Intro: How To Navigate Blog

This blog is primarily created to share all of my NBA 2k12 Association Mode Story Lines. I will also use the blog to update info about my online association and possibly a few other things. The easiest way to navigate the blog is through the categories on your right hand side, I will make a category with the name of the team. You can just click on the team and read the blog posts of the story line idea that I have created for that organization. I will often also create an example of each idea so you can kind of see what it would look like. In the end its up to you guys to take the ideas and run with it and have fun in association mode. I love hearing feedback and responses from you guys so please do comment. Also in the future I am going to post results of how you guys played out the story, so please keep me updated on how it goes in your association mode.

New Feature Revealed: E-Star Goals

The new feature will be showcased in the newest episode of the series: NBA 2k12 Association Mode Story Line Ideas. E-Star Goals is a feature that will be used throughout a few of the story lines from here on out. The basic idea is that each team will have tasks or goals that will actually affect your association depending on completion or failure. It can be any thing from reaching a winning record or having a particular player achieve certain stats or awards throughout the season. The effect on your association could end up shifting you into a totally new direction on how you will build the team. We are excited about this new feature and think it can add another level of entertainment to the series. Stay tuned for future feature updates! We are excited to reveal more ideas as we create more and more story lines. As always you can sign up to the email subscription for free and get updates on new material immediately upon release. What do you guys think about the new feature: E-Star Goals? Leave a comment and let us know.

Living With Past Mistakes: The Charlotte Bobcats Association Story Line

Intro: Welcome to your new office and home for the years to come here in Charlotte. As you are aware we are a team that is trying to get out of the slumps and trying to rebuild from scratch. Although it has been seven years since our inaugural season in 2004-2005 we still are struggling to find the right fits for this team. We have made the playoffs only once in our past history as a franchise. Things need to change and although it feels like we are constantly having turnover here in Charlotte, we still are hopeful that you will be the one to steer us back on course for the playoffs. Your task is simple rebuild the whole organization from ground up. That was a joke, it won’t be easy but lets see what you can do. As you know this past draft we made what seems to have been one of the first smart picks in franchise history. With Kemba Walker we know exactly what we are getting, a born leader with skills that can turn him into one of the elite point guards in the NBA. Other than him we really have no idea what direction to go, hope you have a plan ready. All I know is there are a few past mistakes that we will have to live with going forward in the future. We will talk about that more when we sit down as an organization and come up with a basic outline or plan to follow. You will play a key role in helping rebuild this team, and of course we as a front office will be giving you plenty of tasks and objectives to accomplish along the way but for the most part we are going to rely on your managing skills to get us out of this mess. (Weeks Pass) After going through all of our options we have come to a conclusion of what type of team we want to rebuild and the strategies that will be used to accomplish it. Thanks for your help you contributed a lot to our meeting and we were easily able to see why you got this job. So just to review a few key points to our meeting, we will be rebuilding our team with players that are young and athletic. Also we will rely on the draft tremendously in the first 2 years. As for long-term success we are planning on having a break out season in year 4. With our four-year plan we see ourselves being a powerhouse in the east in the seasons to follow year 4. Although many might laugh at this vision that we have created, we feel like you are going to bring great things to the city of Charlotte.

Roster Rules: Pre-Season 1

1) We are not wanting to get rid of any of our first round draft picks for the first two seasons in any of the trades that we construct.
2) You can trade through out the season up to the trade deadline as much as you feel fit.
3) We are wanting to build a young athletic team, so all players on the roster need to be under the age of 23.
4) Now there are a few players that we are wanting to keep so take a look below at a list of the players we want to keep.

Roster Tasks: Pre-Season 1

Second Chance: Alexis Ajinca

1) Kemba Walker is our future so we will be building our team around him, he is off-limits.
2) Bismack Biyombo was our other player in this past draft, keep him on the roster I promise even though he is raw right now we can develop him into the next Serge Ibaka.
3) This is going to sound a little weird but I feel like we need to give one of our past players a *Second Chance…. His name is Alexis Ajinca, I don’t feel like we ever gave him a chance to show us what his skills were. He was picked 20th overall in the 2008 draft out of France. I know this is crazy but I think he can be one of the most dominant centers in the league. Go pick him up out of free agency and sign him to a 5 year deal as a starter. You will oversee the development of this young player and will need to make sure he succeeds so as to not make a fool out of the two of us. Give him a *Second Chance and make sure he sees action on the court. *Second Chance: new feature added!
4) As for everyone else, do whats the best for our team, but remember everyone needs to be 23 years of age or under.
5) Flip our second round picks for another first round pick in this coming draft. You can package them with a player if need be. Make a trade with a team that you feel is going to be bad, because you will not be able to trade after you have seen the draft order.
6) We will need to have 6 players on our team with B ratings or higher in the category: Athleticism.

Team Goals: Season 1

1) Develop Alexis Ajinca by using a Developement Drill on him every month of the season.
2) Finish Outside of the bottom 5 teams in the league.
3) Play a Rookie 30+ Min Per Game
4) Have 2 players named to one of the All-Rookie teams.
5) Win the Rookie of The Year Award

Second Chance Goals for Alexis Ajinca: Season 1

1) Improve Points Per Game and Rebounds Per Game over last years stats. More than 4.2 PPG and 2.3 RPG
2) Name a Starter at beginning of Season 1.
3) Play 30+ Min Per Game
4) Improve Position Rank Into one of the Top 100 Centers. Current Rank is 117th amongst active Centers.

Roster Rules: Off-Seasons 1-4

1) You can sign any Free Agent but their age can not be older than Alexis Ajinca.
2) You can not make any Draft Day Trades for Picks, or Trade away our Picks.
3) Unfortunately we get screwed again and will have to pass on Anthony Davis even if he is still there when we are on the clock in the draft.

Roster Rules: Seasons 2-4

1) Can only trade away 2 players each year before trade deadline, we will need to start building a strong team chemistry after our first season.
2) Never allowed to trade away Kemba Walker, Bismack Biyombo, or Alexis Ajinca
3) No age restrictions on roster after fourth season.
4) Keep at least 6 players on the team with B ratings or higher in the category: Athleticism.

Team Goals: Seasons 2-4

1) Make the Playoffs Twice
2) By Year 4 we need to be a threat in the Eastern Conference so that in future years we can fight for a Title.
3) We need to have at least 4 All Star appearances throughout the seasons by our players.
4) Bismack Biyombo should be named to an All-Defensive Team by Year 4.
5) Kemba Walker should be one of our highest rated players in year 4 with an 84+ ovr. (You will need to use developement drills and send him to camps in the off-seasons.)

Second Chance Goals for Alexis Ajinca: Seasons 2-4

1) Continue to use development drills every month for the next 4 seasons.
2) Send to camps in the off-seasons, the one that allows players to grow their potential might be smart to send him to.
3) Average 12+ PPG
4) Average 10+ RPG
5) Named an All-Star in the Eastern Conference
6) Make an All-NBA Team
7) Named Most Improved Player of The Year

Association Settings: All Seasons

1) If you are not playing on Hall of Fame you should increase the difficulty during playoffs to Hall of Fame.
2) If not playing on Hall of Fame mode, every 2 years you should increase the difficulty level.
3) This was written for 82 game seasons, if you sim you should play 1 game out of every 5 but not limited to just playing 1 game. Never simulating more than 4 in a row.
4) This was also written under the guidelines of 10 min quarters and 12 min simulated quarters.
5) Trade Override: Off
6) Team Chemistry: On
7) Player Roles: On (Must have 5 Starters, 1 Sixth Man, 2 Role Players and the rest must be set to Bench Warmers)
8) Progressive Fatigue and Injuries: On

New Feature Revealed: Second Chance

The new feature will be showcased in the newest episode of the series: NBA 2k12 Association Mode Story Line Ideas released tonight July 17. Second Chance is a feature that will be used throughout a few of the story lines from here on out. The basic idea is to take a past player that was drafted or brought onto a team and never got to show the front office what they could bring to the organization, either because they didn’t have the opportunity to play or because they never lived up to expectations. You will be given specific goals for these Second Chance players and will need to follow the tasks given. We are excited about this new feature and think it can add another level of entertainment to the series. Stay tuned for future feature updates! We are excited to reveal more ideas in the future. As always you can sign up to the email subscription for free and get updates on new material immediately upon release. What do you guys think about the new feature: Second Chance?

The Choice Is Yours: The Atlanta Hawks Association Story Line

Intro: Congratulations you have been given the reigns of the Atlanta Hawks. You are now the new GM and in full control over the future success of this organization. But of course you will need to meet multiple goals in order to secure your new gig as boss. The organization has been a middle of the pack playoff team for quiet some time now. With the current roster it doesn’t appear that you will be getting to the conference finals any time soon needless to say the NBA finals. Not with teams like Miami and Chicago competing in the East. This is where you come in as the new GM and having the task of putting a new look and group of players on the court that can compete immediately. Your number one objective: Bringing a championship to Atlanta, a NBA championship that is. Your current roster is full of assets so we do expect to see results in the near future, and what I mean by that is this year. With our current roster we as a staff will need to sit down and discuss each player and where they stand as members of the Atlanta Hawks. But before we get to that I will need to ask you a few questions so that we can get a good feel for what type of team you are wanting to assemble. We as an organization believe in being on the same page at all times and communication is key to that success.

* In the next portion of this story line you will need to answer these questions for yourself in finding out what type of team you want to build. Follow the instructions given through out and we will be sure to put a contender in front of our fans in Atlanta. Depending on your response you will follow the number next to the answer and read on to the next question.

Questions: Answer The Next Few Questions For Us

First order of business is finding a style of play. You must decide first off what type of team you want it to be. What is the primary make up of your new look Hawks? In the past we have been known for having a very talented team and yet pretty balanced on both sides of the ball. But we do know that most often times teams favor one side of the ball more than the other. What is it that you would prefer building a team around?
(1) Balanced Offensive Team
(2) Long, Athletic Defensive Team

* If you have chosen to be a balanced offensive team then continue reading at the (1) if you are wanting to build a long, athletic defensive team then skip on down to the paragraph in the article starting with (2)

(1) I like the way you think we should definitely put together a team that can put the ball in the basket. I find it impressive that you want to put a major focus on balancing out our team with not having a single superstar but rather by having multiple threats and players to attack with. Basketball is a team sport and I like the fact that you have found that out already, as so many other teams seem to think the only way to win in the NBA is by having a superstar. I however am not fully sold on the idea… after all the NBA is a copy cat league and I told you we are wanting to win NOW and we can not afford to lose this year, so I really hope for your sake this works out. Are you sure you want to go with a balanced offensive approach?
(1-1) Yes I am sure, this is how I am custom to winning in all of the other organizations and levels that I have been involved in. I will prove to you that we can win and be a contender now in the Eastern Conference.
(1-2) No you are right, on second thought I think we should shake it up a bit and go after superstar players. We will need to copy the blueprint of the Thunder and Heat. Lets form our own Big Three here in Atlanta!

* If you have chosen to continue to build a balanced offensive team despite the extra pressure put on by your owner then continue reading at the (1-1) but if you are wanting to Form a Big Three of Our Own then skip on down to the paragraph in the article starting with (1-2)

(1-1) Ok but it is your neck you are putting on the line. You can’t say I didn’t warn you. If you are wanting to put together a balanced offensive team on the court then there are a few rules and guidelines that we will need to lay out that are specific to this build of a team.

Roster Rules for (1-1) Balanced Offensive Team: Pre-Season 1

• We have tried to build through the draft before and are not wanting to play this game again… So to us our picks are useless, you can trade away as many as you would like.
• You can make as many trades as needed before our first game but I feel it important to build team chemistry after, so we will not be making any trades after our first game of the year.
• We don’t want to get rid of all of our players so lets sit down and discuss which players are expendable and which are off-limits.

Roster Tasks for (1-1) Balanced Offensive Team: Pre-Season 1

• Our top trading assets are Josh Smith and Al Horford, I am thinking we need to get rid of one of them to bring in 2 quality players for the price of 1 so you choose which one but we need to bring in 2 quality players for them. One player needs to be 78 ovr or above and the other needs to have a rating of 70 ovr or better. So you will need to probably package some of our picks away in a deal.
• Next topic: Joe Johnson, listen I just don’t like spending that kind of money on a player unless his name is Lebron James. So I know it will be tough but I need you to get rid of that contract and open up some cap space… and with that said still try to get something of value out of it. I would expect to see you bring in two new players with ratings of 70 ovr or better.
• Jeff Teague is our future point guard and has really impressed us, we would like to keep it that way so once his rookie contract runs through next year lets re-sign him for a 5 yr deal.
• As for the rest of our players on the roster you can do as you please with them but any trade we need to be getting the better player out of each deal. So any time you trade any of our players you will need to trade for some one of a higher rating.
• All of our starters need to have ratings of 74 or above, and filling in solid back ups will help you in the long haul tremendously.

* If you chose to go with (1-1) Balanced Offensive Team then you will need to skip down to our Team Goals at the bottom. If you decided to go with (1-2) Forming a Big Three of Our Own then read below our rules and tasks for the roster.

(1-2) Thought you would come around to the way I think and the way other NBA teams have seen their championship dreams become a reality. Since you are wanting to put together a Big Three here in Atlanta take a look at some of our roster rules and tasks below. Our roster rules will be the same for any style of team you create but our tasks for what type of players to bring in will obviously change.

Roster Rules for (1-2) Forming a Big Three of Our Own: Pre-Season 1

• We have tried to build through the draft before and are not wanting to play this game again… So to us our picks are useless, you can trade away as many as you would like.
• You can make as many trades as needed before our first game but I feel it important to build team chemistry after, so we will not be making any trades after our first game of the year.
• We don’t want to get rid of all of our players so lets sit down and discuss which players are expendable and which are off-limits.

Roster Tasks for (1-2) Forming a Big Three of Our Own: Pre-Season 1

• We need to keep Josh Smith and pair him up with two other stars in this league, who those three will be? I have no idea that’s why I hired you.
• Jeff Teague is our future point guard and we feel it wise to keep him even if you slide him into a back up role behind a star, we need to develop him. Don’t trade away Teague.
• You have my permission to get rid of all other players on our team in an effort to get two star players on our side playing in Atlanta.
• Our Big Three needs to consist of a player 87 ovr or higher, 85 ovr or higher, and 83 ovr or higher.
• Fill in our roster with at least one 3 point specialist that can spread the court. Must have an A rating on Outside Scoring.

* If you chose to go with (1-2) Forming a Big Three of Our Own then you will need to skip down to our Team Goals at the bottom as they remain the same for any style of play. If you decided to go with (2) Long, Athletic Defensive Team then read below our rules and tasks for the roster.

(2) Ah now that’s a smart man, you must know that even though offense sells tickets defense wins championships and that is definitely what we are looking for. We need you to assemble a team that is going to out hustle the rest of the league and play tough defense night in and night out. We do want to see a team with plenty of height and length. I would like to see a nasty team assembled that is able to score but by using their defense to get their offense going. We have made a list of different rules and task that we expect to see you implement in our roster. Take a look below and let’s get this team shaped up and fit to play some tough/nasty defense.

Roster Rules for (2) Long, Athletic Defensive Team: Pre-Season 1

• We have tried to build through the draft before and are not wanting to play this game again… So to us our picks are useless, you can trade away as many as you would like.
• You can make as many trades as needed before our first game but I feel it important to build team chemistry after, so we will not be making any trades after our first game of the year.
• We don’t want to get rid of all of our players so lets sit down and discuss which players are expendable and which are off-limits.

Roster Tasks for (2) Long, Athletic Defensive Team: Pre-Season 1

• Keep Josh Smith as he is a force on the defensive side of the court.
• We need to make sure that all of our starters have at least a B rating in either the category Perimeter Defense or Post Defense.
• Four of our starters need to be 6’8″ or taller.
• You don’t have to keep Jeff Teague but the city and fans have fallen in love with his explosive play and the potential that he has as a future point guard in this league, so keep that in mind.
• We need to have 1 player on our team that has an A rating in Perimeter Defense and 1 Player with an A rating in Post Defense.

* Regardless of the style of play that you decided on our Team Goals for the Season remain the same, take a look below at our expectations in your first year as boss.

Team Goals: Season 1

• Win an Eastern Conference Title
• Finish the Season with a Top 5 Overall Record in the NBA

All In Approach: The Houston Rockets Association Story Line

Intro: You have been assigned the task of taking over the Houston Rockets and getting them to NBA Title contenders in a time frame of 5 years. We have set a side multiple goals for you that we expect you will follow in helping our orginization grow and become one of the top teams in the West. As you might have seen on the news and through the media we are really pushing for a big man right now. And that doesn’t change for you. Our top prospect obviously being Dwight Howard but we would be happy with any quality big man really… As the owner I want to re-create the days of when we had success and those days were with a Hall of Fame Big man. So lets role the dice and see what we can get. I am more then willing to go all in and throw everything we have at a team in order to get a big man that can be a force for us and the core of our orginization that we can then build around.

All In Approach: What My Roster Looks Like After Trying This Out

Snap Shot Picture of All The Top Contracts On New Look Rockets

So I have tested it out and have finally put together my Houston Rocket Roster with all of the rules and expectations. This is what I came up with let me know what you guys think of the roster I have put together given the circumstances and conditions. Think you can assemble a better roster before your fist game? Prove it and do it and then post on here what you came up with.

Starting Lineup:

PG: Jimmer Fredette (63 ovr) (The underrated rookie that I will play 30+ min/gm)
SG: Shannon Brown (72 ovr) (Athlete, Runs Court, Decent Shooter, Perimeter D)
SF: Wilson Chandler (80 ovr) (Sidekick Player, Slasher, Athletic, Shooter)
PF: Luis Scola (77 ovr) (Rebound Machine, Underrated Offensive Game)
C: Andrew Bynum (87 ovr) (Star Big Man, Strong, Overall Center)

Back Ups:

PG: Andrew Goudelock (59 ovr) (Strong, Good Size, Shooter)
SG: Rudy Fernandez (65 ovr) (Athletic/Awkward)
SF: Austin Daye (59 ovr) (Lengthy, Shooter, Creates Mismatch)
PF: Tiago Splitter (62 ovr) (Underrated Player Ovr)
C: Samuel Dalembert (71 ovr) (Shot Blocker, Defensive Player, Rebounds)

SG: Christian Eyenga (58 ovr)
SF: Tyler Honeycutt (65 ovr)
C: Timofey Mozgov (57 ovr)

So as you can see I still have a lot of work that I need to do in the future and need to develop some players. But mainly I will need to strike gold in Free Agency. So leave me some feedback on what you like and what you would change, and let me know if you try this and what you come up with!
