But what a season, I've got my top 3 scorers back (PG, SF, PF) and I somehow lured in a 4 star SG with 81 3pt to Cal Poly as well. Looking forward to year two! This game's awesome.
    That's an awesome story, bro...

    I just got a Transfer from USC. A 4-Star, 80 OVR Jr. SG. He must've remembered me from the Tourney, haha. He's quite an Athlete at SG, but only 75 OVR 3-Pt. shot.

    In my Offense, I need my SG to be able to rain some 3's at times. However, I definitely need an SG.

    I'll find out soon, but I'm wondering if he'll have to sit during his Transfer Year?? I'm sure it's the same as Football...

      During the Recap, USC lost 2 Juniors. The SG to me, and also their SF to Missouri State.

        Hey guys, I've been playing this game for a while but have some questions.

        Will using custom playbooks for the CPU get them to attack the paint more? I don't see them try and get it inside enough. Any tips?

        I play on MOP so my slider tweaks are probably a bit out of whack for some but after playing this game for over 2 years now they provide the best challenge for me. I have CPU close shot tendency at 55, Midrange tendency at 85 since they don't take enough midrange shots even when open, 3pt shot tendency at 30 since they do tend to chuck 3s on MOP, and drive tendency at 45. I've found these to give me the best results, in that the CPU attacks on the drive when I get out of position or jump at the pumpfake, and tries to work it inside w/ their bigs as well. But they still do take a fair amt of 3s, so don't be worried about the low 3pt tendency. Hope that helps.

        15 minute halves seem to work well for me, I have game speed set to 60. Is this a good match? I average around 75 points per game.

        15 min halves are perfect IMO. I average between 60-75 ppg, though there are some up tempo games where I get to the 80s.

        What should the foul settings be at? I've got charging at 100 because you don't really see it enough, blocking at 66, shooting at 65, and loose ball at 100.

        I have charging at 100 as well, get a decent amt of charges when I position correctly on the CPU's drives usually on the fast break. Blocking at 50, reaching at 45 though that could go up, shooting at 50 though I guess that could go up too, and loose ball at 100 which I guess relates to over the back.

        Is goaltending broken? I have it turned off but I was just wondering.

        Yeah goaltending is broken lol. It's probably my only gripe w/ this game, but you just have to be disciplined and extra sensitive w/ timing on certain rebounds, though I still slip up once every few games. Don't worry about turning it off, I turned off the 5 sec closely guarded since plays develop so slowly and I was getting called for it too much waiting for my plays to develop.
        Hope that helps bro.

          Yeah I turn goaltending off, it's too frustrating to get rebounds off the rim and be called for it. Good thing is you don't see TOO many goaltend moments with it off.

            I'll try the changes to tendencies, see how it works. I'm pretty happy with my sliders for now. I play on All-American (I think that's the 2nd highest) and am not sure if I'm ready for MOP.

              Great advice but no sellers on Amazon will ship international at the moment. Sold out on Gamestop and nothing on EBay for international. How unlucky.

              I guess I'll have to get someone to send me a copy.

                    I got this game for 3 dollars in March. Best 3 dollars I've spent.

                        Amazon charges $4 US to ship to Europe standard mail. Do you have paypal? I would make it worth your trouble.

                          Well time to pick this game back up again. Watched Iona vs Purdue earlier and got the itch. Here we go, CH2k8 has returned to own my soul.

                            I do in fact have a PayPal account, but I've never used it.

                            In fact, I'm not even sure of how to use it...but I'm sure I could figure it out.

                            Do you have XBox 360, or PS3?? XBox 360 is in fact in stock at the Gamestop in my City. ($5.99 USD).

                            However the PS3 version ($2.99 USD), is in the next City over from me...at the damn mall, haha. Hate going to the mall...haha.

                              Sadly, I have a PS3. There are several 360 versions on EBay for international users but only mega expensive PS3 versions.

                              If you get your Paypal looked out I can reimburse you (and then some) or gift you something via Steam or something else with digital distribution. Fancy any English toffee? lol

                                LMAO about offering some English Toffee...

                                Nah, PS3 is the Shiznit...don't say "unfortunately." Amazon might have it cheaper because they probably have a distribution center in England or something.

                                As far as I can tell, looks like in order to ship via USPS, it would take 3-5 Biz Days, and cost $29.95, USD. Man, I hate the damn rip-off of the shipping costs.

                                That's the "Flat Rate Envelope" they offer.

                                If I go "Flat Rate Padded Envelope," it's $13.25 USD, but it'll take 6-10 Biz Days to get to you.

                                ---

                                Which would you rather??

                                I also have my PayPal account active now...not sure how to go about doing it with the PayPal, though.
