I think my team history speaks for itself.

6 straight wins in the FBCA Tournament should do it.

Seriously, though, you're just not getting lucky.

Noop · 05-18-2004, 07:10 PM

I edit one of your plays to give them super defense and run a slow grind it out game and you'll win. Seriously did u try the save and reload method? Or maybe switch teams looks like u took them about as far as they can go...

Franklinnoble · 05-18-2004, 07:11 PM

Save and reload?

Save the game sim if you lose reload the game and sim again until you win.

Homey don't play that.

Hey, your prestige is at 100, and has been for years now... which means you're always going to get top recruits... which means you're always going to be able to compete for the title... which means it's really just a matter of time.

I switch to a new team or start over entirely at that point... with the prestige that high, the game is almost too easy.

Easy Mac · 05-18-2004, 07:22 PM

Is that you Roy?

Yeah, I've been considering that, and I will almost certainly switch when I win the title....but....I just can't bring myself to stop or change teams until I win that title.

To expound on this...I think that would cheapen my victory...and "tarnish my legacy."

Yep, you said the same thing right before you left Kansas for North Carolina.

Dude, I'm 79 years old. I've got no interest in uprooting my wife of 54 years. We just want to have One Shining Moment played while we are cutting down the nets. Is that too much to ask?

Easy Mac · 05-18-2004, 07:42 PM

yes... yes it is.

korme · 05-18-2004, 07:58 PM

Felt the same way digamma. I was a national powerhouse without a title, and finally with a string of luck (healthy for the tourney, good shooting, no key player had a bad night, some upsets gave me some easier matchups in later rounds, etc) I finally won ti all. Bringing back the same 15 a year later, with nothing changed but more experience and improved players, we lost in the Elite 8. That's the luck of the draw my friend.

Shush! Roy was doomed at Kansas, his heart just wasn't in it. He's a Tar Heel. For him to win a title anywhere else would have been blasphemous. He'll get his title in Chapel Hill.

The ball is tipped
and there you are
you're running for your life
you're a shooting star
And all the years
no one knows
just how hard you worked
but now it shows...
(in) ONE SHINING MOMENT, IT'S ALL ON THE LINE
ONE SHINING MOMENT, THERE FROZEN IN TIME

But time is short
and the road is long
in the blinking of an eye
ah that moment's gone
And when it's done
win or lose
you always did your best
cuz inside you knew...
(that) ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU REACHED DEEP INSIDE
ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU KNEW YOU WERE ALIVE

Feel the beat of your heart
feel the wind in your face
it's more than a contest
it's more than a race...

And when it's done
win or lose
you always did your best
cuz inside you knew...
(that) ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU REACHED FOR THE SKY
ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU KNEW
ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU WERE WILLING TO TRY
ONE SHINING MOMENT....

HeavyReign · 05-26-2004, 11:26 PM

2058 isn't bad. In my main career I didn't win a championship until around 2072 or so. Then I won another one within 10 years.
