[ecnal]

how are you distributing the winnings, kado?

winner gets all or a tiered distribution?

i think im with smokey on this one; if the pot gets that high i'll be interested in joining the ps3 league.

Commissioner flees to Switzerland and creates new bank account.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

FOR PS3 PARTICIPANTS
assuming everyone is willing to contribute to the pot with a $20 buy-in,
the current pot stands at $330.00 US Dollars
If the league gets full, the potential pot will rise to $630 US Dollars.
($20 x 30 Team + $50 commish buy-in)=$630.00

i dont know, whoever co-commish will be (pheeniks?). i will have to discuss disbursement for finals participants

Commissioner flees to Switzerland and creates new bank account.

i actually want someone else to be treasure master for the pot. i was hoping a mod of some sorts.

 

[Smokey]

Kado is trying to fund his vicodin + ambien CR perscription for the rest of the year and into the next with this potential pot. I know what it is son.

This. Viak will rig league so that he wins and has a week worth of prescription drugs. I'm being serious.

this pot stuff? sounds amazing. lol.

 

[TheFreshPrince]

Is there gonna be a buy-in/pot for the 360 league?

 

[CartridgeBlower]

I'm not overly-familiar with past NBA 2k GAF leagues, but doesn't having actual winnings of that amount cause players to cheese like crazy? I know there will be rules for it, but still, you're going to have people playing uber-seriously (not always a good thing in an online game where cheese is common) because they want/need that money.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

yes, ps3 league will be amazing.

Is there gonna be a buy-in/pot for the 360 league?

no because the 360 commish is too cheap to have a collective pot.
the grand prize is a $75 gift certificate, courtesy of smokey.

there's no way to enforce play style. I can only limit cheesing. but from what i've played from the demo, its more difficult this year to cheese. yes there will be exploits, but we'll do our best to keep it fair and competitive.
i will be implementing league rules very similar to smokey's with strict rules to adhere to.

 

[DiddyBop]

So long as on ball D is mandatory and i get my clippers the ps3 league should be fine hopeing for at least 20 players

No buy in. I'm putting up my own money as a prize to winner of 360 tournament as well as 360 league.

If 360 players are down for a pot/play I'll do it, if not then no biggie.

Any word on when the PC version will be available for download? I hope they put it up on Steam and other DD platforms soon.

The release date? October 5th.

 

[Nabs]

I know the release date, but I can't find any information on it being released on any DD platform. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about that. I don't plan on buying this retail.

 

[benjipwns]

I'm assuming it'll be on the same services as last year: Steam, Gamersgate, D2D.

It wasn't up on there until like a week before IIRC last year. You could pre-order it but it wouldn't pre-load, you had to download it on release day.

 

[Nabs]

Cool, thanks.

When is the tourney?

[Smokey]

When is the tourney?

If you're talking about 360, I'll probably start it a couple of weeks after launch of the game.

starting 5 player ratings for all teams:

http://www.operationsports.com/feature.php?id=1138

Brooks - 80
Martin - 80
Battier - 76
Scola - 78
Yao- 83

Brooks and Scola are too low but whatever, a solid starting 5 to work with. Can't wait to do layups with Yao's arm in the rim.

 

[Knux-Future]

Those are basically the same ratings as 2k10's last roster update.

 

[ecnal]

ya, ronnie2k's twitter suggests that these ratings will actually be changed immediately via roster updates:

@MendacitySeries He will be higher at roster update. This was locked at 8/20. 91 for KD is low.

You keep your dirty hands away from my Mavs!!! You already have the Niners in the madden league...do you really have to take my b-ball team too??

Draft day trades!

- Classic Teams: I’ve seen so much discussion on this in the forums despite us previously confirming this. Yes, you absolutely can take our classic teams into Association. This means you can bring any of Jordan’s Bulls into the league. Equally as fun I have found is to bring in the Malone/Stockton Jazz and the Ewing Knicks alongside the Jordan teams.

Awesome.

 

[Smokey]

Fuck 2k please deliver with the netcode. If they do (and My Player, Crew etc) and it all works then goddddddddddam

all over my face

that reminds me, i need to create a section for CREW games.
also an IRC chat

 

[pilonv1]

Being able to take Jordan and school the Heat? seems so

 

[mbmonk]

Any of you having success getting IsoMotion to do what you want it to do? The only thing I can get it to do consistently is the cross over. The simplest move in the game.

EDIT: To 'size up' you have to do LT and a direction on the left stick. What I saw earlier was just the LT.

 

[Smokey]

I still think MLB The Show is the best sports game out. I don't even like baseball like that and that game is crazy.

All I'm asking for is for promised features to work out of the box day 1 (is that too much too ask :/). After slider adjustments this shit will be golden.

 

[Purexed]

2K11 seems too good to be true... like we're all about to get punked. The feature set reads like a fanboy's wet dream.

 

[JohngPR]

Doesn't help that the demo doesn't have a practice mode so you can't adequately practice your moves.

 

[Assemble!]

Dirk and David Lee the same rating??? Hmm ok....

 

[mbmonk]

ya, ronnie2k's twitter suggests that these ratings will actually be changed immediately via roster updates:

Does this mean that the rosters on the disk will still be the same as 2k10 and you will have to download a 'roster update' to get the real ratings? Surely I am misinterpreting this.

 

[ecnal]

not all of them are the same as 2K10, there are a number that have changed.

all he's saying is that there will be a roster update day1 or very soon after launch.

2K updates the rosters weekly (typically) during the NBA season in order to best match their ratings with how the players are actually performing.

in reference to his actual quote, it looks like they locked the roster on 8/20--probably when the game went gold--and that KD should be rated higher because of his performance in the fiba games--that's my assumption.

 

[ecnal]

also, snippet from OS interview with Rob Jones

Steve: Okay, so patience in developing it. A lot of our Operation Sports community wants to know about the servers online. Can you comment them on them? Have they been addressed at all?


Rob Jones: Like I’ve always said before, online is a big challenge. It’s definitely a bigger challenge for us because we got online real early – a long time ago. And we had a technology that worked very well until online blew up. You know what I’m saying? For gamers in general, online is a big deal now. So this year we have brand new tech, and brand new servers that should really address all of it. But we won’t know if it’s perfect until it’s live. With that said, we expect everybody to be fine with it when it comes out.

from what i read too that they have written the netcode from scratch for the new servers.
they'll be bugs and kinks to work out, but if fixed accordingly, this could be the goat of sports gaming.

btw ps3 league currently stands at 14.
if we can just at least get a couple more particpants, i'll consider this league a go, GO, GO!

 

[thauoftkidd]

yea guys encourage whoever you know to make the ps3 league a reality! lol!

- Selling: This is a team whose window has closed and they are clearly trying to move their aging/bad contracts for youth/picks. It’s not common for a team to be in this state long in our game, or in the real NBA. When it happens though, it’s best to strike while the iron is hot. When you think Selling team, think what the Wizards did last season or what the Celtics and Spurs will be doing in approximately 12-24 months from now. Sorry Celtics and Spurs fans. Reality is coming soon…

That's just fucked up. :lol

Player Finder
Over the course of developing 2K11’s The Association, these two features very quickly became my two best friends. Let’s start off with the Player Finder. With this feature, users can find players in the league that meet any search criteria you want. An example of this in use is as follows. I’ve started a new Association with the 76ers, but I’d like to find a new PG to run the team as I don’t see Louis Williams or Jrue Holiday in my future plans. Here is what I need: A PG that is under 28 years old, that makes less than 10M per year, that has a B+ or Better Outside Shot, and that has a B+ or Better Perimeter Defense rating. Just like that, I have a list of every player in the league that fits my criteria. When used properly, Player Finder is a very valuable took for team building and filling out your roster. Finding specialists has never been easier.

FUCKING FINALLY! Thank you!

 

[benjipwns]

IIRC, doesn't the NBA set the roster date?

 

[ecnal]

IIRC, doesn't the NBA set the roster date?

not sure, i wouldn't be surprised if they did. the NBA has had a lot of final say in all bball games. for example, even though 2K's ratings account for 0-100, no NBA player is rated below 25 in any category--the NBA explicitly asked for that. 2K finally just got the approval to have a dynamic attendance model too--the NBA had always been opposed to this for obvious reasons.

i just assumed that, given the release date, 8/20 could have been the time rosters were locked because production may have started/was about to start, but it's definitely plausible that the NBA set that date in order to review the rosters.
