Try your hand at coaching.. virtually
« on: November 15, 2008, 10:25:31 AM »

pretty cool idea if you ask me.. apparently the way most of the high performers win is to use the back button to retry recruiting and games until they get their desired result.

If you guys want an awesome simulation site try whatifsports . com and check out the HD basketball. It is by far the best on the market.

whatif is a great site.   but when you don't want to pay or register or give your email address or reserve a team months in advance, you gotta go with bethecoachbasketball.com.   time wasting at it's purest.

of course, i'm biased coz i wrote the game.   ;D

Lawrence Sewell    SR    6    4    9    8    6.75

The donors are brutal!


Buzz Williams (Career 72-48)
2015: 6-8
2014: 9-6 First Round
2013: 11-5 Second Round
2012: 9-6 First Round
2011: 11-4 Conference Champions, First Round
2010: 8-7 First Round
2009: 10-6 Second Round
2008: 8-6

Hopefully this isn't how the real Buzz Williams career goes, we need deeper runs.  Although I think to tweak the game... you need to fix how the seedings are given.  the year I was 11-4 I was #16 Nationally ranked... and was given a 10 seed...

There's A LOT to tweak.

1) The setting that recruiting at Marquette is on par with recruiting at Northwestern St.

2) The setting that allows you to have 7.00 rated WALK-ONs!

3) The setting that can allow UW-Milwaukee to reach the Finals and BEAT MU by 1 point!

4) The fact that you can refresh and get a loaded incoming class.

There's A LOT that needs to be fixed...

Which one?  The one that says Brett Favre's IQ is 135 and Obama's is 124?  I pray those are both wrong.

Is anyone else having problems accessing the game?  I get to the main page, but when I select a conference the page just reloads instead of letting me pick my players...
