NCAA Basketball 10 Media & Info

Faltered again and fell to Stanford (10-5 (3-1)) 69-63.  We've really lost some of that early form and now I find myself forcing the issue a lot when I need to sit back and take what's being given.  Gotta regroup now as we face #10 Cal next.

Record stands at 13-3 (2-3), still ranked #13

This sounds like an awesome season...in real life, it's not THAT uncommon for a team to go unbeaten in early-season play and rise up in the polls, only to come crashing down when conference play starts.

Ted, I might have missed it but what settings are you using?  I was thinking about going 12 minutes, not touching the sliders and all-conference.  I am still trying to figure out who to play with but it will be from a mid-major conference on the East Coast.

I will send you a PM.  Going with 15 minutes and All-Conference and will look at tweaking after a few games.

I decided to start a different kind of dynasty (a 4 year dynasty with the return of Larry Bird at Indiana State). I turned off going pro in the options because he would be bound for the NBA early and I did not want that.  I edited one of the existing freshmen and made what looks almost like a young Larry Bird, Down to the long socks and goofy hair.  He is rated around a 85 with a premium on shooting and passing.  A solid Defender and good rebounder with the jumping skills of a 500 pound sumo wrestler (I made him the lowest dunking rating 10 out of 100).  Though due to his size he did make a dunk in the first game.

So we begin the dynasty journey with Larry Bird and the Indiana St sycamores taking on the Missouri Valley Conference. We are an up-tempo team with three skilled 3-point shooters.

Season One 

Game one   Opening Round   Indiana State (11 seed) - LSU  (6 seed) (played at Arizona State)

Bird starts the first half on fire and the rest of the team is cold. Down most of the first half ISU keeps it close and finds themselves down by a point at the half.  As things heat up in the second half the LSU coach realizes that Larry Bird has been re-created and proceeds to double and on a couple occasions triple teaming Bird, leaving plenty of open shots for the rest of the team.  Bird hits a three pointer to tie the game with under a minute left.  LSU scores as they driain the shot clock. With 14 seconds left the PG takes the ball down the court and makes and awkward layup as time expires, 80-80 and we head to overtime.  In overtime ISU is outclassed and LSU hits all but one free throw to take the victory as three ISU players foul out of the game.

Final Score   LSU 97   ISU  95  OT

Bird 51 points  16 Rebounds  3 steals  1 block

Sorry about that, Brent.  I deleted a few pm's and made room, but also just sent it to your email posted here.

Ignore what he says at the top of the text about the roster file.  I just use default rosters and the sliders work fine.
