If you could fix one thing... Topic

After seeing whats gone on in Phelan the last several recruiting cycles...I'd turn CC off from the start of recruiting until the end...While I get its no "collusion" to post things in public...There is no place for a coach in one conference to go into another in the middle of recruiting and direct the other conference teams to recruit against one coach...there is also no room for one coach telling another their recruiting strategy...Turning off the CC would prevent these things.

I agree 1000000000% Coaches need to stay out of other cc and stop being so goddamn annoying. talk during recruiting might not be against the rules but that doesnt make it ok. too man yguys try to put their noses where they dont belong.

Decrease the recruiting dollars generated by post-season play in DI.

maybe make it school specific. I actually just decided I love this idea
10/15/2009 12:32 PM
maybe have a school specific amount paid out as well as conf specific amount paid out.

D3 should just be free to play.

That would be an interesting idea. On the same topic I have always wondered why the Champion doesn't earn the conference another games worth of money.

I think the calling out of lm2 to be recruited against was quite out of line. I think generaly talking about recruiting is completely fine though.

Normall I like all the chatter, but this year in Phelan all hell has broken loose on just about every Big 6 CC.

Its annoying.

When you look back on history, we dont want Phelan Hoops Dynasty to be the reason for WWIII.

Sorry, you only asked for 1.

2) I agree with cburton. I would like a setting to sub out a player based not only on fatigue but performance as well. Perhaps have a setting that allows you to chose a fg% at which he will be benched. Obviously this would have to happen after a certain number of shots, because you wouldn't want him to get pulled too soon. If, for example, you had fg% set at 33 and he goes 1-3, that would be too soon to bench him. It could be after maybe 8-10 attempts or something in that range.[

This makes very little sense to me. Unlike real life, in the SIM, a guy who has gone 0-15 has exactly the same chance to hit his 16th shot as a guy who has gone 15-15. Real life players can be streaky. In the SIM, it's all RNG.
People have convinced themselves that players can go streaky and that players have personalities
Its not so much that players are streaky, but that you missed something in a match-up in your pre-game planning. For whatever reason your SF is 1-10 from the field, due to the defensive match-up, you could have the ability to sub that player out to what could be a better match-up.

More uncertainty in recruiting. It seems as if we know too much about prospects and how good they are/will be. Maybe ratings should be hidden and only accessible via scouting trips. I don't think everyone will want that to happen though.

I agree that not every player should develop at the same time. There should be some guys that reach their potential early on in college and others who hit it in senior year. Some guys never hit their fullest potential by the end of senior year.

That would be a huge change and I would love it. I have always said that I think each player should have a hidden # of minutes he has to play and then he reaches his fast growth period.
