Well right now im on my 4 association mode. My first was when i first got the game. I put On 29 games, 9 min a quarter. It was real fun, and i was learning how to play the game while in association mode. This was during the start of the real nba season so…naturally i traded almost everyone and kept kirk and rose as my all star back court. Every month i would give kirk 3 pt training, and rose mid range training. I traded deng for kapono, i got rid of tyrus because i couldnt figure out how to use him, and eventually traded noah for marcus camby. I drafted this awesome center who i could describe as 7’1 290 lbs version of Tim Duncan. . AT the end of eveDude was kik ass, and i learned how to play in the post with him. every year i gave kirk per d camp and his steal rating was killer, rose is beast, and my center i trained after hinrich had hit a pont where he didnt need to train his 3pt shooting. It was a good association, at the end of it hinrich had 3 more years in his 2nd contract, alot of guys had retired, manu was a benchwarmer….it was fun. I think i was in the year 2015. THen my hard drive glitched…. :(

I had to restart my association, and i started one with amare on my roster, it was pretty boring lacking the excitement of the first one and way too easy. I started another one after the trades, in this one i turned the edit prospect option on. I found a guy who sort of (not really) looked like me. I went and edited his name to mine, i changed his shooting style, freethrow style, layup and post game style all to match what i do in real life (in real life i actually do shoot like walton, i have a similar, not exact though, way of shooting freethrows like Brandon Wright, i often do fake layups like rondo, and i tend to raise my knee on doing fadeaways like nowitski) i edited the stats which was the most fun, cuz i thought i got them just right. I ended drafting myself, and a few other real good players, got bosh, and i played 5 seasons through before my team ended up too good, and i had to have contracts done for hinrich, rose, and my guy…and i hated that my players were so good….the last guy i drafted though was killer! He was a 6’7 dude who had a great long range game, but his dunking skills were awesome, he had a custom dunk template, and did 360s like nobodys business, it was a cross between vince carter and lebron james dunks….with a little jamario moon mixed in….dude was sick…and i had no room for him on my roster, thats when i decided that i would restart my association once more.

My new association, i skipped ahead an entire season (ironically the bulls play the celtics in the first round, and WIN!) then came to this offseason, i signed ben gordon, and sent him, tyrus thomas, and first rounds for bosh….no regrets here. THe game isnt easy, bosh is awesome, i cant pound anyone inside, but he scores so easily with mid range jumpers, and beating guys off the dribble, as well as his beastly ability to rebound. Kirk comes off the bench ( im trying to keep this season more realistic) salmons is my startin sg, and i run plays for deng to get his shots off. Noah is a defensive beast. Im in my second season right now, and its hard to play. I’m not doing as much training now, trying to play the game more realistically, and the good teams are beating me. Its more fun but i sort of know the limits in the game and i cant wait till 2k10 and hope the flaws are taken care of. I think personally 2k8 might have been my favorite 2k game.

Yea this is a long post, i often question whehter i should start a 2k9 thread, but eventually it will disapear and id want it to be there so i can continue posting new revelations of my 2k9 story (i like playying with a storyline in my head, and after im done playing i imagine what the tnt, espn, a nd comcast crews would say about my roster and my games).
