WALL BALL (2-0) - 2011-12 UNDERWAY!!!

Postby thatwizardguy on Sun Jan 09, 2011 2:27 am

What's up, I'm going to reboot my 2k10 association onto 2k11.

The Setting is rookie begin with, with simulation sliders, as i get more comfortable with the game it goes to pro... and then from there. Games are 10 minutes long and the season is 58 games long, if anyone knows how to make injuries more occuring please tell me, I would love to see some guys hit the injury report as probable, 1-2 weeks ect ect, because in my other association, my players rarely got injured :(.

I will be using the Washington Wizards, my goal for season one is to be on the verge of the playoffs, a seed 8 would be nice, anything less isn't dissapointing since i'm a rebuilding franchise.

I will be doing something new this time around, at the end of each week, i will post weekly news, power rankings and my view on how the league has gone so far. I hope this can go for at least 5 seasons, that was what i was planning to do with my other franchise, but the lure of the pre-game stuff and general improvements of nbak11 made me just get the game.

I will reserve this post as well for chapter updates... I will keep this clean, don't want it messy like my last one.

Good luck man, I liked your 2k10 association.

Injuries happen more frequently in NBA 2k11, which includes In-Game injuries, and practice injuries. They increase, trust me.

Away Team Box Score - Home Team Box Score

Memphis (AP) - The Washington Wizards visited the Memphis Grizzlies in the first game of the season, and almost escaping with a win, but the Grizzlies turned on the heat in the final minute leading them to a 9 point victory.

Why the Wizards lost: The Wizards managed to just convert 38% of their field goal shooting. That's not good enough in the NBA, regardless if the Grizzlies hit just 40%, if they had hit 40%, they would of won since they had more three pointers than Memphis. Also they lacked on the bench, when John Wall went off, Kirk Hinrich went 1 of 5 on field goals, and didn't record a single point until the third quarter, which stunted the Wizards scoring although he recorded a couple of assists.

Why the Grizzlies won: The Wizards didn't have an answer to stop Rudy Gay on offense, Gay kept dribbling his way through the defense and making some dunk reels on his way to recording almost 30 points, the Grizzlies also forced more turnovers, the Grizzlies commited just 4 turnovers, whilst the Wizards commited 11, almost four times as much.

Away Team Box Score - Home Team Box Score

Charlotte (AP) - The Washington Wizards travelled to Carolina to face the Bobcats, the Wizards tried to spoil the season tipoff for the Bobcats but ultimately they were blown out after a sloppy game.

Why the Wizards lost: They were not able to contain D.J. Augustin, Augustin recorded 20 points and flawlessy found teammates open for the slam dunks. Once again they shot poorly converting just 41% of their shots and commited far too many turnovers (23). They were also once again outscored in bench points by 34-18.

Why the Bobcats won: The Bobcats were able to force John Wall and Rashard Lewis into unwanted shots, Wall hit just 3 of his 15 field goals and Lewis hit just 4 of his 17 shots, combining both they were 7 for 32 on field goals and 2 for 11 on three pointers, they were able to keep the Wizards best players in check, especially forcing rookie John Wall into situations he did not face in at Kentucky.
