track of all the GM moves I make on this thread just cos I'm bored and it may be an interesting read to some of y'all.
Current lineup is: Rondo, Bradley, Green, Humphries, Sullinger and a bag of spuds on the bench...
First off, going to try and offload the awful contracts of Wallace, Bass and Green. Will look at Humphries too, but happy to just let him come off the books in the off-season if need be.
Still undecided whether I'll trade Rondo and go for that top 2 pick, or keep him to pair with the rookie I get that will be likely around the 6-10 range if I don't trade him.
Won the 2015 title with the Celtics. Lineup was: Lawson, Stephenson, Leonard, Vucevic, Horford with Kemba as my 6th man :D
Now, started a new one in fantasy draft format. Team leading into the 2014 post-season is Dragic, Afflalo, Batum, Davis, Sanders with 3pt shooting off the bench. Such an elite defensive team and have nabbed the #2 spot in the east.

On 2k13 without updated rosters, after the first off-season I had a team of:

Hibbert
Not bad at all! Done a new one... The starting 5 after 3 seasons is:
Irving (92)
Beal (90)
Melo (91)

I just won a championship with Cleveland in my first season, but trading is making me so mad. I've got an insane bench, so I'm trying to off load some of them and improve my 5. But of course no team will trade their stars.
I offered Miami, Kyrie + Bennett + Greek Freak + Varejao for LeBron and they still rejected it. Tried Carmelo, Durant, Howard, George, no team would trade them. All different combos too.
Here was my championship winning team:
Kyrie/MCW
Waiters/Dellavadova
Gay/Greek Freak
Sully/Bennett
Varejao/Hawes/Zeller

I use trade finder to sort of get the framework of the trade, and then when I find one I like, I go to the trade screen and negotiate. It's ridiculous. Sometimes, let's say the offer is for you to give up Bledsoe, Hibbert and 2 firsts for Dwight on trade finder... You go into the trade screen, remove the 2 first rounders and instead offer if they'll give up 2 first-rounders... They accept!
Trade finder is just to get an idea. Not the be all and end all.
Never realised how over-powered defense is on 2k... Controlling two teams in the one association, one I drafted for pure offense, and the other only defense.
All-Offense lineup:
Calderon
Redick
G.Green
Dirk
Bosh
All-Defense lineup:
Bradley
T.Allen
Ariza
Davis
Noah
The All-Offense lineup finished with the leagues best offense (worst defense) but didn't even make the playoffs. Whereas the All-Defense lineup owned the league's best defense (worst offense) and finished with the best record in the league!
Tip: Load up on defensive specialists!!!!!
