Hi all. On the box score card, what does SCP, BP, and FBP stand for? I figured FBP is fast break plays i think, but what are the other two?

Ok another question!! Does anyone know how school prestige is calculated? I was told it's all about the NT but I'm inclined to think otherwise after this season. I was at a B prestige when I took my school 2 seasons ago. It dropped from the B+ it had before I got the job. I went back to a B+ after a first round loss in the NT. this season I made it to the 2nd round and I'm still a B+!! what gives?

It's based on several seasons.  Making the 2nd round probably isn't enough to make a difference.

...to make a difference @ B+. if you had a C prestige, it would have gone up.

I thought several seasons was only for D1 schools! I wish they had a better write up on this game! It seems like there's a secret society of coaches who know what's really good.....

I've read all and a lot of that stuff in the developer chat is years old! Is it still relevant today?

Prestige is looked at on a four-season block ... postseason success is the biggest, but also W-L and rpi are factored in, and things like conference championships are as well but in a minor way.

Your school's history is actually remarkably consistent -- first or second round, with 8-12 losses and an rpi between 28 and 44 every season. That would be a B+/A-. Your latest season isn't enough to boost you beyond that.

Support confirmed a few months ago that at D3 prestige is actually a floating value, effectively giving it an infinite window.  But a huge chunk is based on the previous season.

Also, don't forget that prestige is a numeric value expressed as a letter grade. The B+ you have now is a higher B+ than you had before, and for things like recruiting the engine does account for the difference... (another reason to remember in a battle that if you see the other team is a C+ and you are a B-, you could be mere decimals away from actually having the same prestige, so try to account for that...)
