Countryboy - doesn't the "Gameplan" option on the setup page (before you begin the game) give you the option to do this very thing?

countryboy, I am seeing about 10-15 attempts a game from each team. For me to get that high, I have to go strong which at times leads to me losing the ball. Kind of pick your poison, but I am getting better in that regard.

Unfortunately, none of those options seem to actually do anything. It does not matter what changes I make on that screen, my team always starts every game in 4-out motion and 1/4 court man to man.

PS I really LOVE how the 1-2-1-1 press works in this game. It is NOT perfect by any means, but it is FAR above and beyond what any college basketball game has been able to do in the past. There is a brilliant balance of risk and reward, where I am able to force a good number of turnovers and get some easy buckets, but often the CPU breaks the press and scores easy baskets of their own.

Also, I think alot of these sliders and settings are going to depend a very good deal on what teams are playing. With Harvard against other small schools, with all fouls and fatigue set at 65, I was getting 20+ free throws per game for me and for CPU, and two players getting 35 mins and other starters 20-30 mins. But when I played as USF against Villanova with those same settings I only saw about 15 fouls all game, and I was able to play several of my players almost the entire 40 minutes. So I think the team has a lot to do with it.

WazzuRC,

I just got to simming another season today, but it seemed like every ESPN 100 player signed with majors. There wasn't one that signed with a lower team. There were still some that hadn't signed, and I wasn't able to see where they went because after the off season recruiting is over you can't go to the recruting screen to see where players signed.

Also, this was just in the off season recruiting, because in season you are only able to see your short list, not the ESPN 100.

it that is what its used for then its not working properly. I set my option to press on full court defense, but my guys play half court after a made basket. I have to call for a press and then if I want to switch to zone in the half court, I have to call that as well.
