Has everyone changed over to playing less interior offense?

I like the interior offense in these games, they truly shine when you’re against an inferior defender.

I like keeping a classic offense with two bigs (1 possibly can shot from mid-range)

Anyone else out there with me?

I’ve been diving into some of the videos and written material on setting tendencies for CPU vs CPU, and decided to try to automate as much of the process as possible. I’m sharing the automation tool in case other people find it helpful: https://github.com/joseph-s-tan/College-Hoops-2K8-Tendency-Editor-Assistant

The Readme should hopefully get you set up for using the assistant. You will need to do manual data entry, but you can export your roster as a JSON file so you can return to it later.

Feel free to fork the project so you can customize some of the underlying logic and algorithms. This was more or less vibe-coded, so let me know if you see any issues.

Okay so me and a group of friends play NCAA Basketball 10. But we have it to where you have to recruit your team and whoever does the best wins $30 after every season. It's been super fun just competing against one another. But What would y'all say the best Offensive Playbook is when Your Star Players are the PF & C?

I used to have one but I lost it so does anyone have one? or know where I could get one?

For anyone that’s ever finished a full closed legacy, what was your career path? Curious to see other people’s coaching path through all the years. How many total schools and years at each?

Just signed my best recruiting class in year 9, second with UNO. Where would you play him? 2, 3 or 5?

I bought this game multiple times and multiple times got rid of it like an idiot. What’s the cheapest way to go about getting it again in 2025?

Hoping to sign Stevin Perkins (a Sam Perkins clone basically) that I found 2 years ago, as the gem of my class.

Hopefully he will be a beast.

I’m on my first graduating class and decided ti take a look at my roster for the season after 4 years of recruiting. I noticed this guy right away given that he was my highest rated player and I didn’t remember signing him as one of my three scholarship handouts. Has this happened to anyone before? He isn’t a walk on as the sign isn’t there. I don’t remember accepting a single transfer as no one comes to NC lol. But here is somehow.

Hey everyone! I like to run my offense through my PF and C. Is Princeton the best one to use for that?

Also what sliders do I use to get them involved when simming? Feels like I’ll score 15-20 with them while playing, but simming they score less than 10 every time.

Thanks!

I just got a SG with a 90 overall. That's the highest I can remember. This is after having a FR who started as an 87 overall leave for the draft. I wish they could have overlapped.

Basically the title. I'm 13 seasons deep at Southern Utah on 2K7. There are some recruiting challenges that I have yet achieve, and at this point I'm wondering if it's even possible at a small school, lol. Anyone have any luck and if so what did you do?

Just finished an experiment and I think these are the best coach sliders for simming. I had my second or third best legacy, winning 10 titles.

I put pressure to 0 to test the impact and it had a surprising effect.

It made my players commit the least fouls in the nation year over year, which meant I routinely had the lowest opp FTA by a wide margin. I should note I also change my player Commit Foul rating to 10 their FR year to amplify the effect.

However, it did NOT lead to higher FG% for my opponents like I thought. In fact, I often had the best opp FG% in the Big East.

I think putting pressure to 100 can cause more turnovers, but with the tempo turned up, I usually still led the nation in steals, blks, and opp TO because of having more possessions per game.

Unfortunately, 2K8 on Xbox 360 doesn't correctly track opp O rebs, so I can't say how many of those we gave up by focusing on fast breaks. My next experiment will be putting Tempo to 100 and everything else to 0.

Happy to answer any other questions about my style or player tendencies.

Had duke for my legacy. Went to overtime with Boston college. This dude did this to me with a 73 3 ball rating. IM tired of MOP difficulty 😔

I'm not sure how many of you would be interested, but I just finished up creating a 36 team My Eras file in NBA2K25 for the upcoming College Basketball Season. The Players have all been made to look as close to how they do in real life as possible, including height and weight, and their overalls should be similar to their skill in real life. I will update the file weekly, changing player overalls as the season goes, as well as fixing starting lineups to account for injuries or midseason tweaks. A lot of Rosters aren't official yet by the colleges, but when they are made official, I will make sure everyone's jersey numbers are correct, as a lot may be wrong right now, along with adding any player I may have missed. The File is named "College Basketball 2025-2026" and the creator is "ReactedAsp69101". Enjoy and let me know what you think of it, and what I should change.

Broken, worn out controller. Had to set it aside so that stick drift didn’t start costing me games.

New one arrives today! Back on the Horse(Chief).

Just got the game at Vintage Stock today on a whim and started playing. I am playing as Samford currently on dynasty mode. We didn’t qualify for the conference tournament post season despite teams with worse records making it. Any idea why this would happen? I simmed all the games to focus on recruiting year 1. We went 5-11 in conference and the other 5-11 team and the 4-12 team made the tournament but I didn’t.

UPDATE: Samford got kicked out of the conference in the offseason lol. Maybe that had something to do with not getting an invite to the tournament

Here’s my old man question of the year. I play ps2 emulation of CH2k8.

I’ve been going through controllers pretty consistently, they last about a year. So I’ve stuck with a Logitech F310. I run into stick drift/failure eventually.

I just saw an 8Bitdo wired controller on sale for the same price as the F310, so I ordered it. It has Hall Effect.

What’s the biggest difference I’ll notice? (As far as controller use, this is pretty much all I play these days)

This is the first time I can remember getting 4 in a row simming. I actually feel proud of my guys for battling through lol.

Only had 2 AA in the rotation for the fourth title.

Does anyone have a saved roster for the original 2008 season with named players and coaches? Where would I find something like that?
