2K College Hoops 2K7 Panther Uniform Issue

[pantherfan4ever]

Fortunately I haven't had too many issues in terms of turnovers, but I almost always use the direct pass (where you bring up all your players and then select you want to pass it to instead of just pushing the pass button). I wonder if that doesn't help. 3 pointers all seem to be made in the rhythm of the game, but they do seem to miss more wide open 3s then they should in the game.

I only use direct passing as well. if you dont use direct passing, you might as well plan on 100 turnovers a game..haha.. i was saying that i dont have a lot of turnovers a game, but if you do get caught in a double team, they do throw the ball away MUCH more often than real life. they seem to rate midmajors as if they were 1A highschool teams..haha

as for 3pt shooting.. if you take shots in the flow of the offense or game, they make a lot of them.. if you force them, you miss a lot.. since it is a college game, they also take into consideration unity and momentum.. so if your team is playing well and unity is up, then you make more.. there are a lot of runs in the game which makes it fun.. like one game my unity and momentum was horrible and i was missing everything.. but then with 5 minutes left my team really caught fire and Travy brown hit 4 threes and viet hit a couple to pull me within 2.. i ended up losing but it was a huge comeback and reminded me of the iowa game a little bit.

if you use timeouts to squash the runs by the other team it helps you out offensively a lot. if they score 6-8 in a row on you just call timeout because if you dont then your offense starts to suffer and against some of the really good teams you can fall behind by a lot really quick. using timeouts helps a ton

That's why I like this game, it's pretty realstic. I only using the direct passing as well. I just started a dynasty with the Sacred Heart Pioneers. I haven't done anything with it yet, but I'll try to add UNI on the schedule if I can.

I started with the Eastern Illinois Panthers. Looking to move up when an offer from a valley school comes in.

I like the game. I just have an xbox but its still pretty fun. It looks like they still have the flaw where your recruits keep getting taller and taller the farther in you get.

ya, you will get an offer from a valley school after a few years probably..

i agree, the recruits are wayyy too tall.. there are always a lot around 7ft 7in tall

I know I know this isn't a video game message board but ONE last question to those of you that have this game. Do or would any of you feel like trators to UNI for playing against them and beating them. I know it is just a game, but I am thinking about starting a Career with Nicholls state, who by the way has a KILLER schedule for non conference including trips to LSU, Texas and Washington, but part of me doesn't want to be them cause they play UNI. Now I have thought, "Why don't I just sim that game so I don't have to play them." That is an option. But should I feel this guilty about playing UNI or should I just play since it's just a game. Although their brutal schedule is making me lean towards another school.

Right now I'm playing with Colegate, and I'm only like 5 game in, but I'm getting so frustrated because apparently Quniapack (Spelling) is amazing in this game, I think they could beat UCLA. I mean seriously the throw up three after three after three and they make ALL OF THEM. Litterally. I played them last night and I swear in the first half they were 10-10 as a team from behind the arc, and of course I couldn't make a single shot, Not even a Lay up with my best player. Oh and don't even get me started on my three point shooting. Consiquently I was down by like 20 and was getting so pissed at how UNREALISTIC this game was that I shut it off and am thinking of restarting.


Sorry this turned out so long.

Perhaps you should play with UNI?

Not sure about 2k7, but i'm currently hooked on my roommate's 2k5 and I wanted to play with UNI - even named my coach after Benny Jake - but I was only allowed to select from about ten bottom of the barrel squads. The goal is to build your coaching 'legacy', get better jobs in bigger conferences and achieve goals along the way, i.e. signing 4/5 star recruits, coach of the year, tourny wins, and many more.

In the Closed career legacy mode you can't play as UNI. I thought about starting out at UNI in an Open legacy, but that's not as fun as doing it the other way.

I was just making a point that there is no way that Quiniapiac, (Again spelling)who I finally beat, is that good. I mean don't get me wrong I love this game and will continue to play it, but there are just alot of unrealistic things that occur. Like last night when I got beat by like 50 against Syracuse, that's not the unrealistic part, the unrealistic part is that they scored almost 140 pts against me. I lost like 137-85 or something. Now I know that some Division 3 school scored 201 points in a game a few weeks back, but come on, Give me a break. LOL all in all I didn't expect to beat Syracuse.

wow, you sure got high scoring games..haha.. i dont have near that high scoring games.. i would do closed and then wait for a UNI offer to coach.. thats what i do.. after a few years jacobson will move up and you will get an offer
