Some advice: 1) The Pipeline is your friend. If you want to recruit above your prestige, find a pipeline 3 or 4 star without any interest in you, send them an email, LOI and “package” (pause?) and see if there’s any positive momentum a week later. If there is, just keep doing it. 2) for everybody else, including any player who is interested in you to begin the year, DO NOT SEND PACKAGE. just use letter of interest or whatever it is. The package is very expensive, doesnt have much effect except for guys not already interested, and it doesnt unlock any actions either; a letter is all you need to offer a scholarship. And if they dont accept your scholarship immediately, just keep sending emails and letters. 3) after two failed scholarship offers, you cant offer that guy again. Wait until you are at “HIGHEST” interest level to do it. If they are at “HIGHEST” and don’t accept it, check your recruiting emails. They may first want you to promise them something.
@@Scheboygan8767 well I feel a college basketball ball would be worlds more difficult to make think about this there are over 350 division 1 basketball programs it would take forever to make the game and plus think about this the Ncaa basketball ball games were stopped because they weren’t bringing in the money that they wanted.
@@andrewketcham7450 well think about how much money EA has😭 my man’s worried about EA having enough money to make a game LMAOOO and they only have the D1 teams in the game, like football 😂 it won’t be 350 teams, I don’t see any point you’re trying to make at all honestly
@@andrewketcham7450no it was because of the players and likeness they couldnt do it without risking a lawsuit. College hoops 2k8 is the best basketball game ever made and if they woukd bring it back it would sell better then any sports game out i guarantee it. With the new football game coming think this opens the door for a new college game.Even if it dont have every school like 2k8 had it would still be a hit
I’ve played the crap out of this game, so here’s the full recruiting guide: 1. Only go after players that have a high or highest interest level. It’s pretty much impossible to get any player with a lower interest level 2. Always look for players with a high three point percentage (at least 40-55 percent). This really helps your team score more points. 3. If you don’t have many recruiting points available, go for players that are geographically closer to you. 4. Always try to recruit so you have three players at every position on your team.
I break the game out every year during March Madness on my ps3. I took what I thought would be a stepping stone job at Northwestern and ended up turning it into a powerhouse winning 5 National titles in 16 seasons by mostly recruiting Chicago. It's a super fun game!
For recruiting, send letter of interest (gotta do that before you can offer a scholly). I saw someone else noted that you can only offer scholly's twice, but make sure you're aware of this. Sometimes, offering the scholly and them declining it will still boost their school interest, so it's an option with someone who is HIGH to offer them the 1st time scholly just to boost them to the place where they will accept the scholly offer the next week. I just use the asst coach call to be cheap and then an unofficial visit. However, you'll notice that different recruits cost different amounts for recruiting items. When they're one of the cheap ones, I'll use the head coach visit and an official visit to really try to make a push. I've changed some guys from Very Low to Highest before (although that's not common).
The way you edited this it makes me almost claustrophobic. You unnecessarily made it sound like you just don't breathe. You don't have to edit out your breathing 😂
The presentation of this game is phenomenal. Two different scoreboards, the ticket stubs it shows, the athletic director emailing you, the coaches shaking hands, and much more. A+++
Bordeaux, you should put your best dynasty teams into one football tournament.(Like GCU, Liberty and Army) All teams you rebuilt in your previous videos
With the shooters you recruited you should be blowing zone teams out by running a pick and pop offense vs taking deep threes over and over. Your senior pg was Linnsanity, should have been running pick and roll and using his speed and playmaking ability.
This needs a part two… no way can you leave us like that, getting to the ACC after a Cinderella run? Having real recruits ready to come? Even if you simulate every game idc I just want to see how well the team is in another 8 years man
Ivy League getting some love. I am a Harvard fan and you have no idea how hard it is to make the tourney. Wow my two favorite teams playing in the finals.🤯🤯🤯
If I remember correctly, you could force the AI into a backcourt violation so easily. I think you pick up the player just at half court and then they always do a step back dribble. Pretty impressive rebuild, would be interesting to see if you could do it without accepting invites to other conferences
Only a few seasons in, but you need to work on some plays. An easy one is to get a big who is a good passer to post up. Take your guard on the wing to the same side of the court as the big then throw the entry pass. Once the big has the ball, take 1-2 dribbles to back him down and almost always the other post defender will double. This should leave the other big for you open and an easy alley-oop target. In my opinion, the alley-oop option is almost a glitch in the game with it's high success rate from certain spots.
I miss playing the NCAA basketball games, they always hit different in a good way. Can't remember the year but there was one that had a defensive system that allowed you to force the ball handler a direction into a trap. Me and my friend used to play on the same team and dominate with the full and half court trap
you should do this as a series, but with UMaine basketball. UMaine is one of like the 5 or 6 teams to never make the national tournament, and being from Maine myself, I know how much that team means to the state.
5:03 if you didn’t know since this is NCAA 2010 the ivy leuge did not have a conference tournament till a couple of years ago, they would just pick the team who had the best record and they would be in March
Hey, nice video. Have you considered doing an HBCU video for March Madness 10? I think it would be an interesting addition to the other HBCU videos you’ve done. If not, could you try a school with virtually no athletic tradition in basketball? Like Portland State, Eastern Washington, UMKC (University of Missouri Kansas City), or Army/ Navy.
Ah snap we done stepped into the basketball realm. You already know it’s time to do a 96 & a 98 CATS team. Or the Anthony Davis and Kidd Gilchrest team too.
Harvard has been decent a few years and has had some players make the NBA. Nothing recent, Jeremy Lin would probably be the most recent. I believe they even made the tourney like 4 or 5 years in a row around 2011, making it to the third round maybe 2 of those years. They by far aren’t the worst team in college basketball.

The Ivy League DID NOT have a conference tournament until a few years ago. The game is correct about that.
And he used the Academic Harvard logo, not their Athletics marks.

There’s a mod for NCAA 10 like CFB Revamped called March Madness Legacy. It has rosters from last year but the team is working on this year’s.
Does the mod do anything about all 90 OVRs leaving after freshman year?
@@unclewheelchair not sure I know it changes the uniforms and courts
@maddogmatt1849 gotcha. Didn't know if was like the Feng Recruiting mod from football. Every 90 ovr leaves for the NBA
The original is better
Brody Everage was actually Jeremy Lin.
Your basketball commentary seems fine to me. The play by with facts sprinkled in like you usually do is kinda universal
I’m 100% down with you doing more basketball videos in the future even after March madness.
