Great and long work you try to do, do you know if it's possible in the game, to reproduce the playing style of each teams (no analogy between Houston and Duke'92 for example)

I've already done rosters for the teams, even if I didnt list the year yet...that list isn't complete, I just havent finished updating it yet. For GT I did the year with Scott, Oliver, and Anderson and LMU has the late, great Gathers( By the way, one of my alltime favorite players!!) and I went with 83 Houston instead of 84 just so my 83 NC State could beat them again and again haha!! I havent gotten into the styles yet...the up tempo and motion offense combined has been giving me fits in testing with team putting up 90+ points on me but I dont think you can edit coaching, you would have to set it pregame(someone correct me if I'm wrong)

Since I'm new at this game any help on ratings from you would be great!! I came up with a few scales for ratings based on default highs and lows, but with some tinkering. And I made scales for most attributes based off a players stats per minute....seems to working pretty well. Speed and quickness I have been basing off the type of player they were. I did notice that defensive ability seemed really low, so I did bump them around 10-15. I'll briefly breakdown a few of my charts:

Passing
Assists/per minute--Rating
.25+ = 99
.18 = 90
.12 = 80
.07 = 70
If a player was a good passer but just didnt have many assists, I give them a bump

Offensive rebound/PM ---Rating
.20 = 99
.15 = 84
.10 = 69
.05 = 54

Defensive rebound/PM---rating
.25 = 99
.20 = 87
.15 = 75
.10 = 63
.05 = 51

With these rebound settings, it keeps average players low, but they still get rebounds based on position. But the dominant rebounders really stand out, especially on the offensive end. Let me know what yours thought are on this system. I also use a players actual FT% for the rating and have a scale for FG% that I use with their shooting range:

FG%--Rating
70 = 91
65 = 85
60 = 79
55 = 73
50 = 67
45 = 61
40 = 55
35 = 49
30 = 43

Just a little update.... I've been chipping away at this for the last few weeks and have around 120 teams done(still need to tweak a few ratings as I play with teams) and plan to have around 210 when I'm fnished. I will try to post updates on here of the teams and years when I get a chance. On a side note, if anyone could find the player's mnutes played or avg minutes per game for 1997 Arizona, please post on here. It shouldnt be so hard to find complete stats for a pretty recent NCAA champion...but it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I have already picked teams and completed most player data...just working on ratings and I will post a list of teams within a week or two.

I'm interested in these rosters. Can you provide a link?

I'm putting together some Alumni rosters. Working on the ACC first, and I'm doing it by decades. So for example, UNC '80-'89, Duke '86-'95, UVA '80-89, etc.

I just got the game yesterday. I might just do 1980-1999 rosters for all teams. Someone else can do the ones after 2000.

Metallicarl who is going to be on the teams you are not doing? How will they be rated?

I think I'm just going to lower some ratings so there will be a few players in the low 70's and the rest 69-60. There shouldnt be too many of these teams though because I'm going pretty in depth including most Southern Conf teams, MAC, Horizon, etc. Almost every school no matter how small usually had at least one break out season between 1960's-2010.

Carl,

Have you supplied a link yet, or are you waiting to finish before doing so?

Sorry, didnt see your earlier post....I haven't posted a link yet, just going to wait until I get them finished but it shouldnt be too much longer. I've completed all the majors and I'm trying to dig up info on the smaller schools. BTW, the decade teams sounds like an awesome idea!!
