Gus Johnson is corny

I thought shooting percentages were high on demo (played on all conference). I assume retail version plays pretty different?

Nice to hear that sim engine & stats are really improved.

Anybody had the chance to mess up with recruiting? I understand it's basically the same, but with less 5 star recruits and it is much harder to land 5 star guys with smaller schools?

How is the recruiting logic for AI? Anybody had the chance to simulate a few seasons ahead? Schools like Duke, Kansas, Kentucky stay always strong?

It looked like the big schools were landing the big fish so to speak when I simmed some dynasties.

Keep in mind I do like this game but sheesh:

Well I have some bad news to report about recruiting:

Signed 4 guys in the top 100 with UVA in the third week, was way too easy, I don't think much of anything has changed about this aspect of the game at all.

The # 4 overall prospect( a 6'2" SG mind you) had a c- offensive game, you would be lucky to scratch the top 250 with a rating like that in reality. I guess that equates to an outside shot of about 70 which is no better than a role player on any run of the mill team on this game.

Also VT signed 4 one *star recruits, not gonna be real competitive in the coming years. I though they worked on the sim engine? Jeez?

Does look like more top 100 guys are signing with the schools they should be though and not Maryland Baltimore county.

I really wish we had 2 sliders, defensive awareness and user and cpu speed, I am having a difficult time finding a level to play on, varsity feels more realistic but is far to easy score, AC seems to detract from user players ability to move freely in space.

Putting the cpu blocks on zero I still had an ED Davis shot blocked by a 6'6" PF from Pacific.

Anyone else notice that the ESPN presntaion somtimes skips the starting lineups for the second team or shows them for a brief mili-second?

Without being able to lower the CPU's speed in transition I simply cannot play on AC the ratings are not true to form on that level, and varsity is too easy, anybody have any slider suggestions?

You are right about AC, up tempo feel regardless of the style of the offense both human and ai. I tried AA and liked the feel better but still quick. I am going to play around with varsity sliders to play challanging - will post soon

Thanks Ruben for checking, hopefully they can add missing ones in via the update.
