Draft Day Sports: College Basketball 22 Review - Embrace the Madness

[steelerfan]

I started the Demo today and I'm thinking the same as canes21 about the football games. I just don't care about the NBA at all so I'm not interested in that one.

Unless I'm missing something, there's no way to remove players from your Call List other than clearing the entire list, is there? I'd like to be able to take particular players off without clearing and rebuilding the entire list. Is that possible?

Go into that player's card, click their name on the list, and you can remove them from the list.

I finished the first year. The demo does limit you to only the first season, at least in a Challenge Mode career. I went ahead and bought it, though. The game is a blast and so much better than the previous games of theirs I played years ago.

I'm assuming that if you buy the full version you'll be able to continue the Challenge Mode that you started in the demo. Is that right?

I'm not sure I'll want to continue (I've only just begun practice). Just curious.

I'm at Illinois State, fwiw.

I know that some people probably hate it in real life and might hate it in the game too, but I'll say it again, the Transfer Portal adds such an incredible extra dimension to the game.

I lost 4 players after one season, but replaced them with some players who probably saved my job. The next year I was quite pleased that I didn't have anyone transfer, but I knew that that was probably going to be an anomaly, and yep after the next season, I lost 5 players, I had anticipated 4 of them leaving, but that 5 guy was a tough loss.

Throw in the fact that 2 of the 3 recruits that I brought in seem like complete busts(it's messed up but hopefully they'll transfer too, when they don't only play in garbage time this season) and I'm scrambling to put together a solid rotation, it's good stuff.

Yes, I purchased the game and continued.

Thank god the portal does exist. I lost 3 players, none that really were going to have an impact, so no biggie, and held onto the one freshman I actually expected to leave. Anyways, those 3 leaving opened up 3 scholarships and I was able to bring in a quality PG and C that are hopefully going to help this year not be as down as I expected.

The PG is potentially going to be the best player on the team, or 2nd best, and he's only a sophomore. The C is easily the best big man on the roster now, also a sophomore.

Getting 2 quality sophomores may end up being more important than I anticipated because I'm in November of year 2 and I literally have no recruits interested in my team and have legit concerns I won't get any commitments this year.

Wow, you serious? There demo I swear never limited you, like what is the point of 7 days if you can only use it through 1 season? LOL. Odd decision.. either way, yeah the college bball game is their best.

Hopefully more OS guys can speak about College Football and Pro Football versions.

I guess I'm going to find out how much of a hit to Prestige will be taken for cutting a player.

My #4 SG was causing problems in practice. I told him to clean his act up and he lashed out so I cut him on the eve of the season opener.

He was a 1* with 1* potential so I was happy to open the scholarship up. I only had 2 scholarships and I got verbals from a 2* and then a 3* PG (who I'm not confident will do well enough on the SATs) and I still need a SF so that scholarship will now go to good use.
