This game owns my soul.

That's cool, bro...maybe I can try that myself at some point.

Thanks...it took me a few seasons to learn how to coach fast and try to force tempo on the CPU. The bigger schools still make me pay but that's exactly how it should be.

I came very, very close to choosing Long Island before going with Bakersfield.

I'm going to try your coaching style later when I get home from classes. I am a cpu vs. cpu type guy, so it should be interesting to see how the 2011-12 Purdue Boilermakers hold up with this style.

By far the great franchise mode by far there was soooooooo much you can do in there, from the crazy looking recuits and names, to the weekly wrap-up, This game was really great, I continue to still play this too this day!

So I downloaded raider's 2011-12 rosters (using them for now until Deepball's are released), and I set up Purdue's schedule the best I could ( a few small games, couldn't do Puerto Rico Tip-off properly, it satisfies me though). I use Jukeman's sliders for cpu vs cpu.

SC guy, I think I found a post of yours at ncaastrategies, haha go figure. So I'm using that as my coach strategy now.

I watched my team play ten games before finding the previously mentioned link, and we are 10-0. All ten games had pretty high scoring, but nothing like LMU seeing as I am just now implementing the correct strategy for that. I don't the it'll be exactly the same in cpu vs cpu, but we'll see how it goes. The most points we have scored though are 89, and our largest margin of victory was an 81-41 win over Texas State in a tournament game. We'll see how this strategy works on the road @ Butler, and then we head back home to begin conference play against Michigan!

Watched some of the games, then decided to simulate the season so I could bring in some of my own recruits. We finished 18-11 after losing to Northwestern in our first Big Ten conference tournament game. We just barely managed to get into the NCAA tournament against Austin Peay. I simmed that game, which we lost. Heading into the new season, I picked up one AA, Mr B, 5*, and some 4 star guys. Overall, the team looks pretty weak still. Hopefully we can managed....

I went to two different Gamestops in my area after both showed they had the game instock online and the cases were on the shelves. I get to the counter at both Gamestops only to find that they don't have the game after all. Talk about disappointment LOL. And it was only $3 too. Oh well, I guess I'll keep searching. There's like 20 Gamestops spread throughout the region, so one of them has to at least have a copy.

Good luck finding your copy.

This season is starting off rather poorly for Purdue. It's really obvious now how much Hummel meant for our team last year.... I have guys on the team now that need to work on shooting... alot. My highest overall is a 74...... But luckily I have some good 4* guys interested in me. If I can reel them in, that would sure help with building a team.
