MKnight82 Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) CONFERENCE CHANGE Holy crap. The ACC has invited me to join their conference, which is pretty much the top basketball conference in the country. Of course I accepted.

MKnight82 Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 PLAYERS LEAVING PF Cameron Owens, 83 OVR, Graduating PF Bonzi Wilkins, 80 OVR, Graduating PG Tim Gaskins, 71 OVR, Graduating C Tyson Stanley, 52 OVR, Graduating Unfortunately I don't have career stats for Owens. He's been my top player for 3-4 years now. He could switch between the 4-5 spots effectively. Bonzi Wilkins has been a bit of a disappointment. Despite his OVR, he's rarely showed up in the top stats column at the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect either Carson or Blackmon will end up transferring so it won't matter. Marshall looks like a solid Center recruit if not a little undersized. Daniel is a stud.

JBURGE Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Getting 2 of those top 3 recruits would be tight. I wish I could get this game for PC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBURGE Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I assume you can decline offers to change conferences, have you done one before where you just stayed in a lesser conference and dominated it for years after upgrading all of your facilities? Keeping all of the players until their senior season but getting all of the best recruits a small school can get? I don't really know how this game works, but I assume the 4 and 5 star recruits you are able to get will leave for the NBA after 1/2 years?

I think recruiting is mostly impacted by my Program Prestige, not sure if what conference you're in impacts that or not. As soon as I bumped to a 4 star program this year I got way better recruits interested. If I were in a lower conference I'd be winning the conference tournament every year, which would put me in the NCAA tournament every year, which I think would build the prestige. The biggest plus from being in the ACC is I can get at large bids into the tournament now. 26 minutes ago, JBURGE said: I don't really know how this game works, but I assume the 4 and 5 star recruits you are able to get will leave for the NBA after 1/2 years? The game does have players declare for the draft. It will be interesting to see if 5 stars are worth it once I get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both conferences I left were collapsing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it but just checking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
