Best college basketball game

Very fun game to play and is the perfect simulation for me, only thing I would change is to show if your players got drafted and where they went, so that way I could maybe run a different simulation in something like bbgm by importing these players, overall my favourite college basketball game.

Perfect game?

Fun game I can play for hours. I wish they would add a feature where you could sim in game buys that is. Almost perfect for a mobile game.

Blue blood

You should make it where there is different difficulties the easy mode is where you can see the players stars all season normal mode so when you scout the player you can see how many stars he has when you full scout all his rating and the hard level you don’t get to see any star just the there ratings then the impossible level where you can see ratings or stars only stats

Love this game

First of all—like the title says—I love this game; the recruitment, the stats, the real-life feel of it all. So much fun.

I just wish it could be a little simpler/user friendly. It does feel pretty bare-bones. Functional, but not FUN-ctional, if you know what I mean.

For example, every year you have to recruit, bring in freshmen, and then you’re supposed to set settings FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL PLAYER. It can be very tedious and there’s nothing to remind you. Half the time I forget!

Another thing I wish this game would do is tell you what you need most (goes back to being fun and user friendly). For example, let’s say your center is a senior and you power forward is a senior. You go after some bluechip guys—maybe 2 PFs and 1 center for simplicity. Let’s also say that the center goes somewhere else but you get the two PFs you wanted. Great. Except when the game automatically puts one of those PFs at your starting center spot. It becomes so much to manage that you don’t realize you need an ACTUAL CENTER, and this guy gets stuck at center when he’s undersized. It does make a difference and I wish there were features to fix it.

Other than those nitpicks, it’s a great game and I’ve killed hours making Indiana (Bloomington in-game) back into a Blue Blood!

Great game

I love this game have been playing it for a while now but they should make it easier to win the natty and win games cause it makes no sense that I have a 23-0 Duke team and I lose by 100 to Kent st and there was one season when I lost by 50+ points for 3 to 4 games in a row so I think they should make it easy to win the championship and win games
