is tark now in 3.0? or one more season of oldHD?

oops, i see now

Because the scouting and recruiting changes affect the core of the game, the rollout of the new version is unique. As each world reaches the conclusion of its recruiting period, it will transition to the new version of the game within 48 hours and the season will continue. The first world to experience the upgrade will be the Wooden world.

So is tark not starting until next recruiting cycle?

after next recruiting period.

I thought tark was turning over to 3.0 tonight?

after next recruiting period. Wooden will be the first.

did wooden start on 3.0 yet? what WIS left out is who is before wooden who isn't going yet, thats unclear, no idea when wooden rolls...

2.0 recruiting started today in Wooden. After recruiting ends the world will pause for two days and be converted to 3.0.

This is what the sitemail said?

And it was later revised as follows:


Attention Hoops Dynasty Coaches!

Hoops Dynasty launched back in 2004. Over the years, it has evolved into the best college basketball simulation game of its kind through customer feedback and ideas from our development team. It’s about to evolve again!

Hoops Dynasty 3.0 is now ready after several seasons of beta testing (thank you to all our beta testers for their valuable feedback). In addition, we have been playing extensively ourselves and have been busy putting the finishing touches on what we believe is a tremendous step forward for the game.

HD 3.0 has a new design that can be played on any device, which is key for new user adoption, expanded marketing opportunities and will allow veteran coaches to play the game in nearly any situation.

Scouting and recruiting have been overhauled to better represent the actual real-life process, simplify the start-of-season learning curve for new users, and improve the overall gameplay for our veteran coaches.

Rather than bore you with paragraphs of text, we’ve created a couple visuals to help you digest the upcoming changes:

• What’s Changing in Hoops Dynasty 3.0
• How to Scout & Recruit in Hoops Dynasty 3.0

Because the scouting and recruiting changes affect the core of the game, the rollout of the new version is unique. As each world reaches the conclusion of its recruiting period, it will transition to the new version of the game within 48 hours and the season will continue. The first world to experience the upgrade will be the Wooden world.

Once the official update is in place across all worlds, marketing efforts will increase to bring new college basketball fans into the game.

The changes to scouting and recruiting are significant. For veteran coaches who have been following the same approach for years, this will be an adjustment. But we are confident coaches will adapt to the new system in a season or two and an entirely new web of scouting and recruiting strategies will emerge.

We’ll be closely monitoring the game, the forums and customer support tickets over the next couple months as the update is applied to each world. Feedback will be collected, reviewed and applied accordingly for future improvements, tweaks and additions.

Thank you,

I'll post this again to try to clear this up. The short answer is that Wooden is in the final 2.0 recruiting period now. If WIS holds to what was posted above, then Wooden will pause to update at the close of recruiting, Saturday, August 20 at midnight, and update for 48 or so hours and rollover into, presumably, new coach signup in the 3.0 update. The list below should be the final 2.0 new coach signup for each world:

Wooden	90		Recruiting	Mon, Aug. 15
Rupp	90		Recruiting	Tue, Aug. 16
Knight		97	National Tournament	Wed, Aug. 24
Allen		87	Regular Season	Sat, Sep. 3
Smith		89	Regular Season	Wed, Sep. 7
Tarkanian		117	Regular Season	Fri, Sep. 9
Phelan		97	Regular Season	Fri, Sep. 9
Iba		88	Regular Season	Wed, Sep. 14
Crum		84	Regular Season	Sat, Sep. 17
Naismith		90	Regular Season	Wed, Sep. 28

So, I could imagine WIS making the decision to delay Rupp's update by an extra 48 hours or so, just to put some space back between its new coach signup and Wooden's.

Rogelio where did your information come from?

This is assembled information from things seble has mentioned and the dates for the new coach signup in each world. The key thing to understand is that each world MUST complete recruiting in the old method before it can update. So, job applications, new coach signup, recruiting (2.0), pause...update...rollover to 3.0..., Another new coach signup (this is where that lives in 3.0, so I assume it will rollout that way), exhibitions start.

Note: you could start scouting during exhibitions, but don't! I strongly advise signing up for a public camp and wait for that to run. You might FSS your own state, but resist the urge to jump way ahead. Recruiting actions won't become available for two or three weeks in a 1-day world. Don't forget too register for a public camp, but do not start individual scouting until after the camp(s) run.
