Why can't you follow? :wink:

Cal finished this season 17-15, he's 5-0. He's shooting like 60% every game. In real life they would have gotten killed by Wisconsin and Memphis, and probably Kansas St. There just isn't much realism. I just prefer to read dynasties with realism, nothing against chestnutz. Good luck.

Alright then, I'll edit the sliders even furthermore. They're already in the CPU favor and on MOP, so any suggestions to make it harder would be welcome.

Cal beating Wisconsin, Memphis and K-State sounds realistic to me. Remember, you can't cheat or commit recuiting violations in this game, can't provide jobs for recruits' dads, or leave brown paper bags full of cash lying around, the kind of advantages coaches like John Calipari, Bo Ryan and Bob Huggins have in real life.

not really. Brian Butch and Joe Krabberhoft should've held things together for Wisconsin against cal. Memphis is self explanitory. And Michael Beasley should've had a great game.

But does it really matter what SHOULD have happened? Duke SHOULD have beaten West Virginia, on paper they would've. But that's why you play the game. Beasley had a horrible game, maybe it was because I doubled him always, and like I said, Butch was injured for the game.

I think someone is a little bitter that Memphis was beaten. j/k

Duke is overrated in my opinion and West Virginia would probably beat them again (I hope!). I don't know. All that matters is that West Virginia did win and is going to the Sweet Sixteen!

Ok, how about lowering all of your shooting sliders by 10? If it were in the CPU advantage you wouldn't be shooting 60% against top teams.

Player Stats

So PF Ryan Anderson (82): 28.2 PPG (1st USA), 8.0 RPG (4th Pac10), 3.1 SPG (2nd USA), 24.3 MPG, 22/44 3pt (50%), 48/59 FT (81%)
Anderson has dominated arguably more than any other player this season so far. He's scored at least 20 in every game, which gives him a near 2 point lead over Kyle Hines for #1 PPG. He's also starting to become more of an all around player, getting rebounds and is 2nd in the nation in steals.

Sr C DeVon Hardin (79): 9.5 PPG, 6.9 RPG, 1.7 BPG, 22.5 MPG
Hardin is a defensive stalwart, but his offense still hasn't improved to his potential. He is a beast on the boards, and his experience has helped carry this team to a 10-1 record.

So PG Jerome Randle (75): 9.4 PPG, 5.5 APG, 2.0 SPG, 22.2 MPG, 8/22 3pt (36%)
Although he's only 5'9'', the young quickster out of Illinois has scored some very key buckets for the team, and is fantastic at taking care of the ball, with only 2.1 TOPG.

So SG Patrick Christopher (75): 7.5 PPG, 1.8 SPG, 23.5 MPG, 7/28 3pt (25%)
Although inconsistent from downtown, he is able to hit the big shot for Cal so far. He is a very good defender who is always in the right place at the right time.

So PF Jamal Boykin (70): 5.5 PPG, 2.5 RPG, 16.4 MPG
He took over Eric Vierneisel's starting spot at SF after the first game, and hasn't lost it yet. He can hit a wide open three, but is mainly a good role player. He may end up losing his starting spot to Jordan Wilkes.

Sr SF Eric Vierneisel (67): 5.0 PPG, 1.8 RPG, 14.6 MPG
One of the better shooters on the team, he is an experienced guard/forward with the fundamentals that coaches love.

So PG Nikola Knezevic (66): 2.4 PPG, 1.1 APG, 6.8 MPG
Good backup point guard that has some size (6'2'') and can distribute well.

So C Jordan Wilkes (65): 1.8 PPG, 1.3 RPG, 4.5 MPG
He hasn't played much, but he has come on strong towards the end of the month, especially against LSU, and could see more PT.


January schedule

1/3 vs. USC (8-2)
1/5 vs. #14 UCLA (7-3)
1/10 @ #8 Oregon (11-1)
1/12 @ Oregon St. (8-3)
1/17 vs. Arizona St. (6-6)
1/19 vs. Arizona (6-5)
1/26 vs. #17 Stanford (11-1)
1/31 @ #16 Washington St. (9-3)

The Bears face a brutal schedule, going up against all .500 or better teams, and 4 ranked teams. Although they only have 3 road games, there's no doubt we'll really see how good this team is, starting with USC on Thursday.
