I'll probably try to get a coach mode game in today and see how it is. I'll let you know what I think of it after.

Re: ***OS's Official College Hoops 2k8 Coach Mode Central***

I won't have the game until xmas at least (sucks not having any money), so by the time I get it, hopefully someone will have a good set of coach mode sliders.

Re: ***OS's Official College Hoops 2k8 Coach Mode Central***

I'm actually hoping it's as good as 2k7 in the slider regard. I coached about 5-6 seasons into an NC A&T/Winthrop closed legacy on default all-conference with game speed set to 47 being the only change.

Re: ***OS's Official College Hoops 2k8 Coach Mode Central***

I just uploaded some settings that are working very well for CPU vs CPU

The file is called "grismosw settings"

I'm going to lower the game speed a little bit to reduce shots, reduce ballhandling again, increase steals slightly and give blocks a slight increase. I'm going to max fouls and bump up drive tendency.

The Wake Forest-Northwestern game kind of blew the numbers up a bit.

How many minute halfs?

Re: ***OS's Official College Hoops 2k8 Coach Mode Central***

How many minute halfs?

20 minutes.

The game doesn't count all blocks as blocks for some reason and on the fly subbing does not work during coach mode.

Re: ***OS's Official College Hoops 2k8 Coach Mode Central***

here go my fellow coachers. I am glad I found you. I replied in the last year thread but glad someone was smarter than me to start a new thread. I was saying in the other one. that I will start with the defaults which I don't think will work. secondly I will just try the settings that worked for me last year and see what happens.

i got the game and there is definitely a coach mode

WOOT! now all we need are for the slider geniuses to work they mojo :P

Re: ***OS's Official College Hoops 2k8 Coach Mode Central***

Anyone have any impressions of Coach Mode yet? I am still learning plays and learning how this game plays overall before I start a Legacy, but was curious how the Coach Mode guys are coming along.

[frago]

Re: ***OS's Official College Hoops 2k8 Coach Mode Central***

New to Coach Mode, can anyone tell me how I can change the plays that are assigned the different buttons?

Just a note.
You should still post the slider numbers in the forum. Problem with 2k share and sliders is that you cannot load them into a legacy that has already begun.

Re: ***OS's Official College Hoops 2k8 Coach Mode Central***

On what level are you playing? I am on AC "thinking" that it would give niether team an advantage. What do you guys think?

I have all fouls at 75 and 3 point tendancy cut in half. In my first few games we were firing 3's but I also had the tempo for my team set high.

subs on the fly dont work and that is a pain!

I am using Juk34man 's sliders from the slider forum.

Lowered the half to 15 minutes. The Substitution bug is maddening though makes it a chore to play sometimes.
