EXCEPT in College Hoops the points actually correlate to whether you email a recruit, call them, visit them at home, scout a game, schedule a campus visit etc. Similar to NCAA Football the game uses a weekly point system. In order to make our schedule as close to what we saw this year I added ND, Cuse and Pitt as non-conference games as well as Memphis, Auburn, and Wisconsin (along with other tomato cans from this year) soo.yeah we won’t be left out of the NCAAs due to strength of schedule or anything of the sort.
So I got rid of Maryland (you’re welcome) and replaced them with Louisville (of the Big East at the time). The game allows you to do conference realignment BUT only allows you to swap teams and not add/subtract teams. This and other adjustments ultimately made the team better but not in an egregious way. Also, some player designs were just.really off. Had to make some adjustments as there were such things as DJF being listed as a 6’5 SF, Bates blocking prowess criminally low and Hellems rated as the 12th best player on the team. Some adjustments also included changing our style of play to match the pressing, fast break oriented style Keatts chooses to run. As well as named/edited the HCs of all our major opponents. Renamed James Johnson and Roy Roberson as our assistants to Kevin Keatts (like reading a Stan Lee comic with all that alliteration). The downloaded rosters are based on the 19-20 season but I had to cut Harris then redshirt Allen, Seabron & Taylor. (Note: all pictures taken from JEOHankins2’s personal device on his own XBox 360 & copy of College Hoops 2K8) I will be recruiting manually but simulating game play (that is at least until the ACC/NCAA tournys where I’m going to actively try to win us something we haven t had in over 30 years).
To ape Steven’s series and SBN’s Ricky O’Donnell, I am going through College Hoops 2K8 on the X-Box 360 with State’s most recent roster simulating an approximation of our past season to see what the game offers us. Still, just like College Football, folks at sites like Operation Sports dedicate themselves yearly to updating rosters so folks can still get their college sports fix until that inevitable day where players can bargain collectively for their likenesses to be included in future games. 2K dropped the game after 2K8 and EA followed suit in 2010. Way before the very profitable College Football shut down, the much less viable NCAA Basketball games met their end a few years earlier as 2K Sports decided to focus on their (at the time) highly rated NBA 2K series and EA Sports realized they had to defend their long lasting NBA Live turf. There has been plenty of weeping and gnashing of teeth surrounding the loss of College Football games since the Ed O’Bannon lawsuit exposed the NCAA and its game makers as the grifters they are.
