Got hooked into this one:
JUMP SERVE - College Volleyball Simulation Game
Womens' college volleyball sim. Very simple and basic. No strategy involved other than one-click recruiting and then selecting your final 8 players on tryout day.
Yet it's oddly addicting. I took UNLV from Mountain West bottom feeder to Elite 8 team by my 5th season.
Starting my 6th year now and it should be my best one. Kelly Sousa, a junior, is my first ever All-American. There's also Olubunmi Iisakka, another junior who is the only player in my tenure to be All-Conference all three seasons she's played... not even Sousa did that. We have a couple other All-Conference players. One's a senior who got her first nod there. The other is Sheeka Demars, a sophomore I thought could have made it her freshman season.
This might finally be the season we knock off the BYU behemoth. They've won the conference every single year so far, although one season, #4 I think, they won a tiebreaker with Wyoming. The Pokes were the #2 power in the conference for most of six years, but last season they regressed to a mid-tier team.
San Diego State, on the other hand, has stayed a bottom feeder. I don't think they've even broken .500, which would be 7-7, yet.
Oh and just to recap my notes
