AssumedPseudonym Joined: 10/26/2016 Posts: 1130 Deerfield Beach Rats V.7	My general opinion of college hoops is that it’s a waste of airtime, and that goes double once March Madness rolls around. The odds of me looking at Hardwood are fairly low. The odds of me sticking around more than half a season or so once it starts are even lower. The fact that it’s Steve making the game, on the other hand, means that those odds are nonzero. I love what he’s done with Broken Bat, after all, and finding the community here was like walking into a room of old friends I’d never met. I might be intrigued just enough to poke at Hardwood a bit once he launches it.

I'm guessing there is going to be a decent amount of people who want these teams. Personally, my first choice would be Boise State who won't be popular as some other colleges.

Seca Joined: 05/05/2014 Posts: 5201 Waterloo Dinosaurs Legends	Why college basketball?Why college basketball? I think there might be more to do in college basketball than professional. Maybe. I've tried basketball sims before, but had trouble sticking with them. I think part of the problem for me is that the line-ups / roster is much smaller in basketball than other major sports. Didn't feel like I had much to do.

Frankebasta Joined: 09/15/2013 Posts: 885 Kodiak Mules III.3	I know nothing about college basket, but will join the company over there for sure. Biggest difference I foresee is that in Broken Bat all teams are created equal. In Hardwood, top dogs will play in the top leagues, and recruit the best talent Doesn't look like easy to overcome that disparity Also, top coaches will be so much more important there, as they will be the only mainstay of the team

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9603 Haverhill Halflings III.1	Recruiting is THE most fun aspect of college hoops. Also the answer to "why college hoops"; much more fun then pro management. So I hope Steve keeps it in the game. It will definitely raise some interesting challenges for balance. May need to be some sort of mechanic to ensure lower conference schools can still get decent recruits. If the data is fuzzy enough behind the high school stats (like Stumped!), then it may not matter much. But you really don't want recruiting to be a total guess fest if its going to be an intricate part of the game. Personally, I always like to start at the very bottom with college basketball games and build my prestige and recruiting power through hard work. I would always make a brand new team in DDS with no prestige and start drafting local mediocre talent guys. It should be attractive to players who like to build a program. Just a question if there are enough of us that prefer that to just owning a dynasty.

newtman Joined: 11/02/2013 Posts: 3343 Inactive	As someone born and raised in North Carolina, I can concur that college hoops is far more interesting than pro to me. From 1991 to 2008 I missed a total of less than 20 tournament games, unfortunately life has gotten in the way in recent years, also some of the scandals have been sickening to me. I would be happy with one of the major schools I like, but I would be happy with either of my alma maters which are both relatively unknown.

Haselrig Joined: 04/13/2014 Posts: 2790 Novi Doubledays III.4	I think there's a lot of little things that make college basketball a better subject for an online sim than pro basketball would be. Take for example conferences. I could see a possibility to add a satisfying tension to the game by making strength of conference a factor in recruiting and team rankings. So, on the one hand, you want to beat all your conference rivals by fifty points, while on the other, it helps you to have your conference be strong from top to bottom. There's no real analog for something like that in pro basketball. [EDIT] It also nicely skirts the trade problem Updated Saturday, November 4 2017 @ 1:21:15 am PDT

newtman Joined: 11/02/2013 Posts: 3343 Inactive	@steve, a minor detail from the Hardwood manual: - Scouted Skill Values vs. Real Skill Values So are the skill values displayed for each player accurate? Just as in real baseball, where there is some uncertainty about a player's talent level, in Broken Bat there is also built-in uncertainty in displayed skill levels. The visible skill values for each player are an approximation of his current actual skill level and may deviate by up to 20% from it true value for some skills. Additionally, just like in real baseball, as a player plays more games, his displayed skill value will approach his true current skill level. Note, this may result in a player's displayed skill level actually dropping, even though he is receiving regular coaching and playing time. His skill value is not actually dropping, but because his actual skill level is better known now, a more accurate and lower value is now displayed. I think you meant to change "baseball" to "basketball" and "Broken Bat" to "Hardwood". Edit: I know the game is still a ways out, sorry, it is a natural tendency to proofread while reading something. I found a few more needed edits, but I will refrain from listing them here and now. Updated Saturday, November 4 2017 @ 10:48:49 am PDT

It ran for 1+ seasons, which means it executed all the steps in the game. Steve

I actually coach a middle school rec league team each year so it would be fun to coach basketball year round. I tried another basketball manager game but it was not very fun. If this is very similar to BB (which it appears to be) it should be great!

By the way, I will give a try to the Hardwood game, just make the announcement, but it's already bookmarked.

All I can say is that Hardwood looks absolutely fantastic!!! I cannot wait to try my hand at this. *Dibs on the Cavs by the way

I've been checking it out from time to time, and it looks like it will be pretty cool. What do I need to do? If possible, I'd like to have team #208 Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Thanks.

MukilteoMike Joined: 08/09/2014 Posts: 3294 Inactive	Since I've started a rebuild here, I've decided to try a build at Hardwood. I'm not a huge basketball fan and can't imagine I'll devote as much time and energy there. Hopefully my registration worked. It's hard to tell with the reset being in progress.

Yuri84 Joined: 10/14/2014 Posts: 639 Apple Valley Raccoons IV.4	Oh why not? Since I'm more or less back to BB as well after getting a more relaxed schedule at work, I think I can give one more game a try.
