i just realize recruit ranking go up and down as you progress through your season.

you also can clean up your short list by clicking on the player you dont want and hitting Square (ps3) to delete him off the board.

Holy crap, thank you. It would be nice if the developers told us this earlier.

quick question

can you edit players hair? I noticed Pat Patterson has no Fro and Florida's Dan Werner has long hair. Thanks!

to an extent. You are given a set amount of hair styles based on the player's complexion you choose. Its really limited this year.

I'm trying to make this game grow on me but after 2 days it hasn't. I'm thoroughly disappointed. The payers just look and feel awkward. They don't even look like they belong on the courts. I can't quite put my finger on it but it looks like the players were designed for another game and they were pasted on these courts. I will admit that this is better than past EA basketball efforts but I just can't see myself enjoying this game that much. I'm willing to play more and give it more time but so far, I'm not real pleased.

3 games into my new updated dynasty(authentic schedules, post patch) and I am absolutely loving this game. 3 different games, 3 different flows.

Morehead State was a nip and tuck game through the first half as the score was 31-25 me at the half. In the 2nd half, we flexed our muscles, settled down against their 1-3-1 and put up 46 second half points onto a 77-54 victory. We opened the second half on a 18-0 run.

Next was Western Kentucky and the rout was on from the beginning. I opened up 15-0 on them and they burned 2 timeouts in the first 5 minutes. I led 41-26 after the half. Second half was pretty much the same although they crept back in after I put in the bench(Steiden played 7 minutes) and I cruised to a 76-49 victory.

Last game I played was vs Indiana State and we struggled in the first 8 minutes or so. Couldn't get into rhythm offensively, turned the ball over too often and let them hang around. I was up only 10 at the half. The second half, just like the MSU game, we flexed our muscles and routed them 88-60. We were up 37 before we put in the bench and they went on a 12-4 run in the last 4 minutes.

Damn, I am loving this game.

Hopefully I'll be picking up the game today, because I'm really having that college basketball itch right about now.
