Workarounds for Glitches in Association Mode (from OS)

For when the patch hits the PC version, here is some tips to get the best results from the Association mode.

After hours & hours of trawling through the NBA 2k forums on here and hours of wasted time playing Association mode only to have to restart it because of glitches/bugs, i've decided to compile relatively short but essential list of what to do (settings) & why when starting an Association.

1. Player Roles: Turned off (Only if you have downloaded Patch #2) - This will stop a glitch where the Bigs in the game will throw stupid amounts of 3pt/Long range shots causing their stats to be messed up.
2. CPU Trades: Turned off - This will stop the most stupidest CPU trade logic in a sports game from ruining your Association (top players being traded to 5-6 different teams within a single season!) To get around this: Only turn cpu trades on at the start of February (that way you only get 2 weeks of crap trading before the trade deadline)
3. Alter all D-League players stats: Offensive & Defensive awareness stats lowered by 20 & potential lower to 37(This stops the cpu from signing all the D-League players and leaving all the free agents to get old and ****ty - its just not realistic)
4. Set the cpu to sort out Pre-Draft workouts: This will 9/10 avoid you losing the pre-game team & player intros in the rest of your seasons.

If anyone has anymore suggestions or if i've missed anything off the list then please post them up.

Omg this is fucked up. Makes me don't wanna download the patch

well I'd rather deal with big man taking 3 point shots in simulation and not make them rather than deal with not being able to send and recall more than 2 players to the d-league
