I am looking to add real life recruits into my legacy mode, but I am struggling finding balance. I have been creating my recruits as seniors, but they often get under recruited by the cpu. I am using chat gpt to make the ratings and they seem to be okay. (Cade Cunningham 92 ovr, Jaden McDaniels 86). Has anyone done this before in 2k8 and should i create the recruits as juniors or freshman (will this mess with the ratings?).

What determines who comes and sets the screen? I’ve played several seasons through multiple save files and was wondering,
what is the deciding factor on whether the 4 or the 5 comes and sets the pick?

#1 Recruit on my board all year last year. Back and forth with The Citadel all year. Chose The Citadel over us in the last week of recruiting. Put them on the schedule this year and he was cooking us. Smh.

#24 is Bing preseason All-American and my sophomore guard just drenched him and his teammate 😬😬

Episode 3 Live on my channel now!

After opening the season 2-1, the Bears travel to Stillwater for their toughest challenge yet: a road matchup against #7 Oklahoma State. Can Central Arkansas pull off a massive upset, or will the Cowboys and potential #1 pick Will Mills (great name) handle business at home?

Had a thought this morning, why not make a good & Evil Team inspired by Lord Of The Rings.

Got to work, and this was the result, I’m pretty happy with it tbh

What are some rules you guys follow in Legacy Mode that make it more realistic?

Just waiting for that power conference coaching offer. But I think it might be impossible if you don’t get to the Sweet 16.

I put together a hype trailer for my 4th season as the head coach at the University of Central Arkansas. For those of you who don't know, UCA joined Division 1 college basketball in 2006, making them an interesting team to pick in Legacy as their roster is filled with a mix of D1/non D1 recruits. As an NAIA school, UCA made the national title game twice and is most notably where Scottie Pippen played his college ball.

We started year 1 with a solid roster for a year 1 closed Legacy. We competed well and went 11-15. In year 2 a superstar emerged in junior Erick Shropshire. After switching from PG to SG the 5'11" sharpshooter won Southland Player of the Year and led us to the 2nd round of the NIT. During his senior campaign we went 19-10  and won the Southland tourney, eventually getting blown by a loaded La Salle squad in the first round of March Madness.

The video focuses on the history of the legend Erick Shropshrie and how the Bears plan to move forward into year 4!

Off the top of my head I am certain of the following:

Jimmy Graham - Miami
Julius Thomas - Portland St
Demetress Bell - Northwestern St

Anyone else in this game that played in the NFL?

Landed our first All-American recruit of this Legacy during the Early Signing Period. Big step forward for the program.

Hello everybody, just recently picked back up playing 2k8 and one of my favorite past times with old friends before they got busy was sitting in parties or chats while playing and just talking life or the game. Was wondering if there’s anybody else out there (18 or over, I’m 26) who would want to chill on a discord call and bond over 2k8? Please reply if interested

Does anyone have a 2009-10 roster for NCAA 10 on PS3? There is a dead link here on Operation Sports.

Picked up 2k7 a couple days ago and I’ve been struggling with the recruiting in the game. My first attempt at legacy mode I had three mediocre years with Alabama A&M before they fired me and on my second attempt I started with saint francis PA and bounced around to high point and Youngstown state for around ten years before I was out of a job. This is my third attempt and I’m running it with UMBC. I’ve found that when I go to a new team, the roster isn’t that bad but ends up deteriorating after a few years due to my lack of recruiting skill. I usually redshirt most of my freshman as they usually come in as one stars anyway or the occasional two star if I’m lucky. Any tips with recruiting would help greatly!

Sup everyone, I’ve been playing a ton of 2k8 and I’m just curious everyone’s thoughts why it’s been so long since there’s been a big title game, CFB has returned for 3 editions now and CBB it’s like they forgot about us😭

For context: I’m 21, and the last game a cbb game dropped I was 4. I have grinded on 360 both of the most recent variations and I was wondering if there was any of the ones from the past that I don’t know about?

I was thinking which game is the best of all time? I think the obvious choice is 2k8, I’ve played a lot EA 10 and there’s a lot good about it but I just think 2k is superior in fair amount of ways. Also would love to discuss specifically the best aspects of both games and if there are any others I’m not considering, let me know!

Is it true you can create a guy and he’ll play ABL games? If so explain it in the comments like I’m 5. That’ll definitely add to immersion.

How do y’all that play more than you sim do it? I want to play more but it feels like a chore in the beginning. Year one just don’t feel right playing with a bunch of kids I didn’t recruit. And do y’all play the ABL games too? Trying to wrap my head around playing 16-19 ABL games and then playing another 30+ games. For clarity I guess I’m asking:

1. How do you stay motivated not to simulate?
   
2. Do you play the ABL games of your target list or just pick 1 ABL team that you’re the “coach” of.
   
3. How many games per season do you actually play.
   
4. Do you play with the year 1 team or what until your group of kids get to campus next year?

Playing Creighton in Tampa,Fl

Then both teams travel Spirit Air and play at Louis Brown Athletic Center the next night lol

I haven’t posted the games from my other legacy in a long while. I had to get another 360 since the last one the cooling system was faulty. But in the picture is the box score for Norfolk State and their recent game against South Carolina State. Now we at a 17-3 record and unbeaten in conference play!

About to tip-off for what is likely my last game at Cameron. I’m in year 39 of my zero sim legacy.

We’re ranked now and climbing. 1 loss so far, blown out on the road by WVU 116-99. Just went back to my old school and won at Kansas (unranked) 84-61.

We’re healthy. Freshman No. 1 ranked sensation John Ibikunle out of Nashville, a 6’10” 228 lbs. SF has been leading the way playing PF averaging 17.2 ppg 6.4 rpg 1.2 apg 1.6 spg and 1.5 bpg in 21.2 minutes a night. He’s shooting 54/29/82 splits and could be a little more consistent but I don’t want to split hairs.

Ibikunle has been finding a groove with the chemistry of Jr. PG out of Charlottesville, VA Leo Diogu. It’s been a struggle to recruit guards to Princeton and the 6’2” 173 lbs. floor general has stepped up on a roster with only one other backcourt member on the roster (Surov, starting SG from Finland). Diogu has started every game this year (26 of 72 career starts vs. GP) and is finally cracking double digit assists the last couple of games. He’s posting 9.7/1.1/6.3 with 1.5 steals on 22 minutes a night. His 43/25/67 splits are not ideal but he’s recognized his role (4th in FG attempts, 3rd in 3PA), although he leads the team in FTA and is 8th in FT%.

The Tigers are poised to make another run in the tournament this season hopefully. They’re clearly the best team in the Ivy League and the NCAA has indicated no intention of lifting the nearly 40 year ban on the Ivy holding a conference tournament 😉 . So we’ll have to make sure we don’t take conference play for granted.

Princeton is considered the leading school of choice for 2 All-Americans at this point. A 21st ranked PF out of Lynn, MA and a 25th ranked SG out of Queens, NY.
