First let me start by saying I like where 3.0 has taken this game. The recruiting is MUCH IMPROVED and I like how they didn't make it a sure thing that the top team gets the recruit. Makes it more realistic and frustrating at times. I love being able to have an online game I don't have to put forth a ton of time and attention towards and the fact that it's mobile makes it all the better. But, the more I play it, the more I wonder about a few items and if the developers should put more thought into these on the next release than a different look and feel to the game.
1. Why have the developers not gotten on the bandwagon of conference realignment?
It's hard seeing some of these schools in their old conferences. I know 12 teams per conference makes it easier to give every school 26 regular season games (10 non-con and 16 conference) and just streamline the whole game, but I think they'd find a way around this.
2. Why do the developers limit the number of redshirts you can place on players to one a year?
I generally have two extra players each year just sitting there because I play two deep at every position and I have to choose which one I want an extra year out of.
3. Unlike in real college basketball, why are teams limited to 12 scholarships when the real limit is 13?
Not to mention we should have walk-ons after that, instead of in place of empty scholarships like in real life.
4. Why are there no injuries?
Durability is a wasted stat in that case. I've had one injury in the 10+ season's I've played. Not the worst thing because I hate them, but never the less, they are a part of the real world.
---There is one improvement I'd liked to see on the next upgrade which is not to the recruiting side, but the coaching.
I wish they'd include...
1. Player roles (3 point specialist, slasher, distributor, defensive, rim protector, balanced) to name a few.
With these, and if you got the right role with the player's attributes, you could see an uptick in their production in these areas.
I know this is a bit long, but I'd like to know the community's thoughts on these.
