If that's what you wanted then you should have stayed at DII. That has always been what DII is, it just doesn't have a name attached to it. So if its the name you want, then that school should have advantages. The issue could have been solved by fixing firings, but alas we got a complete overhaul that takes more time, is more random and was not needed.
Thinking about it, this is the worst possible answer. Possibly ever.
Let's say I'm a new owner, this was my first post and this was my very first team. Your post then reads:
"Yeah, you're not going to be able to get a top program, they're taken. With some work, you can get a lower tier program in an elite conference. But you're not going to be able to compete. The long-time owners have all the top programs and, under the current system, they get all the top prospects. You'd be far better off stopping in DII and building a dynasty there. Good luck!!!"
Boy, as a brand new user, I'm super excited to get on my way!!!!
Why is that a bad answer? The game is called hoops dynasty, not Duke Dynasty. If the goal is to build a dynasty why does it matter where you build it. What you guys are all asking for is easily available from any EA Sports franchise. The new game does not promote competitiveness it promotes randomness.
In the old system good coaches could still make average schools compete. If you don't like the old system that is fine, but I would say you know nothing about the old system considering you admit you haven't played in years.
It's a bad answer because WifS has a product to sell. This isn't a playground for the guys who have been around the longest(although they seem to think so).
Now you're saying "Go play EA Sports if that's the kind of game you want." Another terrible answer.
As I understand, the "dice roll" is akin to a weighted dice roll. Duke may be "Very high" and have and advantage but VT can be "High" and still get the guy. It's not exactly randomness. Duke makes their pitch and has the best opportunity to get him but it's not guaranteed. Random would be Duke has been on him the entire time then VT, NC State, a couple of D2 and a D3 join the fray. And all have an equal shot at him.
I'm not claiming to be an expert. Anything but. I thought I was clear on that. But I know why I quit and I know why the long-time owners are complaining now. Hence my post.
