    Just Grabbed a Copy!

    Are there any 2k8 heads that can explain the wow factors, and heads up things I need to know, and other tips in general?

    The esoteric information thread is a good start: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...ss-arcane.html

    I'm a fan of rspencer's 20-minute sliders, though everyone has a different preference: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...e-sliders.html

    Let me know if you have any specific questions and myself or others will answer.

          In my first Legacy game I scheduled North Carolina, I'm North Florida. Lst by 50 lol. I had them in close by like 14, then in like 30 seconds they drip off 15 strait and there was no looking back.

          Having trouble keeping my guys in front of their man. Is it just because my team sucks?

          I have a guy with a 3 on his icon, but he went 0 for forever. Any tips, missed probably 4 wide open 3s.

          Brightspot was my Center, he had 16 pt and 5 boards.

          I'm playing with the default settings, I went 17/47 they went 37/5 .

            After calling every game copy in Northern Colorado today, I picked up a copy of 2k8 for 10 bucks for the PS3. Was playing NCAA 10 for a long time and can't believe I didn't pick this up earlier. Now I'm addicted to 2k8

              What do you like about it? I've found the recruiting to be very difficult and confusing myself. The gameplay and momentum is awesome though, just wish the court was spaced a bit more, and need to learn how to run offenses.

                Recruiting is one of the best parts of this game. It takes a while to get used to. My recommendation would be for you to check out some of the recruiting guides that are on this forum. Even though it's been 7 years since this game came out, it still lives on because of the incredible roster updates and deep recruiting.

                  It's seems more realistic then NCAA10. I agree their needs to be more room. I going to try different sliders tonight. I've already downloaded the updated rosters. I also haven't tried the recruiting.

                    I think playing with the High or 2K view helps with the spacing compared to the broadcast camera. That being said, there still isn't enough spacing, as you said, but it is what it is at this point.

                      This is the greatest and most realistic sports game I have ever played. And I am more of a football fan. enjoy!

                        Quick question, I used to have this game and I recently reacquired it, but in closed legacy do you get job offers to coach at different schools after raising your low level program?

                          Yes, you do. Have to stay at a school at least 2 (I think) seasons though.

                            It is a minimum of 2 seasons every time you change jobs. So once you start a closed legacy you can't get a new job offer until you have been at that school for 2 full seasons. Once you move from one school to another you can't take a new job until you have completed 2 seasons at that school.
                            Relax, it's just a video game!

                              I just got this today. Scared the disc wouldn't work cuz it is so scratched up. I played a quick game using the default rosters and default 10 min sliders and beat Wisconsin (with Illinois) 41-36. So far I think it is pretty good and I'm loving the way it plays. Now if i can only figure out how to do certain things.
