Is there a "screw you" factor when your team is not good? I have upgraded my talent but am still on the low end in D3.

3 times in conference play my team has had a double-digit lead with less than 10 minutes to play and has lost EVERY TIME. Things that didn't happen the entire game somehow happen with regularity in the last 10 minutes.

I was just neck-and-neck with a very average team that is very average at shooting FTs. They proceeded to make 15-of-16 in the last few minutes.

The setup of the game is really good and I really enjoy many of the features, including the recruiting process. But getting very tired of this shaftola bull ****. Any advice?

A quick glance at your team tells me that you are seriously lacking talent. What level (D1, D2, or D3) of recruits are you scouting and signing? This game is 80-90% about recruiting the best players. The other 10-20% is game planning, team building, scheduling, etc. If you have questions about anything feel free to shoot me a site mail. I will see it more quickly that way.

You are seriously lacking talent.

I have a lot of feedback on how you can get better.

Please shoot me a sitemail as well as tg.

Since you're asking about the last 10 minutes, I have a guess about why its even worse then. Your Ath/DE is *terrible*. Usually I like team averages near 50/50 at the worst. And towards the end of games, as your players are getting tired, you foul a ridiculous amount. Also you're taking waaaay too many 3s with terrible shooters. Williams is the only guy on your team who should shoot at all IMO.

Agreed. I also would focus all of your time on recruiting and scouting when you are at a rebuilding HD team. With that talent, the most gameplanning will do will give you a couple more wins. Your effort is better to be placed on recruiting and preparing for the future.

thanks guys. very helpful. i'll keep at it and try to upgrade talent.

Unfortunately this game is a marathon also. And not a race. As others have stated, talent is everything. But it will take a while before you can really see your improvements having an impact. Evan elite coaches need 3-5 seasons to start seeing great results.

I didn't look much at your team. I just saw that you had 3 total seasons. But so you know, some of the things you're seeing that might seem ridiculous to you, they will taper off as you get better. There are 10+ point swings as times. But real basketball has that too. Teams always make a run.

Stick with it, have patience, there is a lot to like about HD
