No. But that did happen to me a year or so ago while I was playing around year 28 of my NCAA Football 2004. I had this bad @#$ receiver for Texas, he was WR of the year, and a Heisman winner. During like Texas real game to aTm which the Longhorns lost, I swear for a split second I thought to myself.."we're the HELL is Jones at?" Really disappointed in myself after that.

this is the greatest sports game ever for me. no game can match the intensity. i've never felt attached to a team in any college b-ball i've played until now. i started my closed legacy thinking i'll just do 2 seasons and move on to the next school but i'm now in my 4th season. i landed a solid C and SF after my 2nd season and they are the reason i'm still at my school. i want to see both these guys graduate. now in my 4th season, i'm close to signing a 4* pg. i'm determined to make my team into a contender.

in my 3rd season, i made it to the 2nd round of the tournament and faced Gonzaga. i thought i was going to get blown out but only lost by 9. i was bitter after the game because it was close until the last 2 minutes so i scheduled a game for the following season. i was hyped for the game because my team was improved with 3 solid recruits. i ended up losing the game by 35. i'm going to schedule Gonzaga until i beat them.

A very surprising, yes. I have never been a big video basketball guy, until trying this game last year, and then this year. This year is the first year I have tried a dynasty. I finally chose UConn, for what reason I don't know. I have become so attached to this team, just like teams I have coached in real life. When I watch UConn in real life, I am always second guessing Calhoun's coaching decisions, and the way he substitutes. I am kind of jealous, those are my guys he is running. Kind of creepy, but man is this game fun.

Couldn't agree with you more, Drew. I'm in Year 3 of my career legacy, my first year at Gonzaga. I managed to tear through the regular season with a 32-1 record, going unbeaten in a very weak WCC but I played a tough enough non-conference slate to earn a #1 seed in the NCAA's. I have a 2nd round game against Indiana to play at some point.

I can honestly see myself playing through this career legacy mode until something better comes along in the way of a college basketball game. Since it appears that won't happen, it looks like I'm going to be in it for the long haul with my coaching career.

Not to take this thread of tangent, but is this game is as good or better as The Show 07 or 08? I haven't played the Show, so I couldn't imagine a game being as good as this, or better.

You can't compare a basketball game to a baseball game. That's like saying, "Who's a better player, A-Rod or Kobe?"
