Ok, Now that basketball is coming back, I'm finally sinking time into NBA 2k12. I've done 12 of the 15 legends to unlock to unlock teams and I only have 3 more games to play to unlock the rest and should be completed tonight.

I started sitting down looking closer when I look at rosters online and I can trade or assign players to a team even if they are on the old time squad. So my plan for this year's association is to update and make my best teams I can make.

These are the adds I am planning on making to every team based on the overall skill level on the team at that time was over 70 and that they would have a better overall ranking then other players on that team. The cutline is the highest ranking player on the team that doesn't stay on the 15 man roster. The Lakers 12 man roster will not have a single player below a rank of 80. Only the Celtics can say the same. Lakers are also the only team with 4 players with a ranking over 90, The 76ers, Bucks, Bulls, Thunder, Warriors have 3 players over 90.

The Sixers/Celtics/Knicks/Lakers seem to have the most additions. It should be interesting to see how the teams work together.

The most interesting things is with some teams centers. Sixers have 2 Centers ranked 94 and a PF ranked 94, do I have a Center play PF and have the PF play Small forward??? I better win on the glass.

Magic will have simular issues at Center with O'Neal and Howard. I wonder if the teams will try to make a blockbuster trade?

Also there should be some nice players available as free agents and how will each teams salary caps look like?
