Thanks will do.

go irish-also you could of used all your points or you might not have did the right steps in order to offer that kid a scholarship. Once you do certain tasks it will open up another. Under the tasks it lists the prerequistes for what needs to be done in order for you to unlock a scholarship.

I played ten minute halves last night and had a total of six offensive rebounds. I was using Cole Aldrich from KU on defense to rebound. The CPU had around the same amount. I'm very happy with that amount at this time.

I've yet to miss from the free throw line, nor has the CPU. I'm hoping it's not similar to 2K where the CPU team shooting the free throws has a high probability to get the rebound off the miss. That used to drive me crazy!

Anyone think it's possible that a patch can address the names of the CPU players being shown on the court? I'd like to have an idea who I'm guarding and who has the hot hand. I played Davidson very briefly, but was easily able to pick out Curry. However, when I played against Mizzou, I had no idea who I was guarding at the time.

Is there a way after a made shot by the CPU, to quickly get the ball up the court? It's a minor gripe, but there are times I like to push the ball up the court quickly and perhaps catch the CPU napping. What I am finding is that the guard bringing the ball up the court is calling out plays, and even if I push on the right trigger to try and speed up, the game doesn't allow me to. I'm sure those of you who use UNC would be rather annoyed by this.

Thanks. I never saw that in the demo so I was just wondering. I'm sure it doesn't bother most people but you would think that a PS3 game would have a variety of made shots. It just makes the game better and more realistic.

I really hate this. It was one of my main complaints in MM08. This combined with the lack of stat overlays or mention by the commentators of a hot/cold player really keeps me guessing most of the game. I really wish they would have done a better job with this. CH 2k8 has really spoiled me.

I agree K_rob, however Nessler does point out the player who has the hot hand in his commnetary. Generally, it's after a made basket by the CPU player. Last night, Curry hit three in a row and immediately they made a comment that's he's got the hot hand and everything should go through him.

But, there's no excuse not to have the player's names under them.

I had the same question. Iwas just messing around with recruiting last night and used all my points the first day of the season...I thought it would be like Football and I would get points the next week too. Is this not the case. How does recruiting work? If this isn't the place to ask, I'm sorry.
