New Coach and a not very talented roster. SR Dwight Lewis was there highest rated player (80 Overall) but they will return 10 players next year and are bringing in some decent talent (4-3* prospects all rated in the Top-300). The days of OJ Mayor an Demar Derozan are gone. Guess the game realizes it.

Yeah I was shocked as well. In most of my legacies. The MWC generally gets at least 3 bids sometimes 4 and Colorado State is normally down toward the bottom.

2k8. I downloaded a roster set on 12/28 that had all of the power conferences/major and mid major's done. as well as a few small conferences. I didn't really pay attention to ratings to much though because I figure with it being a open legacy I can go in a re-rate players as I need to.

Okay so I am done with the tourney. It was crazy. Tons of upsets. Worked in my favor. I am very happy with how things turned out. I would've never thought I would have the type of year I did both in the regular season/Pac-10 and NCAA tourney.

I will try and get all the games posted tomorrow night unless my wife has something planned, if so I will get them up Sunday after the Super Bowl.

Thanks again to call those following and leaving comments. Makes even more worth while knowing that people are reading. Please feel free to ask any questions and if there is any extra info you would like to see let me know. Next year I think I will add a weekly wrapup report at least on Top-25 scores and I might try and include current and past legacy teams used on the boards here and 2ksports like Doncoryell does in his Coach Knight legacy.

I am already excited about starting next year's season. I have Tues/Wed off but then I am working for 2 days straight and then going out of town for 3 days. so expect alot of info on Tues and games on Wed.

Congrats on finishing your first season. Now is the part where it either gets really fun or really boring. Personally, I like the connection of knowing the real players etc and i tend to end dynasties once a lot leave and I'm stuck with fake players but it is fun to try and build a powerhouse. Good Luck!

For I will have a couple more years before that happens. I only lose Koprivica at the end of the year, and I will have the majority of my team for another 2 seasons. But I actually enjoy the recruiting and playing with guys I bring in. That is part of the reason why I don't worry to much about star ratings and what their Overall rating is. I like to find guys that I enjoy playing with that fit my style. So a 3* SF that is 6'8 or taller that can knock down the 3pt shot is actually someone I rather have then a 6'5 SF who is quick and can score driving the lane. In all my legacies my favorite play was a 3* Mr BB from Nevada name Andy Akpan.

Just thought I'd pop and tell everybody here that Deuce is truly a fantastic college hoops franchiser...His Coach Young chise over on 2k is at over 170 pages and has gone something like 20 seasons. Good luck with this Deuce!
