I just had to share these. I've been having great games using the 2Kshare roster from 2007. I've been playing the same career for nearly 7 years real-time and 32 seasons simulation time.
Personally, I play a Pitino-style game with pressing and fastbreaks whenever possible.
Despite the CPU players' speed advantage, it is not impossible to drive and post. Fastbreaks are difficult and sometimes impossible; I may tweak user speed in the future. Presently I am at North Carolina, so I have size and speed on the regular. I've had a bunch of guys go pro the last 3-4 seasons, so I'm left with only two 5-stars.
I'm a basketball junkie so my goal is ultimate realism. Of course i realize this is a video game, so some realism is sacrificed to keep play balanced and box scores realistic.
I would love hearing your experiences if you try these.
And, I'm open for questions.

Offensive Rebounding: 100 100
Defensive Rebounding: 50 50 Increased from 0 to 10 initially, but my team rated 95 in Rebounding is beaten regularly by teams rated in the 80's. This may be a limitation; I've just increased it back to 50 to see if it behaves differently next game.
Block: 100 100
Steal: 0 100
Speed: 50 50 I was getting 0 fast-break points and giving up 20 in some regular season games. In a recent Sweet 16 game I gave up 6 and got 2 after increasing my Speed from 22 to 25. Other gameplay stayed balanced. 05-29-2014 User Speed increased to 50: FGA are up for both sides a little too much, but the college basketball feel is still there. This is the limitation of the software, but it's 2K so everything else is pretty tight.
