    Re: How is YOUR Career Legacy going?!?!

    It has been awhile since I played my Legacy, but I am 15-2 with Dartmouth in my first season.

    We are going to have a tough road for recruiting as I think I have to move my focus to crappier players (away from 3 star guys).

    My 7-foot freshman Center is ROLLING though.

      Re: How is YOUR Career Legacy going?!?!

      I'm in year number 7 with a decent Wisconsin Badgers squad. ( UNF for 3 years and Boise state 4 years) I have came along way and sent 3 guys to the league my last year at Boise. ( Most noted: I had a monster 7'4 center named Mason Giles with B+ potential ovr a 92...Think Hasheem Thabeet mixed with Chris Bosh!) He was a 3 star recruited from the AAU and now he is making some NBA team cream in their pants...pun intended. lol

      I am at a B+ grade (coach) so that's how I got the Wisconsin job. I love this game. The Wisconsin team I am coaching now is loaded with decent players..along with a 6'8 195 PF and a 6'11 246 SF who are the stars of this squad. I have only one point guard and he is serviceable but I need a Darren Collison type of point to drive and kick with.

      My SF is a 3pt monster...( I know your thinking why not change positions with the 6'8 PF...tried it and it doesn't work out.)

      Record is 17-3 just finished a game against Michigan and they were fierce!

      I'll try and take pics off my iphone to show u guys some of the glory!

      Good thread keep it going!

        Finished yr 1 with Colorado a few days ago. I went 17-14 and didnt make the NCAA tournament.

        Signed 3 guards, one of them was a JUCO prospect and the other two are freshman. All of them 3*s. Lost my starting SG (was a Soph. i think) to the NBA draft.

        Started my 2nd season and I am now 2-2. I just got blown out by Creighton, last night, 86-62. I was down by 35 at half. One of those freshman guards, M. Amous, scored 20 in this game!

        I dont have a dominate big man so thats why I have a hard time winning in my conference.

        Gotta play a top 5 ranked USC team next. They are rated like a 96, i believe, and my overall is only a 79. I love it when you check your email for a scouting report and it says something like, " we will need a lot of luck to win" or something like that.

          Re: How is YOUR Career Legacy going?!?!

          After a legacy killing glitch on my Mercer legacy that prevented me from recruiting, I needed a clean slate and began a legacy with Jacksonville State. The plan was simple, sim the regular season and recruit hard, then play the conference tourney and try to sneak into the postseason.

          The team only managed 11 wins on their own, but winning the conference tourney in a tight game over Samford gave me a spot in the NCAA tourney, albeit the play-in game.

          Year two was where I planned to play out the regular season and it started well, 4 returning starters paired with a 7'1 freshman center (3* world recruit 68 OVR) and I was able to win my first 12 games rather easily, with the exception of a bad performance against Delaware St in which I needed a buzzer beating hook shot from 4 ft out just to force overtime.

          Then came Murray St, and my team suddenly fell apart. I only managed to shoot 37% from the field, including 1-9 behind the arc. Still I held a 6 pt lead with 3 mins to go as Murray St went on a run to take a 1 pt lead with 19 seconds left. I had the ball and let the clock wind down, used a pick n roll with my PF and was able to get off an uncontested layup as time expired... CLANK!! Final score 68-67, undefeated season over.

          Was a little cranky after that and decided to go ahead and sim away. Got sim-happy again and just focused on recruiting, built JVSU into a small school power and eventually accepted an offer to coach Central Florida. After 3 more seasons of simming and recruiting hard, my team was ready to dance, although I wasn't pleased my star center left school early for the NBA (he was only 6'10 and rated 87 OVR). I was excited to have him on my roster though, he had an incredible inside scoring touch (98 rating on close shots). Oh well, the team is still loaded, just a little weak up front.

          I knew my Golden Knights were good enough to make the tourney on their own so I simmed the whole regular season and was shocked to see they went 31-1 on their own and clinched the #1 overall seed. The first 2 rounds were lopsided matchups so I began playing in the sweet 16 against #5 seed Villanova (93 ovr), which I won by 19.

          Next up was Duke, only a 10 seed despite a 96 rating. This one was back n forth the whole way but I managed to pull away in the final minutes with clutch free throws in a 75-66 win. On to the final four.

          Arizona was next (93 ovr) and provided no challenge whatsoever, their full court press was thrashed from start to finish en route to an astonishing 104-52 blowout. This one surprised me. The guy they had trying to cover my 2nd pass out of the press was too slow to keep up with my SF and I was getting 2 on 1 fast breaks over and over, yet they refused to change things up and got punished for it.

          The championship game was against Georgia Tech (another 93 ovr) and the Yellowjackets were hot early, jumping to a 27-17 lead forcing turnovers and crushing me on the fast break. But then I tweaked my strategy a bit and was able to get their star big men in foul trouble during a 17-5 run then led to a 48-41 half time score. The 2nd half was just insane, my players had so much adrenaline playing in the championship there was just no stopping them as GT tried the same full court strategy that failed Arizona so miserably and fell victim once again, as my boys put up a whopping 65 second half points en route to a 113-83 beatdown!

          Very long update I know, but I'm trying to condense about 11 seasons down to 1 report lol.

              New update, before putting up the pics the Iowa Hawkeyes got me late in the fourth with a barrage of 3 pointers, I came back on a little run but it was too late...I had like 2.1 seconds left I tried to do the Hill to Laettner pass
              ( Kentucky vs Duke 92) and got picked off by Iowa's SF...ugh! More to come....

                Re: How is YOUR Career Legacy going?!?!

                UGH! Now that I've finished off my championship season I had to work through a minor freezing issue that wouldn't let me check the conference champions of other leagues (froze on me twice while on the big east), and NOW I'm having the same glitch that killed my Mercer legacy!! I can't sort the HS classes and JC players without the game locking up! This is killing me !! I might have to find a new copy of the game, I'm not ready to quit playing legacies

                  Re: How is YOUR Career Legacy going?!?!

                  My file with my Colorado legacy got corrupted while i was trying to save (power went out), so I had to start a new legacy. Decided to go with Rice....wow, this team cant shoot worth a crap!!! I played my first game vs. TCU last night and lost 76-31! I think I play Duquesne next. Since Rice is such a horrible team, much worse than Colorado, this legacy should be really interesting.

                    Here is the career of coach A.C. Slater. I have been playing this same career for 3 years + now. I used a roster file from 07-08. Not sure what sliders I use but it was the #1 ranked slider set when I downloaded it from 2kshare. I run a uptempo, fast break, crash boards, & bomb 3's style of play. I sub 5 at a time so play a core of 10 players. I also play every game so that is why it has taken me 3 years to get this far.

                    Side Notes
                    My 09-10 class at Campbell was full of great freshmen and led by a soph SF/PF named Ben Lang from Africa who was my first player signed in the 08 class. By the 11-12 season they were all rated in the mid 70's to 82 (Mike Conroy a 6'9" PF that had 3pt range) and a team rating of 81 ovr (next best in the A-Sun was ETSU with a 73ovr). The Finial Four that season had a 3 seed (me), 7 seed, 9 seed, & 12 seed. I played USC a 12 seed for the NC and won on a last second drive by Ben Lang and foul. My first year at Houston was a stacked team (92ovr). Passed up a lot of jobs to stay with good players. I have faced the Ducks and the Longhorns the most in the NCAA Tournament.

                    Next Season Outlook
                    I have every player coming back from my finial four run (9 seniors, 2 jrs, 2 soph, & 0 fresh). All core 10 are back for a title run. I start 4 seniors and 1 soph and my 5 off the bench that play are 4 seniors and 1jr. If I can sign the 9 players I have offered (ranked #1 school on all 9 players) then I will create another Fab-5 at Michigan like back in the 90's. I loved that team back in the day and Chirs Webber and Jimmy King were my heros. I wore #24 for Jimmy King. Anyway things look good for the next season. Hope to finish before NCAA 11 comes out on July 13th.
                    Relax, it's just a video game!

                      Love this game. I'm in year 2 with Long Island. I ended up 15-17 in my first season, which I considered a success. I brought in a solid class to compliment a team returning 4 of its 5 starters and i should be better than last year.

                        I'm also in year 2 with Long Island. Won 20 games in year 1, finished 2nd in the NEC. Got upset by a really bad St Francis (PA) team in the first round of the conf. tourney.

                        Landed 4 3-star recruits. Only lost 2 players and all 4 of my freshmen are good enough to immediately contribute. Plus I return the conf. player of the year.

                        Lost opening game of the season to Saint Louis, gonna be a while before i get my rotation down. I'll probably land 2 more 3-stars this year and return 4 starters next year. My team will be a problem in years 3-4.

                        LIU is a good team to build with, they only had 2 SRs and 2 JRs on the roster.

                            Just realize those last 5 weeks of recruiting (after the season is over) are really important.

                            Theres always players that slip through the cracks at the last second, and no one is there to scoop them up. One of the 3 stars I signed didn't even pay attention to until the offseason recruiting period. He had some larger schools going after him but they filled their spots and i was able to sign him on the last day on the calendar.

                                Started a new legacy a couple days ago with UNLV and playing with 10-11 rosters.

                                I am ranked 10th in the country with a record of 6-1.

                                My only loss came to San Diego and I only could tie the game up and never could get the lead it was sad.

                                Key wins are over Louisville and UTEP so far.

                                Now im trying to recruit with only one available scholarship a 5* PF but if I don't land him I still have so much depth for the next two years with Tre'von Willis, Oscar Bellifield, Chase Stanback, Quitrell Thomas, Derrick Jaspar and Anthony Marshall.

                                I am having a blast!
