NBA2K14 - Association Challenge - Day 1

Team: Minnesota Timberwolves
Difficulty: Hall of Fame (default) (8 min quarters seemed like enough)

1st is the roster adjustments. A few trades landed me with this line up (I got a lot of young players with promise and of course I had to get a few UNC guys).

Starters
  • K. Marshall
  • J. Redick
  • T. Harris
  • K. Love
  • R. Hibbert
Bench
  • JJ Barea
  • W. Ellington
  • C. Bundinger
  • J. Henson
  • R. Lopez
  • Seth Curry*
  • R. Hummel
  • Leonard
This is probably the best lineup I could get after my first few trades. I decided to add Seth Curry just because he was a free agent and I felt I could use him on my team (he would definitely change the pace up between Marshall and Barea and can also play the 2).

I actually lost my first game due to an Affalo 3 ball and an ill-advised shot to tie the game (not to mention Rubio's 22 points and to think I traded him away). Adjusting the rotations is key and not counting on the CPU subs, who at one point subbed in Lopez at shooting guard (yea, had to quickly go to manual subs after that one). The manual settings are quite fun because you get to practice your coaching skills (specially if you use the 'Total Control Simulation' setting when you dont want to play any games).
Starting 0-1 on a last second shot isnt bad. I know what adjustments to make but ill probably play a few more games before I decided to make any changes. Maybe Ill upload a game or two.
