Arkansas-Pine Bluff
Columbia
Norfolk St
Southern
Navy
Western Illinois
Maryland-Baltimore County
Dartmouth
Alcorn St
VMI
Grambling
Radford
Sacred Heart
New Hampshire
Mt. St. Mary's
High Point
Louisiana-Monroe
Portland St
Alabama St
Cornell
Chicago St
Centenary
Texas Southern
Long Island
Stony Brook
Robert Morris
Southeast Missouri St
Charleston Southern
Colgate
Coppin St.

Robert Morris is tempting, but I might just have to run with the North Florida Ospreys.

[Wufpack]

My first legacy last year was Navy, so I was thinking about kicking it off with Army this year. Kennesaw State though just sounds like a shitty team and when you hear that type of name you know you want to make them a powerhouse.

I'm also considering Coppin State, High Point, Sacred Heart, and Navy again for giggles.

[Papa LoneStar]

I thought I seen that Prairie View A&M was an option, too. Coach Papa LoneStar will begin his hall of fame career with the Tigers of Texas Southern. :D

[JoJoRunyan]

Im first gonna have to make my Open Legacy as Boise State, since they are the local team.

But If I do decide to make a closed Legacy, It would have to be... Alabama St.

What's the difference between open and closed?

[Rutgers Mike]

What's the difference between open and closed?

Open, you can use any team you want. Closed you have to work your way up from the bottom.

[Chase56]

What's the difference between open and closed?

Open, I don't think you're ever fired or can ever leave a team. Closed, you work your way up and get teams to offer you and what not.

Closed is the way to go.

[FearTheTurtle]

I went to Robert Morris, so I'll be starting with them

[Papa LoneStar]

Closed is the way to go.

True, except you can leave a program and take over any one that you want in the open option.

[BigShan05]

True, except you can leave a program and take over any one that you want in the open option.
can you do that for sure though? last year i dont think you could switch a team in the open option, which sucked. Unless it was there all along and i missed it lol? anyways is that confirmed this year that you can switch to any team in the open option?

[Mr. Option]

Where any of those teams even close to being good. But if i had to take one to stardom i would choose...High Point

[CJ_24]

i'm in open, and i'm The U. can't pass up bringing home an NC with Hite, Diaz, Harris and King

[NCHORN]

open, and I gotta go with my favs Texas and Stanford of course

[TrojanMan]

WTF? USC isn't an option? I know for a fact that the Trojans could lose to half of those teams. :D


[down]

[OCCoug]

At least they were able to beat Alaska Anchorage by a point :)

[TexasAggie2323]

I am not sure who I am going to start with. I need to see who each team has before I pick. I like to start a team with a lot of upperclassman so I can get recruits that will fit my style pretty early.

[LikeWhoa20]

I will probably run one with Indiana. I'll also look around to try and find a program with some good young guards that I can build up into a powerhouse (I used Iowa State last year).

[Wufpack]

I think I'm gonna with Sacred Heart. ONLY A WEEK!!! (pending it wont get delayed again)

[TrojanMan]

At least they were able to beat Alaska Anchorage by a point :)

Considering how bad it's been the past 3 seasons, I'd take a win over a high school and be happy. [down]

[Soonerfan09]

I'm thinking SE Missouri State or Chicago State right now, but that will probably change once I see the rosters.

[White Chocolate]

Chicago St is fun. I've enjoyed playing with them.

[volniac]

I've got one going on with Columbia, right now. The players can actually hit a shot (as opposed to the High Point players). I'm undefeated at 5-0, but have only played teams of the same caliber. I'm going to get trounced when I have a bad shooting night against better teams.

[Papa LoneStar]

I thought I seen that Prairie View A&M was an option, too. Coach Papa LoneStar will begin his hall of fame career with the Tigers of Texas Southern. :D

Ok......I lied...........I have started my legendary career with Long Island :D

[volniac]

Ok......I lied...........I have started my legendary career with Long Island :D

I think that's the team I went to OT with a couple nights ago. I had to hit a three with less than 10 seconds in regulation to send it to OT. Then I was down by 1 with 5 seconds left in OT and my center drove the lane for a layup for the game winner. :)

[J Hall]

I'll probably roll with Kentucky (since that's my team) for awhile, then start over with one of the weaker teams and see if I can move up. I never really like switching around schools that much. I like to try and take the lowest teams and build them into powerhouses, then, maybe I'll go somewhere else.

[carolinalax23]

Is this game worth getting? Right now I'm just messing around with March Madness 05.

.......it depends on which style you like.

[canes_fan]

I'm going to get CH, and probably use Xavier.

[Wufpack]

I'm using Sacred Heart. I'm 2-7 (0-1).

Update: I'm now 4-8 (2-1)

[TexasAggie2323]

I started with Cornell. I ended up going 18-10 my first season (no tournament bid) simming most of my games but also playing a few.

[J Hall]

I can't stand simulating games in my season. I don't feel like I have any control over the outcome or direction of my team. Though, when I start up my new career with one of these shitty schools, I'll probably sim the first year so I can play with my 1st set of recruits.

I choose to just suffer through the first year. I like playing all my games. I also like getting attached to my players, knowing them better, I can properly execute with them and and I'm starting to win some games.

same here. only problem i have is with a team i don't know much about. if i use kentucky or louisville, i know how to use certain players. when i use, say, alcorn state, i don't know shit about em. that's what gets me

[penn_state_xc]

My dynasties would take forever (I play 12-minute halves) if I didn't sim most of my games.

[TexasAggie2323]

My problem was that I wanted to get Texas A&M but I wanted it to be in career mode. I ended up finally getting A&M in 2013 when A&M's HC retired.
Now that I am with a team that I like I will play a larger portion of the games.
I really havent had a problem playing after simming a bunch because most of my offense is a good trapping defense.

What do you use for your trapping defense? I've always built my program as a deep, quick team of shooters that plays that 40 minutes of hell style. But so far in this game I'm not having much luck with my trusty 2-2-1 press. I'm also having more trouble jumping into passing lanes to deflect passes since the game moves quicker in 2k6 than it did in 2k5.

[keyser soze]

I am playing my dynasty with the Dukies. While I hope to have a very good year this year, next year could prove challenging with my top 4 scorers all being seniors. It will all depend on how well freshmen can step up and play. If they are anything like Dukes group of freshmen this year I will be in serious trouble in the ACC.

Recruiting with Duke is a BLAST!!! I love coach K, their uniforms and their gym. I am not a huge college basketball fan but I do really enjoy the Dukies.

Do you guys cut players that play there in real life if they suck in the game? I cut McClure this year because even though his rating is good, he just sucks. At least with my playing style and settings, he is worthless to me. The guy can't finish strong, doesn't rebound well and can't hit a jumper. Paulus will be a long shot to make the team next year if I can sign one more solid recruit. That little white guard can't dunk, can't shoot and is tiny. Other than being a solid passer (which most are) he doesn't have a lot of value add.

[Keith1212]

Since I got the rosters I decided to start my legacy with Mount St. Mary. They have a decent shooting guard who plays point and a small forward who can shoot so hopefully I can win some games.

This isn't realistic. Not that you're playing with Duke; that's fine, it's fun to play with a powerhouse. No, I'm talking about cutting players that are already there. This is something all schools have to deal with. You sign a recruit that is a bust or doesn't pan out, but you still have to keep him through the rest of his career. Your only out with that player is if he transfers because he's upset with his lack of playing time. But don't go and cut him outright just so you can restock.

Well couldn't I just pretend that I am the new coach and that I strongly "encouraged" him to transfer the hell out of Duke so I could replace him with a 6'5" stud that can jump out of the gym? This stuff happens all the time... hey kid, you are a great player but you don't fit into my system.... you might want to leave if you ever want to play basketball again... but the choice is yours ;)

I guess you could, but I think it's easy enough as it is to build up a program. So why do you want to make it even easier by cutting anyone that doesn't fit the makeup of your team?

[keyser soze]

Because I want guys that fit my play style. I agree, that anyone that I recruit I am stuck with. I only have the option of parking him on the end of the bench in hopes that he leaves.

Hey, they have that meet with player feature this year... can you meet with him and talk him into tranfering to a different school?

[J Hall]

hey, you bought the game, i say do whatever brings you the most enjoyment. in real life, that'd be some shady shit to do to a kid, you offer him a scholarship, then he doesn't turn out like you hoped, then you get rid of him, but whatever, this isn't real, so do your thing

Well yeah, if you did this in real life you would get a horrible reputation and lose recruits in the future. But since cutting kids doesn't effect your coaching charisma, there is no reprocussions of it.

No, but you can use that to your advantage. You meet with players so that you can boost their confidence about their lack of playing time. So in your case, simply don't meet with those players that you want to transfer and maybe if they get upset enough, they'll leave at the end of the season.

Like J Hall said, I'm not judging anyone for what they do with their game. You paid for it, do whatever you like. But for me, I'd rather let the player finish out his 4 years (there's no way I'd redshirt a kid that I want out of my program asap) and graduate than simply cut him.

[Wufpack]

I'm playing with Sacred Heart, whose in the same conference as MSM, and their shooters lit me up like crazy. I couldn't keep up, lost by 23.

[J Hall]

I'm rolling with Stony Brook. They'e so weak in the inside (biggest guy is 6'8'' but he only weighs 211 lbs) but have good guard play (have 5 guys that can rotate in the top two guard spots) so there's enough to start with. 1st game of the year I lost to Villanova by about 5 then followed that up with a blowout win over Leigh. Next is Columbia, then the signing period starts. I've got 5 scolies out, hopefully I'll ink someone.

[Hachiko]

I'll take Portland State. J.R. Salazar at age 25 begins his career in Portland.[cool]

[LikeWhoa20]

Just started my legacy with Indiana. I have no clue how long I will stay with this one. One question: For anyone else who has played Duke in their first year, does J.J. Redick light it up against you? Because in my game, he went 3 of 24 from the field. I want to say it was just an off night for him, but it seems a little odd that he was THAT off.

Well I am playing with Duke and yeah, he can be that off for me... this game seems a little over streaky in shooting percentages each game. Redick has shot as low as 9% and as high as 65% for me... seldom does he shoot 35%

[jgully]

Can't remember if it was someone on this board or on another board that turned off the "Clutch" option and he reported that the overly streaky shooting was toned down a lot. I haven't tested this out however.

They talked about the "Clutch" issue a lot over at OS. For me personally, hot/cold streaks and runs are a major part of the college game, so I have always kept it on.

[J Hall]

I hate to leave clutch factor on, because to me, it's like asking the computer to cheat. You get up 8 and they start to hit 3's with hands all in their faces, you miss wide open layups. That stuff is annoying. On the flip side, I've left clutch factor on for my legacy with Stony Brook and been happy with it. Games have been interesting, so that's good.

[keyser soze]

I turned clutch factor off and it doesn't seem to make any difference. I still go on massive streaks but instead of them coming and going for a game they seem to last the whole damn game. There is nothing better than when Redick is white hot but there is nothing worse when he is butt-cold. By the second half of every game the CPU is double teaming Sheldon so if someone can't step up outside I am usually in trouble.

[C Money]

When I get CH for Christmas im going to be Xavier.

QUESTION: Papa Lone Star I beleive earlier said that in Open Legacy you can leave your team and "sign" elsewhere if you want. Is this true? Because last year you couldn't(at least I didnt think) and it sucked, Im hoping you can this year so maybe someone can answer that for me?

[boxboy99]

I still rolling on CH 2k5. Still playing and no desire to switch. I started with Albany. Made the tournament the first season but was killed by 30 against Notre Dame. I am in season 5 now, and havn't had a tourney bid since. After my second year at Albany I moved up to Tulsa. Was a middle of the road WAC team for first 2 years, but Nevada and Fresno St who were the class of the WAC got hit hard with graduation. I just picked up my first 5 star recruit a JUCO transfer from Tulsa, but I have an awesome Jr, Center who maybe my first NBA prospect and a 3 point shooter that I have lacked the last 2 seasons. I am 6-1 right now, with a lossed to Arizonia (8) in a preseason tournament.

My ultimate goals are to go to Toledo where I graduated, or Ohio St.

Edit: 18-2 now, even beat Oklahoma, and then moved up the difficulty. Lost the first game on the next level by a small margin and then won like 7 in a row after that game. Including a win on a buzzer beater 3 pt shot, and a 8 pt come back in the last minute and a half. I finally cracked the top 25!

[TexasAggie2323]

I finished my first legacy simming most of the games. I ended up with 830 wins (not sure how many loses). Most of my time was spent with Columbia (started with them), Some team I do not remember, Oklahoma State, then finally finished out with Texas A&M. I only won 4 NCAA championships in 40 years but I simmed most of my games and didnt set up my lineups each season (just recruited and simed)
I am about to start another legacy and play all the games. I think I am going to start with Grambling because they have a sweet shooter and they have 8 open scholarships after the first year (means a big upgrade in talent).

Sorry I just saw this

I run a halfcourt trap (after basket) with a 2-3 matchup zone. I set all of my players to "tight defense" and only double team in the corners or the PF/C in the paint. I do not like the full-court traps because they seem to be easy to break and do not allow your defense time to get back.
I usually control the player on the ball and call the double team and then the computer jumps the lanes. So I do not really know about jumping the passing lanes controlling a defender.

I have only did a couple "open" legacies that were simulated.........and since the first one (T.J. Ford on the cover), they would always ask you if you wanted to go to another team at the end of the season.

I tried the halfcourt trap but it didn't work too well for me. Then again, I didn't use your method, so I'll have to try that some time.

I run a 2-2-1 press back into a 1-3-1 zone. You're right in that it can be broken most of the time, but it's good for 5-10 steals a game and makes the pace of the game quicker, which is what I want. I control the weakside guy on the 2nd line so that I can cover the passing lanes down the court and make the cpu reverse the ball a couple times before they can get across halfcourt.

As for jumping the lanes, I've improved a lot at this but it's much more difficult and more risky than in past years' games, which is a plus. You have to move the rip stick before the ball ever leaves the player's hands, which is very realistic to how you'd jump a passing lane in real life.

I want to keep playing my Stony Brook legacy because I'm having a ball with them, but the fear of not being able to advance to the next year is making me not want to play. I dunno, hopefully when I get to the end I'll be able to get past the bug and go to year 2

Just do what a couple of those guys at OS said J_Hall. Keep trying to simulate through and if it freezes, then restart your ps2 and try again. By 10 tries it has to go through. Just think of it like you're playing NCAA '06 and you really want to be invited to another conference and you won't take no for an answer, so you keep restarting the dynasty over and over until you get that invitation lol. Don't let this one flaw hold you back from enjoying your legacy.

Wow, this better not be a show stopper or I will be through with the game for a long while. I only have 2 more regular season games left with the Dukies then onto the post season. I play on Xbox and some people above have had problems with that platform as well. It really does surprise me that there are this big of bugs in such profitable software. I would think that companies that make this big of $$$ on these games could afford more beta testing.

Well I know this only occurs with EDITED rosters, like the ones J_Hall and I are using with every player's real name on there. And I also think it only happens with career legacies instead of open since it freezes when you try to sim through the job openings screen (which I don't think there is one in open legacies). So you shouldn't have anything to worry about soce.

Yea, I know, but the doubt is planted in my mind that at the end of my year I'll be stuck. I've since played about 3 games since I wrote that and still having fun. Sitting on 8-3 right now, with my only losses coming to Connecticut, St. John's, and Villanova. Pretty good if you ask me with Stony Brook.

Anyone have any tips on recruiting? Should I maybe wait until the end of the week (Sat. or Sun.) to do my e-mails? I've been doing everything on Monday and I've noticed at the end of the week, the progress I made was trumpted by the Computer's made during the week.

I always just do it on Monday. I don't think it makes much difference when you recruit as long as you just do it at some point each week. And I love the selection show as well.

Well, I decided to start a legacy with Mount St. Mary's.
So far, I'm 0-2, but they have a 64 or so ovr SF with 93 3-pt shooting.
Should be a fun season.

Yea I'm Mount Saint Mary's in my legacy and I'm having alot of fun with them. The SG who plays point is the best rated player on the team and is also a good shooter but the small forward will probably be your best offensive player. The small forward who plays PF is a beast inside too even though he's undersized at 6-7 205 lbs.

Next year for me is going to be bad though. All 3 of the best players on the squad graduate and the back ups are not that good at all. Recruiting wise, my best recruit is a 3 star small forward who I have at 86%. I have a 2 star SG who's at 100% and another 2 star PF who's at 80% but if I don't get that 3* at the end of the season I'm in trouble because the other 2 recruits are probably going to be garbage until their senior season while the 3 star recruit(judging his preliminary ratings and his size) should be able to contribute immediately.

Edit: I forgot to mention that so far I'm 7-4.

I'm in a similar situation to you guys. Using Stony Brook and I'm going to lose my top scorer to graduation, as well as my starting point guard. Luckily some of my backups are good and should serve me well next year.

Recruiting wise, I've been going for size since my tallest player is 6'9'' 190 lbs. Got him playing center though he's built more like a small forward. I have 5 scholies to hand out, so far I've offered 4. Going after a 3-star center that's 6'11'' which will help out a lot. I'm close with him (78%). Going after a 2-star center at 6'10 and I'm at 80%. I'm pretty sure I'll get him. A 6-10 small forward that I've been recruiting since the firstday you could. Got his interest at 85%. I'm excited for him. Rating wise, I don't think he's going to be THAT good, but at 6'10, I can't pass that up. Lastly, I got this 2-star power forward I'm going after. Got his interest at 78%. So hopefully I can snag these 4 and still be able to use my last on someone decent.

Of course, if I can never get past the coaching changes screen, this may be all for naught

Holy POOP, I posted this on the other forum but I will include it here as well. There seems to be a bug that makes the game think that your open legacy is closed at some point in the season. I don't know what causes this or how to stop it. All I know is that at the end of the season you get coaching attribute points and if you are using a team like Duke, it is a legacy killer. You will get more points then you have spots open too allot them and the game will NOT allow you to go on without placing all the points......

So, my first every legacy with Duke that I was loving... is OVER!!! This game just went from an A+ in my book to like a C-. I mean come on... how many different glitches are there that can kill a legacy and 30 hours of my time down the damn toilet? There is NO WAY around this thus far and i have tried just about everything.

I think this happened in one of the past years' versions as well because I know I've heard this before. It sucks that it's in this year's game. But even in career mode you can max out all your points and still keep going til the very end of the legacy. I know Aggie2323 simmed through a whole dynasty already on '06.

Thank God, I finally got past the Coaching Changes screen. I can hardly believe it. Now that I know I can I'ma finish my season. I think I have about 10 games to go, so hopefully this is a good sign.

Just bought this game today and started a legacy w/ Colgate. I just played the intrasquad scrimmage and was lighting it up from downtown with this one white dude whos like 82 in 3PT shooting, he had 34 pts for me. The big men for Colgate could use some work though. I am also slowly getting used to the "strip and rip" and "dunking stick" methods. I dont see where everyone is bitching about free throws, all you gotta do is hold back the stick and release just when the shooter lets go of the ball. It's just like last year's edition in terms of that.

Anyway, I really am enjoying this game thus far, and would certainly be up for an online game against any fellow XBoxers on Utopia sometime since I hear that kicks ass too.

[keyser soze]

Okay, found the trigger that makes open legacy go to a "closed legacy" and fuck everything up. If you load settings while in legacy mode, you are FOCKED. So manually change shit if you have to. Pretty lame but that is it.

[penn_state_xc]

I played my first online game earlier today with Maryland, I was matched up against Manhattan. The guy gave me a run for my money and was ahead by one point at halftime but in the second half Maryland played like Maryland and I obliterated him by about 20.

Question for those who have played online, is it possible to talk over the headset during games? I never noticed any such option for doing so.

So basically you're saying dont save the settings IF you change them?

I am saying once you start a legacy do NOT change anything in the legacy except by hand. Do not "import" settings into your legacy... change by hand.

[LikeWhoa20]

What's he's saying is when you're in legacy, do NOT then go and load any settings while you're in that legacy. If you want to change the settings, go do it manually and then just save your legacy afterward in order to keep those new settings.

I'm laughing because I just finished my second year with Stony Brook. the punchline is that I got to the NCAA championship game as a 6 seed. I won my 1st round game easily (against Utah). The 3 seed (Louisville) was upset by Delaware St. who I beat easily. Sweet-16 I draw George Mason (a 10 seed I believe). Beat them, meeting Florida State in the Elite-8. My first "real" game in the tourney. I manage to get by the Seminoles, facing Kansas in the Final Four. Somehow manage to get by them, meeting Texas in the championship. They blew me out, but it's ok, I got the the title game! with Stony Brook! lol

I know it's messed up and I'm mad that I've been handling teams like this, but what can I do? I'm using jistic's newest sliders and my best player is only a 75 overal (entering year 3). I guess I'm too good for my own good.

You could give my sliders a try. I have them posted here under Aggie sliders. Also I have them at Operation Sports unders "Squid's 99% MOP sliders".

I have two sets. Version 1 provides a good game and is entertaining and a good transition to Version 2.

You can also jump straight to Version 2. Version 2 will give you a jolt of reality so to speak :D ;)

If you do use either version let me know if you like them, if you can.

Either version will be much more challenging than Jistics.

I recommend using Drive cam with these sliders as you'll get the best experience in my opinion. But these sliders will work the same in any camera view. I just like Drive cam the best. :D

[EAaggies]

I had my best team at Colgate after four years. I made it to the elite eight with them. Oklahoma was too much though.

Anyhow I left to join AirForce, their conference rank is #9 and considered "Major". It was tough to leave such a talented squad behind after such a great year. But I needed a tougher conference to play in, the Patriot League was just too weak with my talented 80 overall squad.

Oh well its time to build up AirForce and see what I can do with them. I like closed legacy because you can get fired and you have to earn your "jobs".

I still hope to get in the power conferences like the SEC, Big-12, ACC or Big East, but maybe another season. For now its Air Force!

Have any of you other split for other teams and was it a bit tough?

[J Hall]

After my second year at Stony Brook in which I went to the championship game, the best offer I got was from Boise State. I contemplated leaving, but the Seawolves are too fun to use right now. I've got a 3-star center, 3-star sg, 4-star sf and possibly a 5-star pg (the #4 pg) coming next year so I really don't plan on leaving anytime soon.

The only way I envision myself leaving Stony Brook is if Kentucky, Louisville, or Western Kentucky offer me a job. Those are the only 3 I would like to go to from where I'm at now.

It's hard when you get accustomed to one school to jump ship. The players you recruited and everything....you have to start brand new somewhere else.

[Papa LoneStar]

I started off at Texas Southern.......coached for 2 seasons and now I'm a Miami Redhawk........I have been there for 2 seasons and I'm in the NCAA Tournament of my 3rd.........currently in the Regional Semi-final against 94 ovr Louisville with my 82 overall Redhawks........pretty much......it's over [down].........I'm not leaving until I can get the Texas job :D

[Wufpack]

I began with Sacred Heart/UC Davis, accidentally saved over it, then ran a sim legacy with Texas Southern/Penn, now I'm starting over with a new legacy with Charleston Southern, in which i'm 1-2.

[ntmeangreen11]

I just rented the game. I started with Southern Texas.

Im in my third year.

12-19
6-22
22-9?(1st round drubbing at the hands of UNC)

Ive had a terrible time recruiting, I got one 3-star PF who led my team in scoring this year, but I have trouble just landing 2 Stars.

[Papa LoneStar]

........I'm not leaving until I can get the Texas job :D

Ok......I lied! :D

I left Miami (OH) after 4 seasons while ending my stint there by taking an 87 ranked team to a 34-0 national championship (i was very lucky......the highest ranked team i played was 88 ovr in the elite 8......the final four was an 85, then an 83 ovr squad for the title [laugh]).

I went to Texas Tech and was very successful. My first 2 seasons were ended in the elite 8 while the latter was ended by fellow Big 12 representative Oklahoma State (whom I swept during the season and beat in the Big 12 Semis.....4th time wasn't the charm........8 Big 12 teams made the NCAAs........5 made the Sweet 16.....while the other 3 lost to Big 12 opponents in the 2nd round).

Then, I won 2 straight national titles (29-4 and 34-0, respectively) to end my career at Texas Tech (it was easier to go through the NCAAs than the tough Big 12 conference, in which there were as many as 7 of 12 teams rated 87 ovr or better on a yearly basis [wow]).

Roy Williams of UNC retired so I decided to re-live my bandwagoning childhood as an ex-UNC fan and coach the Tar Heels. I am still waiting on Rick Barnes to hang up his whistle, because he sure as hell is not getting fired (top 10 every year it seems).

My first year in Chapel Hill was another undefeated season (35-0) with the only team coming within 10 points of me was all 3 games against Duke.

In my second year, I am 13-0 (ranked #2 in the nation) and look to win my 4th straight national title (5th overall, 2nd with UNC).

....still waiting on that Texas job to open up. :D

At 32 years old (I adjusted the age to match my real age as it would be in if I was really coaching in 2015-16 in real life), I am rated a grade of A as a coach.

Charisma - A+ (the key to my success was adding to this every year to bring in the kind of talent that I needed to be successful)

Offense - A

Defense - A

Teaching - A+

Discipline - A+

Scouting - C+ (I let my trustly assistants handle this chore :D)

I recently finished my 3rd season at Stony Brook and I'm really starting to enjoy things. I went 27-4, won my conference regular and tournament championships easily (only lost 1 conference game) and then proceeded to lose in the first round of the tournament. I forget to who right now, but I'm pretty sure I was a 9 seed. I thought I'd have a higher ranking, but oh well.

I managed to sign a 4 star shooting guard, a 3 star small forward, 3 star center and a 4 star point guard (got him late as the other 2 point guards I was chasing committed elsewhere). After losing my top 4 OVR players to graduation I definitely needed some help with my new recruits. It's really cool to see your newly recruited players making an impact and doing well. After this year I'll have nothing but players I recruited on my team, so that'll be really fun.

Right now I'm 9-4 with some pretty big wins over Florida State, W. Virginia, Depaul, Illinois, Georgia Tech, and I beat Wake Forest, who was #1 at the time, by 11. I was up as many as 17 or so but they came back. Luckily I held onto the lead and stole it from them. After that I'm not ranked which boggles my mind, but whatever...

Recruiting for next year, I signed a 5 star small forward who's the #15 sf in the nation. I'm excited about him. I was neck in neck with the #1 player overall but he ended up signing with Villanova...ah well...I'm in the running right now for 2 4-star point guards, and several other 3-4 star players. Things are definetly turning around for the Seawolves.

[LikeWhoa20]

I just finished my first season with Columbia (70 OVR). We went 20-6 (13-1) against a very easy schedule. The highlight was upsetting #4 seed UAB in the 1st Round of the Dance. I will probably stay at Columbia for 2 or 3 more years before moving on to a mid-major that faces tougher in-conference play.

[J Hall]

I'd like to go somewhere else that has tougher conference opponents, but I've built Stony Brook into such a good team that it's hard to leave the players I recruited....I dunno, unless I can get a job at Kentucky, Louisville or Western Kentucky, I can't see myself leaving.

I definitely understand being partial to the guys you've recruited, but I usually end up quitting the legacy when I stay too long in an inferior conference that I can dominate. Plus, after a year or two, you'll have all new recruits in your new program as well.

[J Hall]

True, but I play every game. Now is the time where my first recruits are hitting their stride and they're starting to click with the newer guys. I've just finished my 3rd (I think) conference game of year 4 and I'm kicking ass. I haven't even had a game end in single digits. I'm just afraid to leave for somewhere else, then the next year the job I want opens up and I can't get in. That'd suck.

[J Hall]

This game rocks btw. I wish NCAA Football held my interest like this....

[joelklat4heisman]

just started one yesterday with se missouri st.

i only play 5 min halfs so i can get through seasons quicker, im having a lot of fun playing as them right now, 8-4(6-2) coming off an upset OT win over Murray State, i hit a 3 at the buzzer to send it to OT then won by 8, in an earlier game the same guy hit a 3 at the buzzer that bounced 4 times on the rim to send it to OT, he's clutch.

Recruiting is tough, I'm close to landing a 3* SF a 3* C and a JC 2*PG but I'm behind 2 teams on the SF's list

[down] This happened to me.

I starting simulating while at UNC and lost in the title game.........i was pissed so I left UNC and went to UT-Arlington to coach the other Mavericks in the area.

After my first year simulating with them (19-10, Southland Champs, NCAA 1st round) guess who decides to retire? Rick Barnes.........and now a 57 year old B+ coach (I'm currently an A+ with everything on A+ but a B- Scouting grade) gets to take over all that talent that Ricky Barnes left. It's impossible for him to be fired with that talent he has inherited.

It has made me so angry........I have actually thought about tanking this legacy due to my stupidity of not waiting one more season to take over the great Univesity of Texas [down]

Words of wisdom.......wait for your dream job.......patience......patience.......patience... ....or you could be very disappointed.

[LikeWhoa20]

I've noticed though that job openings vary if you don't save the coaching changes and then restart the offseason. For instance, one of my friends wanted to take the Ohio State job, but the game froze on him. So he restarted the legacy, got to the coaching changes screen, and Ohio State no longer had an open position. So next time, re-load your legacy and pray that your dream job is open so that you'll be able to snatch it the next time it opens up.

[J Hall]

Ahhh...good thinkin...

[Wufpack]

the coolest game I played in was back in my Sacred Heart dynasty I hit a three at the buzzer in OT to win it. I'm currently in my 2nd year in Charleston Southern dynasty...I'm probably gonna move on after this year.

[penn_state_xc]

I'm currently in my 2nd season with San Diego, trying to get them to the tournament after going 21-9 last year with no bid despite a 10-4 record in the WCC. I got a kickass recruiting class after my first year as coach, one 5-star PF and four 4-star kids, they are a big help.

[Wufpack]

Finished 2nd in my conference and won the conference tournament to make 2 straight NCAA bids at Char So, and I upset 3rd seeded UNLV (yeah, weird) in the first round in overtime, barely surviving their second half rally. Got crushed by Duke, who eventually won it all.

Decided to stay at Char So and now 3-3 with losses to Clemson, Kentucky, and LSU, both Clemson and Kentucky are in the Top 15, LSU is very good as well.

I'm taking advantage of my oppurtunities by recruiting the 3, 4 and 5 stars out of different countries. It's kind of hard with out visiting them or scouting their games, Hopefully I'll win them over.

[J Hall]

Just finished up year 4 of my Stony Brook season and finished 30-5 (I think it was 5...5 or 6) in the Elite 8. Got a 3 seed after my good year and was lucky enough to thump my 1st rnd. opponent. Fairfield upset whoever it was they played so I got 2 easier teams to face in the 1st 2 rounds. Next was 2 seed Michigan State. My guys played about as good as I could have hoped and I won by 13 or so. Now in the Elite 8, facing #1 seed Arizona, I went ahead and simulated as I didn't want to go to the Final Four yet.

So Kentucky ends up winning the championship (which makes me happy) and it's onto recruiting. I only lost 3 players that didn't play that much so everything is good. Returning all 5 starters and basically my top 7-8 players in total. I signed a 4-star small forward (Jimmy Cowen) and inked a 4-star 5'8'' point guard (Dee Bain) that both help out with things. Cowen is a beast. 6'8'', speed around 85 and he's 3pt is around 75. He can do it all for me. I'm redshirting Bain as I have 2 other point guards (1 a JR. the other a SO) and want that extra year or eligibility.

Just played my first game of the year in the Pre-Season NIT. Went up against Wake Forest and beat em by 15 or so. With my top players only being Freshman and Sophmores, there's no telling how good Stony Brook can be. I have a really tough out of conference schedule (since my conf. sucks) so that should give me a good idea of where I stand.

I've got 3 4-star players at 100% I'm trying to sign for that signing week in-season. If I get them, watch out! The Seawolves will be comin for you ;)

[Soonerfan09]

Well, I'm officially bored with legacy mode. I still play a couple exhibitions a day if I have the time, but I'm just not feeling legacy mode anymore. Now head to head against a friend, that's a different story.

[RollBama1237]

I started up with TCU; they're overrated in this game and the conference is no good so I made it to the 1st round as a #6 seed and got upset by #11 Stanford.

2nd year, get a #5 seed after winning the reg season and conference title, beat the #12 and #4 and get CRUSHED by #1 NC State...I think it was 92-61?

Trying to recruit somebody worth a shit this year...seems like I can only land 3* guys which sucks.

I tanked that legacy. I was very disappointed in myself that I missed out on that Texas job due to my impatience at UNC (taking that damn UT-Arlington job) [down]

I have started a new one, in which I created a Fab 5 (5 84 ovr freshmen) for UL-Monroe..........simulated the first 2 seasons (After how long I played my last one.......I couldn't see myself playing my tenure with my first team.....please forgive me :D )

The first 2 (cheating) simulated seasons took me to 34-1 and 28-4 seasons (after the 2nd season.....all 5 of the prestigious Fab 5 went to the League so I left too), respectively, in which I am now the coach of the Miami (OH) Redhawks.....again *starting off on the right track* :D

I am currently 1-0 (76 ovr Redhawks over 72 ovr.....damn.....i played it yesterday and forgot the team's name) and will face Kentucky (86 ovr) in the 2nd round of the Guardians Classic (Rupp Arena) next.

I'm preparing to be handled against the UK Wildcats [down]

[Wufpack]

Now about to gear up Year 4 in my Char So legacy. I haven't any tempting offers despite going to the NCAAs 3 straight years. Of course I made the tourney finishing 6th, 2nd, and 4th in the Big South. If I can get this team to have a good regular season and maybe a win or two in the NCAA's. I can get a A-10 or C-USA job. I would actually like to coach ECU because its a NC team that has no history but not in too small of a conference and I can build them up to become part of Tobacco Road.

[Soonerfan09]

A few days after I said this, I started a dynasty with West Virginia, and that was probably the funnest season I've played in a long time. I went somewhere around 20-11 and lost to Villanova in the semifinal of the Big East tournament.
In the field of 64, I got a 2 seed (high rpi) and beat St. Francis by 20 in the first round. (not sure if it was PA, or NY, but they were the Terriers.) I played the winner of George Mason and Colorado. I got George Mason. With about 10 seconds left, and the game tied, Pittsnoggle hits a 3.
We advance to the next round where we play the winner of Cinncinatti and Wake Forest. The 11th seeded Demon Deacons won, so that's who we played. They beat us by 3. They also went on to win the National Championship.
There was a couple wierd things in the tournament though. 3 games featured teams from the same conference. Louisville v.s Georgetown, Ok State v.s Texas A&M, and UTEP v.s Houston. Also, the 16th seeded Cornell Big Red upset the 1 seed Villanova Wildcats.

I've already started my second season, and we're off to a rough 0-2 start. But after losing 4 started to graduation, I can see how that happened.
I signed 2 5 stars, 4 4 stars, and 2 3 atars, and none were over a 72 overall.

But yeah, I'm not bored with this game anymore.

[Chase56]

I'm gonna sim 2 years and latch on to a MVC team.

[penn_state_xc]

I'm currently in my 3rd year with San Diego and am 5-1 at the moment. My starting lineup consists of 4 sophs and a frosh but they are talented as hell. I've already clobbered Kansas on the road by double figures and have simmed a few games against cupcake opponents. My only loss was at Washington to open the season. Hopefully, I can get back to the Big Dance this year and finally win a game, I am 0-3 lifetime in the tournamnet (Includes 2 appearances with my first team, Colgate). I like where I am right now and will only leave if some prestigious program has a vacancy (Syracuse, Cincy, Michigan, UCLA, UConn, Maryland, etc.). It has been a few weeks since I last fired up CH2k6 and with real-life March Madness in full swing I am itching to get back into my legacy.

I simmed most of my 3rd year at San Diego today and went straight to the NCAA selection show. I ended up winning the regular season WCC title but lost to Gonzaga in the conference title game. I finished 23-7 and landed a #4 seed in Chicago. I beat East Tenn. St soundly in the 1st round and then won in dramatic fashion against the #12 seed Miami(OH) in the 2nd round on a 3-point buzzer beater in OT. My next opponent is #8 Maryland who upset #1 LSU in the 2nd round. I'm sure I've got some offers from a major program coming my way, especially if I do the improbable and beat the Terps, they are a 92 overall and my team is only 82.

[Chase56]

Yeah, I had figured to sign there but I backed out. I ended up at Penn, can't turn down playing at the Palestra. What does suck is i'll still be in a Small conference. And Fran Dunphy left me as my Center, a 50 overall Freshman walk on. VERY tough times here in Philly.

Yeah, I'm at Columbia right now and I can definitely agree with you that playing in the Ivy League is VERY dull. I've gone 17-1 in the Ivy League over my first two years playing at the toughest difficulty I can come up with. I'm sure I'll be long gone out of here by the end of Year 3 or 4.

Let's do it, Charleston Southern.

[GatorTD8to10]

Centenary is a great team to run with if you run a guard-oriented offense. They are extremely young and their PG, SG, and backup PG can shoot the rock.

Im a 1/3 of the way through I believe. Centenary, to Southern Illinois, to Michigan State..Where i discovered my first problem.

YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO CHOOSE WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN ACCEPT A CONTRACT EXTENSION!

After my 3rd year of MSU, I told myself 'If Texas, Texas A&M, or Houston come open..Im taking them'. Goign back home, so to speak. Well MSU gives me a 3 year extension. Nice..especially considering..A&M is open! But of course, because they stamped my sig on a new contract, Im stuck in East Lansing.

Yeah, the only Ivy League school that may pose you any problems is Harvard.

Just finished my 2nd year at Columbia. Had trouble deciding on my rotation early on, so I struggled to a 7-4 start (with a big win over #10 Kansas) before going on a 16 game winning streak to end the regular season (thanks in large part to the shitty Ivy League comp). Got into the top 25 for the first time as well and earned a #6 seed in the Dance.

From there, I went on a cinderella run to the Elite 8 before losing to a stacked Maryland team. The best part, however, is that I return EVERYBODY for next season.

I'm too attached to this group, so I had to turn down offers from Ohio, Miami (OH), Evansville, Indiana State, and Central Michigan. All of those were schools that I would be greatly interested during another offseason, but I figure those types of offers will still be around in the next couple offseasons as well.

[Wufpack]

I have finished the out-of conference schedule of Year 4 at 1-7. I played a pretty brutal schedule, only one home game, 4 games against ACC teams. Currently have won both my conference games though so maybe I just need to build up a little confidence.

[westsidetide]

I'm using the Kennesaw State Owls, and man do they present some problems..

Number 1, they have no Centers, that's right zero, nada, nil....rebouding in year one was difficult and the highest rated player was the PG at 66. He can shoot the 3, but post play is difficult at best.

I'm in year 3 now, after going 7 - 19 in year one, then 17 - 11 in year two. I've finally recruited a decent center and PF (both 3 stars), and have begun to have success in conference. My team has improved to be a 70 overall, and I hope the win the Atlantic Sun berth to the Dance this year. It's been frustrating, but fun.

[J Hall]

I don't know why, but I started (and still using) with Stony Brook and went to the big dance my 1st year. I was using jistic's MOP realism sliders but I think it was before he made them a little harder...long story short I went to the Sweet 16 my first year with hardly any talent. I'm now on year 5 and I've built SB into a 80 OVR squad. My starting PG will likely go pro (JR now at 79 OVR with a bunch of weeks to go in the season; prolly will go up another 2 points), as well as a SG and 2 SF's that are really good.

[penn_state_xc]

Alright, so I got obliterated by #8 Maryland in the Sweet 16, 90-58. Duke went on to win the national title as a #11 seed. Coach K subsequently retired and I ended up being the top choice to replace him after Dan Dakich took the UConn job (which Fran Dunphy retired from). Naturally, I decided to accept the job at Duke and now I'm trying to get them to repeat as national champs in my first year there. My style of play though (flex offense, up-tempo, press after every basket) will be different from Coach K's motion offense and methodical style. We'll see how long I last.

[Chase56]

Yeah, the only Ivy League school that may pose you any problems is Harvard.

Just finished my 2nd year at Columbia. Had trouble deciding on my rotation early on, so I struggled to a 7-4 start (with a big win over #10 Kansas) before going on a 16 game winning streak to end the regular season (thanks in large part to the shitty Ivy League comp). Got into the top 25 for the first time as well and earned a #6 seed in the Dance.

Princeton was pretty damn tough, I was down 22-4 against them but managed to pull out a 10 point win. I led throughout both times I played Harvard. Oddly, Brown and us are going to battle it out for the conference.

I'm in the same situation as you, all of my players are all underclassmen. And my two best players are both freshman (3* players who come off the bench and can create on their own).

Oh yeah, I forgot about Princeton. The first time I faced them, I had to rally from a 20 point second half deficit for the come-from-behind victory. The key to making that comeback was switching to a 2-3 zone, which for some reason completely stumped the Princeton offense. Since then, I've exclusively used a 2-3 zone against Princeton and won each of the next 3 games by an average of 25-30 points. So try a 2-3 zone the next time against them and see if it works for you.

My latest Legacy is stopping after nearly 20 years, for a restart.

The Centenary Gents will once again be my squad. With afew changes of course. The Court lines will be changed to Red, a new Suspension-based backboard will be installed in the rafters, and the Centenary students section is now officially dubbed 'The Gentlemen's Club'

My goal is to take Centenary to the NCAA tournament, and secure a MAJOR conference job without leaving for another team.

Yeah, so far they have been fun to use. 3-0 so far, but I haven't played anyone any good yet, not that I will in the Ivy League. My last game went to O.T. before I pulled it out, and that team was no good at all (Long Island) If, and that seems like a big if, I make the Tourney I'll probably get killed in the first round.

You're definitely overrating the Ivy League. I'd say you have a great shot at winning the Ivy League outright in your 1st year.

[Hilbs]

Just started a legacy with LSU on CH2k6 and Glen "Big Baby" Davis, this game is pretty cool so far, I'm still adjusting though because I've only played MM before, and this is definitely a little different with the ball moves on the L-Stick, and the shot stick being the R-Stick.

[Chase56]

What school should I take over..

Duke
North Carolina
Kentucky
Oklahoma State
Syracuse
Oregon State
Iowa
Wisconsin

I really really want the Kansas job.

[J Hall]

Well, I would say UK because that's the team I want....I wish they'd wisen up on my legacy, Tubby would retire and they would hire me from Stony Brook. Then I could be set.

[bruinfan18]

Kentucky.

[bruinfan18]

Something very cool in my first year of my legacy with Charleston Southern. Connecticut and Villanova are #1 and 2 in the polls in February. Talk about realism. ;)

[Hilbs]

I just started a career legacy in CH2k6 with Western Illinois with EA Aggie's v. 2.1 sliders, which are fucking awesome. I'm playing on All-American but as my team gets better I'll move up the skill level.

There is so much to this game that I'm still figuring out, I played MM last year and it was nowhere near this game in terms of completness.

[cfrobel]

Im currently in the 13th year of my legacy; started out playing every game, then conf tourny games + NCAA tourny games, now just NCAA tourny games(unless I make it to the conf tourny title game ill play that); and its been a brutal run to finally end up at a power conference school.

I started at LIU for 6 years then got the St. Peters job, who just fired their coach and were a last place MAAC team. I got them to the final four in 4 years and landed the Syracuse job who had just fired the coach who replaced Boeheim. Of course Syracuse was also a last place team but now after 3 years I have them back in the NCAA tourny as a 5 seed and some solid classes coming in. My current hope is to get that first title by 2020.

[J Hall]

I'm about to finish my 5th year (playing every game) and have I think 3 games left of the regular season. Still at Stony Brook, I'm running through the America East Conference. I think I've only had one close game. Just to show you what I mean, I played a game this morning and was down by like 12 with around 3 minutes to go. I went on a run and tied the score at halftime. Entering the second half, UMBC (who I was playing) didn't score until 10 min left in the half (I play 16 min halves). I think they only ended up scoring 15-18 points in the second half. I was pouring it on to, how dare they think they can beat me! The nerve! :)

I've only lost 2 games this year and I'm sitting at #7 in the polls. Hope to continue my long winning streak into the conference tourney, win the championship there, go into the NCAA's with a good seed. Maybe this will be the year Stony Brook wins it all? Let's see.

And I'm still hoping for Tubby Smith to retire so I can take over UK. Or at least have a decent program open up that I want to take over. I see Syracuse and South Carolina open up in the next couple years (simulating ahead for shits and giggles) but niether of those do it for me.

[bruinfan18]

Awesome, J Hall. Keep us updated to see if Stony Brook cuts down the nets.

[Mr. Tennessee]

Tubby usually retires on my game in about 10 years into the legacy.

[J Hall]

10 huh? damn...I guess that gives me plenty of time to improve my abilities so I secure that spot (hopefully)

[boxboy99]

finally had to end my 2k5 legacy. after 6 season, 2 with albany and 4 with tulsa. got to the ncaa tourny three times, and had 3 losses. new legacy rolling on 2k6 360 with Costal Carolina, I think Im like 3 and 6 right now ouch.

Yeah, that's great. I somehow got to the Final 4 in my 2nd year at Penn (4th year overall). I was an 11 seed, beat a meh Oregon team. I ended up beating a 14 seed Denver and a 10 seed in Rutgers. I got a great draw with not such a great team. I ended up beating Arizona in the Regional Finals by a score of 100-94, a classic game. None of these teams pressed. Of course, I then got Louisville in the Finals, who pressed and I got beat by 30.

I think i'll take the Kentucky job.

Alright, I restarted my closed legacy with North Florida with some tips that Mr. Tennesse gave me on recruiting.

Ok, I found this hilarious. I just finished the first half of my 2nd to last game of the reg. season with Stony Brook. New Hampshire scored 4, I repeat, 4 points to end the half. They went 1/26 (4%) while I was 14/27 (52%). I don't know why, but this team sucks! lol

I need to get my team in another conference or at least get a new job. This is ridiculous.

max out the computer's success shot sliders and up the difficulty. :p

[J Hall]

I've got it on MOP using jistic's sliders. I'm actually thinking of maxing out the comp's def/off awareness so it's tougher.

But really, my team is around a 81 OVR. I think the next highest in my conference is around 70-71. So there's not much challenge.

Jistic's sliders are way too easy. Try using EAAggies' v2.1 sliders on this board. They're a definite step up in difficulty. I think you'll like the added challenge as well.

I used his awhile back and didn't like em. Both me and the comp were hitting everything....wasn't fun to me. Maybe I'll try a few practice games with them though.

Both sides may hit at a higher rate (can't remember since I haven't used Jistic's sliders in quite awhile; I just remember that I won by much more when I used his), but they should at least provide more of a challenge so that the game continues to hold your interest. From there, you can adjust the shooting sliders a little bit to your liking so that you have no further gripes about shooting percentages.

[GOVols]

MM sucks, but it's all I have at this point in time, I'm currently 14-11(8-6) with Rhode Island, in the A-10. My Sliders are working well, but I plan on buying CH2k6 very, very soon.

Just finished my 5th year of my Stony Brook legacy. After going 31-2 during the regular season, winning the regular and conference championship, I ended up with a 3 seed. Lower than I was thinking, since I ended up ranked 4th at the end of the year. Even Clark Kellogg agreed with me. We all know he knows it all.

Anyways, drew Belmont in the 1st round, beat them 89-47. Second is Wisconsin. This was a tough game as they had size that bothered me, but I got the win 65-58. 2nd seed Oklahoma State really tested me, but I outlasted by 4, 77-73. That was a really fun game. #1 seed Duke gave me everything I wanted and then some, but I managed to pull it out at the end, a won 69-62 thanks to some clutch free throws at the end. So now we're in the Final Four, I get Texas, a number one seed and they're fuckin good! Hitting everything, didn't matter if my hand was in their face or what. It was crazy. Some guy Osborn hit 4-5 from 3 which hurt. Their big guys kept my center from being effective which really hurt my offense. I managed to have a career game from my 6th man Jimmy Cowen (who could very well havebeen starting) with 27 points. If he wasn't hitting 3's and geting to the line I would have gotten killed.

But to make a long story longer, I lost 80-86 in one of the more fun games I've played since I've had the game. Makes me want to get right into the next year....I signed 3 4 star prospects in the early signing period at the beginning of the year. The 17th PF (80th OVR) and Mr. Basketball of R.I., the 24th SG (124th OVR), and the 25th C (185th OVR). So I'm looking good for the future. I lose my top scorer, rebounder, blocker, inside presence so I'll need these guys to step up big.

What I find funny is I'll go into next year not even ranked....you watch.

[J Hall]

yup, sure enough. no pre-season ranking for the Seawolves....no respect

I'm debating whether to play with Duke in an open one and sim the first season, and go from there. Could be difficult with the loss of Redick, Williams and Dock, but recruiting may be a little easy. Or do a closed one, and just sim away until I get to a somewhat respectable school.

You guys that are doing Closed Legacies, how often did/do you play the games of the early teams that you coach, before you get to any of the bigger programs?

I think it's evenly split between those that play a lot of their games starting out in closed legacies and those that sim a number of years until they get to a school they want to play at.

My advice for you is to start a closed legacy. The Duke legacy may be nice for about one year, but given how easy recruiting is, you'll lose interest way too quickly. You'll have a lot more vested interest in trying to make your way from a low-major to a mid-major to a high-major program.

I'd go the closed route Papi, it really helps you learn how to recruit and just the basics of managin your team.

I love how I'm still at Stony Brook. I've built them into a solid team year in and year out and it's really fun to do big things with them. I've played every game and I'm at the start fo my 6th year. I bet once you get past the 1st year and start playing with players you recruited, you'll have a lot of fun with a lower tier team. Then you can work your way up to the Duke job, if you so desire.

But why does everyone want Duke so much? I don't see what the draw of Duke is. Why not Kentucky, or somewhere better like that? ;)

I could probably stay at Columbia for 20 years IF it wasn't so boring playing in a shitty conference. Through 2+ seasons, I am 29-1 in conference play, and I have to do everything I can just to get through the boredom of the conference schedule. That's why I'll definitely be taking off for a better job after 4 years.

I meant to say this earlier, if you get a chance schedule the 2k Classic tourney at the beginning of the year. It was really cool this year as I won my first two games (helping me get used to my new players) then went into the semi-finals of the tourney with Louisville (who beat me by 1), Kentucky, and Georgia Southern at Madison Square Garden. I hadn't played there on this game and it was really cool. I recommend you all try it out.

Damn, I didn't know they had Madison Square Garden. I chose the Preseason NIT this past season thinking I'd get to play at MSG, but instead I had to play all 4 games at the Carrier Dome.

Also, if you're looking for the tourney with the most talent, I say it without question has to be the Tropical Invitational (or in real life, the Maui Invitational). I'm definitely entering that preseason tourney next season; it has had the best field in each of my first 3 seasons.

[J Hall]

Yea, I keep trying for that one, but usually I have other games scheduled...I'm torn between keeping my for-sure games or going into the tourney. I might lose and not have a game for a week or so.

For the 2k classic, I went to the one in Wake Forest's gym (unknowingly) and I didn't even know I would be in another round after that. It was really cool that I did though. Too bad I lost by one....I had a buzzer beating shot that was too long...ah well

[chiefnole85]

for anyone who has played multiple seasons, how much does the performance during the year affect progression? For instance, I simulated the first year of my Colgate dynasty, and now in the 2nd year I have this freshman center who is blowing up and averaging about 15 ppg. Is there any hope that his ratings will get a big boost next year?

[J Hall]

I think it all boils down to their potential rating and their focus/confidence. If you look at their player card/profile, you'll see that graph on the right that shows their focus and confidence. Keep those high and they improve at a higher rate. I assume the better you play with them (no homo) the better they get.

Like it was mentioned, I think player potential and your coaches' teaching ability are what matter most. And even then, usually everybody progresses at close to the same rate, with some guys progressing by 1 (or maybe 2 if you're lucky) more point overall than everybody else over the course of the season.

[PapiChullo]

I've chosen to do the career, and the team that I have gotten (thanks to a random pick) is Prarie View. Should be fun.

I just had my center go up 4 points in his Senior year. During the tournament, if your guys are playing well I think they go up more than during the regular season. Of course, my teaching is an A+ so that might have something to do with it

I'm thinking about starting a new legacy with Hawaii where I just recruit guys from Hawaii, Alaska, International, and maybe JC. I'm kinda interested in what the results would be.

Probably would be a great challenge, and it'd be very realistic too. Definitely go after JUCOs, since that's where Hawaii has gotten a lot of their recruits lately.

I meant to say this earlier, if you get a chance schedule the 2k Classic tourney at the beginning of the year. It was really cool this year as I won my first two games (helping me get used to my new players) then went into the semi-finals of the tourney with Louisville (who beat me by 1), Kentucky, and Georgia Southern at Madison Square Garden. I hadn't played there on this game and it was really cool. I recommend you all try it out.

I played in my first mid season tourney (one that was just automatically put on my schedule) and noticed something kinda cool.

The game was on Dec 30 against Gonzaga and during cut scenes the Zaga Bulldog would have a Santa hat on.

Well, I've been playing flag football and this is really the first time I'm gonna have a chance to play it. Earlier I couldn't get used to that shot stick. Do you guys use that shot stick? Or square(for Ps2)?

[J Hall]

for my jumpers i use square. for my layups/post moves and all that, i use the shot stick. it takes awhile to get the hang of, but once you do, it's great

I never use the shot stick except for a few post moves.

It wasn't a good idea for Coach Balboa to Schedule the Pre-Season NIT, with the Portland St. Vikings against 2 Duke.[down]
