It is just fine. People need to win more and complain less. Those that want to rush into Big 6 jobs would get creamed in those jobs if they got them. It's a long slow wait, but everyone has to do it and most everyone benefits from the wait, whether they know it or not.

I'd run train on close to half the current big 6 coaches.

One man train. Something I wouldn't mind seeing before leaving this world.

wake forest is crazy. i thought about going to wake from pitt 3 seasons ago and I was not qualified despite having 4 straight NTs (2 2nd rd and 1 E8) at another bcs school. now i wouldn't want that job at all, because the roster is destroyed, your prestige is too low to compete with all the schools around it, and in that awesome conference you're gonna be a doormat for a long time.

sidenote....seeing that list of results from some really great coaches at midmajors is wild. you have to appreciate what drsnell (at texas southern) and pdanao (at utah) have done in smith, consistently winning NT games from the MWC. from my experience at colorado state in that world, the most frustrating thing at those kind of schools is that even when the stars align and you get a superstar recruit supported by your high-potential upperclassmen, everything's ruined with just 1 bad matchup in the NT or when your superstar goes EE (EEs are so much more costly at midmajors who get that quality of player infrequently!). it's tough to win NT games consistently from a midmajor.

but i digress......it's crazy, I agree with you guys. the job logic is wack. if for no other reason than avoiding sim coaches at desirable jobs, it needs to be tweaked. not sure what to add though, this stuff has been said ad nauseum at this point.

the0nly, you could be close though - it would have been better to keep making the NT of course.

Here's an example you might have missed doing your research -

48	dacj501	25-5	9-2	13-2	3-1	14-2		35	103	B	Conf Champion CT Champion NT (1st Round)
47	dacj501	30-2	8-0	17-1	5-1	16-0	22	20	90	B	Conf Champion CT Champion NT (Sweet 16)
46	dacj501	27-4	12-1	11-2	4-1	14-2	25	27	81	B-	CT Champion NT (2nd Round)
45	dacj501	17-13	8-6	6-6	3-1	10-6		85	68	C+
44	dacj501	24-6	9-2	13-2	2-2	16-0		32	69	C+	Conf Champion NT At-large Bid NT (1st Round)
43	dacj501	9-18	6-7	3-10	0-1	7-9		197	87	C-
42	dacj501	22-7	9-2	11-4	2-1	11-5		147	324	C-
41	dacj501	6-22	4-12	1-9	1-1	5-11		315	313	C-

That was my run at Marquette in Phelan. After that last season I moved to Florida...

You started c- and didn't make your first second round appearance until season 5 there

you're right - I missed that you were looking at D- even though it was right there...

But if whatif lets you move up to a Big 6 quicker then they'll lose the opportunity to milk an extra five seasons (maybe more) worth of cash from your bank account.

Don't really care to spend 12$ each season I paid 10$ every three months and a extra 12$ on the game for a 2nd team in what they called utopia but that game is dying and is way to restrictive on how to make cash plus it was free. Now here is the thing what if I make my money back on youtube each month with my fifa 17, nba 2k17 ,and a hoop dynasty series . I'll eventully make my money back plus more. I am also going into music which I have expereince in and the clothing line in the future. Most of my music gets around 1k a piece my latest freestyle last time I check got around 600 views for free without paying per view. My highest video got 4k. I am going to eventully pay google back so I can advertise and gain more money per 1,000 views on selected videos. I only got 24$ that I owe to google. I owe 20$ to facebook but they never contact me about the money so i'll pay that back when I can and have the money set.

I keep hearing how expensive this is to play .. but it really is not that expensive. If you were to by a 10 pack initially, then this is the breakdown.

So you would have paid $99.95 /10 = $9.95 / season for the initial buy in.

If you play 10 seasons then it comes time to renew. Let's assume you did this for performance during the 10 seasons:

4 seasons, miss post season play: 4 x $1.50 = $6 credits
3 Seasons 1st Round: 3 x$3.00 = $9 credits
2 Seasons 2nd Round: 2 x $5.00 = $10 Credits
1 Season Sweet 16: 1 x $10.00 = $10 Credits

That performance, which is not really that hard to get, gives you $35.00 in credits ... 99.95-$35.00=69.95 to renew or $7.00/season

If you instead were to get 2 misses, 2 first round, 2 second round, 2 sweet sixteen, and 2 elite eights .. that would be 3+6+10+20+30=$69.00 in credits ... or $99.95 - $69.00 = 30.95 or $3.10/season when you buy a new 10 pack.

If you happen to play for a championship and lose, you get 4000 reward points, or 2 free seasons .. win a championship, 6000 reward points or 3 free seasons.

So, if you do moderately well, the cost is $7 per season, if you do well it is $3.10 per season, and if you do really well it can be almost free. Even if you absolutely suck (never make the NT), it is $9.95 - $1.50 = $8.45 per season for the renewals.

How long is a season .. for 2x world it is 30 days ... for a 1x world it is 48 days.

So, per month, it would be (max): ($8.45 / 30 days) x (365 days / year x year/12 months) = $8.57 / month for 2x world
or ($8.45 / 48 days) x (365 days / year x year/12 months) = $8.57 / month for 1x world = $5.36 / month for 1x world

And those numbers are if you NEVER go to the NT .. if you buy 10 packs, after playing the first 10 pack.

Is that too expensive? For some people it will be, for others it will not. It is no more than one would pay in a year to join a Rivals or 247 Sports subscription for a college team (as an example). Is this game that important to you? One has to answer that for themselves .. but if you get at all good at the game, the cost decreases significantly.

Do those credits last long enough to use them all if you renew every ten seasons?

They are good for 1 year from the time they are issued.. So in a 2x world yes. In a 1x world, you have to pay once a year.

not sure that is always true anymore. They changed the way credits expire so that it somehow accounts for seasons remaining or something according to CS, but some of them expire faster than they used...

I have a question regarding credits received for non NT seasons: Hoops Dynasty - World 10, Season 85 $2.00 Hoops Dynasty 8/19/2015 5:01 PM 12/17/2015 5:01 PM Hoops Dynasty - World 9, Season 84 $1.25 Hoops Dynasty 6/29/2015 5:01 PM 2/24/2016 5:01 PM Hoops Dynasty - World 10, Season 84 $1.50 Hoops Dynasty 7/19/2015 5:01 PM 3/15/2016 5:01 PM HD World 9 Advanced to Second Round $5.00 Hoops Dynasty 8/3/2015 2:47 AM 8/3/2016 2:47 AM HD World 9 Advanced to Second Round $5.00 Hoops Dynasty 9/4/2015 2:20 AM 9/4/2016 2:20 AM Did the expiration date for non-NT credits get adjusted? Non - NT season credits issued in June and July of this year expire about 8 months later. Non NT credit issued in August expires 4 months later. My NT credits from August and Sept both expire in 12 months still. Was there some change in how credits work?

Hi dacj501, Yes, the expiration date of these credits can adjust as how many seasons you have remaining is a factor.

ETA: True for NT credits, not true for the missing the tourney credits...

Good to know.. I have 10 teams, so I cash mine in at least once every 3 months.

Or you could, you know, get a job or something.

I hope I'm not just having a blonde moment, but ...
"Yes, the expiration date of these credits can adjust as how many seasons you have remaining is a factor."

Does that answer the question of how long credits last? That seems to be missing. Or does it just say some last longer than others and leave it to us to guess? Is there any way to actually know when credits expire? I like the game so far well enough to re-up, but I'd like not to waste credits, either.

Thanks!
