College Basketball Dynasty Sim

This game is not a bad game if your interested in the challenge of recruiting and building your college team to be champions. I’ve just finished my first season with my team and the recruiting was not bad. The off season threw me off quite a bit, especially the player transfers part. Teams bidding on the players is kind of unrealistic. Having the player randomly generate new teams including the current team would be better. Adding a recruiting section during the off-season linking the time used for player transfers and recruiting to the same week would add somewhat of a challenge as well. Especially if you don’t get all committed spots filled until the off-season like I did playing with a weaker team. The season overall was really good, but making the layout similar to the football version would make it better.

I do enjoy playing this game and can play it for hours with the amount of recruiting needed to build and keep a year to year contender. One of my biggest problems with the game is that it’s very PG dependent for team success. No other position on the court seems to hold as much value in this game. In my first season, my PG was All Conference Player of the Year and All Conference First Team, with should lead one to believe he was one of the best PG’s in the country. However, he went #11 in the draft, only for me to find out the the 10 picks in front of him were ALL PG’s. SG’s are 90 overall and average 7 ppg, as well as every other position and PG’s run the game with everyone one averaging 24 ppg. Just feels pointless in recruiting other positions when I know if my PG leaves, no one else will fill the scoring gap even with the rest of the lineup are 90+’s

This is a fun game but has some bugs. The recruiting could be improved by having repeat all calls for the week instead of separate calls. You should be able to see the letter grades for the overall offense and defense after scouting once. There should be a section on player and team stats where you can see player stats for your team and the nation. Same with team stats. There should also be a separate roster page where you can see your whole team together. Players should develop more than 0-1 every year. Potential should also be random for every overall not around the same as the starting overall.
