***official college hoops 2k6 coach mode discussion***

this is gonna be our home fellas. just like last year. let's keep this thing going and confine all of our convo to this thread. all you thumb jockies keep of the grass.



first things first, when is the best time to call your play? i mean, if you do it too early your pg is rushing. if you wait a bit too long then they'll call whatever play you ran previously again. also, the only quick play that seems to work is quick p&r.

I wasn't aware VG sport titles had coach modes available.

I begin to call the play when my pg crosses half-court. If you call a play after another play is being run they will setup again and run the new play.

I have never used the quick plays. Do they work well?

I have fouls maxed out on AA and am having better results with the lack of fouls.

Dont bump up the 3 pt tendency or your pg will think that he is Jordan!

i'm coaching on default all-american w/ jistic's nba 2k6 foul settings and i still have guys thinking they're jordan. then again, i've been playing with binghamton all day using a spreadsheet template that i made for substitutions so that i'll know who can do what on the court. i've finally thrown overall ratings out of the window and have begun to break players down. for the most part, every player on your team can help you do SOMETHING. i think binghamton will be my legacy team. i only lost to wake by 7 pts. woo hoo!

since ratings are so important to us, what is a serviceable rating? like, what is the lowest that a player can be rating in a given category? for example, i've got a guard on binghamton's roster that has a "0" for dunking. if "0" is the lowest you can have then say a player with a 65 shouldn't be absolutely terrible right?

anyone know how to call for a foul in late game situations in coach mode?

I sim until I reach the conf tourney and this year I have a fair team. Starting 5 in the 60's. I have a winning season but when I began the tourney my best 2 players are injured. My C and PG! I won a close one in the opening round and hope that my players can be ready for the big dance if I can win the conf.

I saw last night a great battle for a rebound where they tipped the ball up 3-4 times before anyone got control of the rebound. I have seen some cool no calls on charging and some over the back calls. Some leaners in the post.

This game is great!
