The Other Coach K -- A Yearbook Legacy (CH 2K8)

[hockeyplaya2724]

This is pretty good so far, keep it up! That was a tough 7-19 season, hopefully this season you can get above .500 especially with the good job you did at recruiting.

Thanks for the encouragement! I wish I had more time to play this game. I usually don't get any gaming in during weekdays, only on the weekends. So this legacy is going to move A LOT SLOWER in the future than how this first season went -- 1st season was over before I even decided to start this thread. But I hope to keep it around for a long time.

Why did Sony have to take away the screen snapshot feature on the PS3? I remember an update adding that a long time ago, but I don't think its possible anymore. That was so simple & would've given me better quality images than I can take with a camera.

That recruiting class.... Dang!

I feel you, I use PS3 too! It makes everything a lot more difficult when there isn't that snapshot feature. Anyways, good luck and I'll be following!

Not sure how long it will last, but for now our 4-star recruit Souchu is going to be playing the role of 6th man in a 3-guard rotation with McGhee & Leath. McGhee is too good of a passer & ballhandler to sit on the bench & Leath is a lethal scorer (87 3pt rating). I could put Souchu at the 3, but for now new guys Keita & Cannon will be splitting time there.

Keita has one heck of an awkward release -- its so quick its not far removed from a pump fake in terms of when you have to release the R stick.

Should be interesting starting an all-freshman frontcourt. Undoubtedly there are going to be serious chemistry issues with this team, and upper classmen with complaints about playing time.

2008-09 schedule is going to look a little strange. Didn't take the time to customize it, so we've got out-of-conference home & away games against Pepperdine and Utah Valley St.

Another drawback of not customizing the schedule is that we've got 4 Sunday games, which means we can't visit recruits during those weeks. However, since we managed to fill 6 scholarships last season & only have 3 to hand out now, we'll deal with the adversity.

Despite the awful first season, I somehow managed to accumulate 3 more coaching points...

Coach K's Ratings:
Offense: C-
Defense: C-
Teaching: C-
Scouting: C-
Charisma: A+
Discipline: C-

I considered reloading a backup file so I could change the schedule, but I would've had to replay the entire ABL again. Not willing to do that...
