How is YOUR Career Legacy going?!?!

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

as for my long-term goals i want to turn St. Johns into a yearly contender, and win a championship or 2 there. then i want to take my coaching career back to my home state of Illinois and see what i can do with Chicago recruits in my back yard

In my 4th season at St. John's, I won a national title. There's plenty of talent in the area and you need every bit of it to win in the Big East. Good luck!

The reason for retiring early is to start up a new Legacy and sim only. I'm not going to take any power conference jobs unless it's a bottom feeder school. I mostly sim anyway, or I'd have better stats above. I'm curious to see how long it'll take me to sim out an entire career to the point where I'm forced to retire (the "swan song" season). When I'm finally done I'll post those final stats.

It'll probably take a long time since I'm easily distracted by other games (mlb 2k10), and hoping to get NCAA 11 soon, I hear it's great. ALSO, I've never done a hoopcast sim but might try that for a few games and see how it goes, if I like how it plays out it could be how I handle the conference and NCAA tourney games. Thanks for reading!

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

In my 2nd season with the Howard Bison in Career Legacy. Was below .500 first year, but managed to win the MEAC tournament and win the qualifying game for the NCAA Tourney over Davidson. Lost by 70-ish to Kentucky in the first round, behind 35-20 from DeMarcus Cousins.

So far second year I'm 5-0, whilst beating 2 top 10 teams. Still not ranked for whatever reason.

3 star recruit leads team in scoring with 21ppg.

Left powerhouse UCONN and went to Siena. They have Five sr. so I'm plotting how next year turns out when i start bringing in my guys and run my type of program. With a 96 coaching rating it will be easier to get the guys who want good coaching which means high potenial. Wish me luck in my recruing

i did that in 2k7... played x amount of years in open legacy with illinois, then wanted to build up a smaller school, took a job at cleveland state, and promptly landed the best recruit in the country (he was from cleveland)

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

Playing 22 Marist vs Siena (unranked) in conferecne play. 16-22 with around 6 mins left in the first half(15min half). Just missed the and one FT got the rebound with my backup C and got the putback which forced Marist to call a TO.

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

Now the ref wont inbound the ball which forced me to call a TO and just scored 2 points because they beat the press (which I didnt know I was in) while posting this messege

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

Well, there are tons of rosters available when I check 2k share, including 09/10 or 10/11, and recently people have re-upped the older rosters too. I'm ps3, so I can't speak for the 360, but I imagine there are plenty to choose from.

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

I made the Coach's Poll with 5 weeks left till the selection show. Also, with 4 weeks left broke the top 25 but fell out the next week(didnt lose just too much competition).

I like being at a Mid-major. Wins feel earned and good recruits are harder to come by.

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

2-4 in my new career legacy with Northern Colorado, 07-08 rosters. notable win over Iowa on the road. i've got a very good 2 guard and a dominant center, both seniors, a sophomore small forward who has shown flashes of brilliance. its going to be a long year, hopefully i can pull it together by the time conference season starts. right now i'm recruiting 2 centers, a 6'8 3* and a 7' 2* as well as a 3* shooting guard by the name of Denver Richards..at this point Johnnie Denver seems like he's about locked up, really need the 2 centers as i'm losing the only one i have. i'm liking Northern Colorado they have some real nice uni's and a decent recruiting base in colorado

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

Conference Championship
16 Marist vs Siena

In the regular season, I played them back to back and beat them both times. At that time they were ranked 16 and after losing both games and 1 more in that stretch they were out of the polls until the week.

Bracketology predicts me as a 6 seed. Pretty sure i could get an at large bid. Wish me luck.

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

3-14 Rebounding is what got us here. My SR C has 4 boards and 3 were off their first few shots. My SR PF used to be a COF but now he has a star has 2 ast and a steal.

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

Wow! Boris Zamore SO SG just came off and is 3-3 from the arc. Suprising because he is only rated 72 3pt and CONS 67. As long as he is open ill keep feeding it to him.
18-30 3:36 in the first. last postw as around 11 min mark (15min)

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

The game now is a full blown blowout. 25-55 and their star shooters are 1-10 and 3-10 10 mins to go
