The Elite 3 star led us to the promised land his Sophmore year (we got smoked by No.1 Maryland but ehhhh). His recent 4 star PF costar definitely elivated his game.

Offseason was amazing as I was able to pick up this 4 star Mr.Basketball off of transfers (first time ever Ive gotten a transfer >65). Then was able to bring in another 2 4 star recrutis (PG, SF), and another 3 star Mr.BB I had been recruiting the whole save.

If last year is anything to go by, finally having a reliable spot up SF and an actual bench, I might be able to sneak into the Sweet 16 in the next two years. At the very least, I was able to get my Teaching up to A instead if C+, so the elite 3-star will have at least set me up for success for years to come.

Over some time, I’ve tried to fine a spreadsheet that I can use to track pretty much everything in CH2K8 but couldn’t find anything (except a Reddit post a year ago which I cannot even open). Has anyone made a spreadsheet and willing to share please do so.

Finally caved and spent $100 on the game(ps3).

I’m a big NCAA FB dynasty guy and typically try to have a realistic dynasty (although those games limit you a bit). I’d like to start at a small school and work my way up to a big time job. Not really interested in winning Nattys at NE State. I typically like to pick teams I think of as sleeping giants to truly begin my run of dominance

Any suggestions to make things as realistic as possible?

I recently set up my old XBOX360 to play College Hoops 2K6. I have never had the chance to play 2k8 but I still feel like it holds up to this day.

But what do you think are the chances of 2K just adding NCAA teams to NBA 2K? The NHL series has all the Canadian Junior teams (basically the hockey equivalent to CBB), as well as most European leagues. If NHL can manage all of that, what is stopping 2K from doing it with NCAA teams? It would add so much to the MyCareer mode and another legacy mode would add more depth to the game.

How much different are the controls from 2k to ea college basketball game? I have both but mainly play ea ncaa 09 over my copy of 2k07, It took me forever to find out how to get through the menus on 2k

I bought 2k8 trying to export my draft classes into the game so i could have my players in the NBA, however when i started an association in 2k8 I didn’t even have the option to choose my draft classes into, the game automatically autogenerated it, does anyone know the solution to this.

Just got this game and am so excited. Modded by PS3 so my son could play NCAA 14 Revamped a few years ago, and I never really got around to exploring other games. We're starting a 2-user legacy with Charleston Southern and the Citadel. So ready to get this thing started, and looking forward to reading through all the information here.

I just bought a copy of hoops 2k8, haven’t played since I was a kid, I am wondering if there’s a way to get updated rosters for the Xbox 360 version of the game, appreciate any help

I get it that we are probably a long ways off from a CBB game being released by either EA or 2K, but a guy can dream!

I’m hoping that we get some of the stuff that was included in EA’s CFB 25 Dynasty Mode. Mostly the NIL, and Transfer Portal.

I like how recruits in that game also indicate how you standout with what they want such as the proximity to home, pro potential, playing time, etc.

I want custom scheduling (and custom conferences) in a Dynasty, but when I was playing March Madness 07 on my PS2 a few years ago, I remembered that the game gave custom scheduling a twist. You can’t just schedule anybody, it was consensual between both schools. If you were Northwestern, and tried to schedule a home game with Duke, Duke would tell Northwestern where to stick their idea for a non-conference game. I’d like that to return, it’s too easy to just wanna front load a non-conference schedule in CFB beyond realism lol.

Another thing I’d like to see in a future CBB game’s dynasty are the regular season holiday tournaments. If we only got the Maui Invite, I’d be happy, even if that meant we got a few rehashed generic “EA Holiday Hoops Classic” tournaments or whatever.

I’d like the home crowds to be dynamic too. Lower prestige teams would see a big dip in attendance for a Tuesday night game, whereas a blue blood would still have a sold out crowd on a Tuesday night.

As much as I do like player ratings for these sports games, I’m a firm believer that when it’s a given player’s night, It is their night! If a three point shooter with an 85 rating splashes a few threes in a row, then they get a bump in their rating. I’d say the balance to that is if a few three point attempts don’t fall in, then they get cold and lose a few points on their rating until the trend changes.

Of course I’d also like Selection Sunday to return too, I don’t really have a vision for how it would look, and I’m not picky! Just something that would immerse me to see who is in the Big Dance. I would also hope the Selection Sunday segment would show us the First Four Out and Next Four Out to see who is close but NIT. I can’t remember if 2K had that in their Selection Sunday tbh.

Aside from that, I’d like to see how the Bracketologists are predicting the field as the season progresses. Also when it’s time for the NCAAT, I’d like to see their brackets filled out. It would make your Cinderella run feel a lot better when hardly anyone has you picked, and you ruin pretty much everyone’s brackets.

I also have this wild idea for Dynasty. I call these two mechanics “media hype” and “media attention”. Media attention is for the blue bloods, and those in the P5 conferences, they will always have some level of media attention.

The mid majors won’t be so lucky though. They won’t have any media attention at all. One of the ways they can make waves with the media is basically by going on a Cinderella run, which will be reflected with media hype. Unfortunately once the clock strikes midnight for Cinderella, the media hype will vanish too. I’d say the only chance a mid major gets media attention is if they miraculously win it all.

That’s all I got for ideas on my wishlist, sorry if I went on a rant about stuff already in the past games, but I’m ready for a new CBB game.

Exactly what the title says. I’ve had ch2k8 on Xbox 360 for a few years now and have moved the system to different rooms in my house because my children take over every TV as their own eventually. The last time I moved the system, about a year ago, the graphics went way down hill. I just thought it was because the game was over 15 years old and my 360 sounds like a vacuum cleaner. Nope. The visual settings defaulted to 480 and I realized this last night on accident when adjusting an audio setting.

I basically got a brand new game for free visually. SMH.

4 ⭐️ 6’7 205 Sr. PG (came in at 6’4) Drake Baker

He’s been my 6th man for 3 seasons (similar to Shaun Livingston at Warrior)

+Good Defender (88 Def) +Good Rebounder (Tall af) +Good Scoring In close (84 Close, 88 Lay) +Great Speed (94)

-not good shooter from distance (74 3pt) -bad free throw shooter (73 FT)

Hoping he goes Pro and I can pick him up on my year 2 Cavs association on 2k7 lol

Wont let me join the discord saying the link is non existent or it’s expired if anyone can help it’ll be very appreciated

I seem to lose a lot more often when I Hoopcast rather than just sim normally

When simming, do you go game by game and sim slow/adjust strategy? Or do you set your team up and then rip through games quickly?

I was at Princeton for 5 years and took the Portland job. The team was 81 overall and had key pieces already as sophomore and freshman. It’s year 2, we are 85 overall and opened in Eugene against #6 Oregon (91 overall but 2-2 and now not ranked). I was okay with the loss, honestly wanted to see how we would play because I changed sliders and have been simming a decent amount. This would be a game I’d play 10 times out of 10 but I have a tough schedule and it’s realistic to lose this one. Not only did we beat them but we kinda handled them all game long, in the sim. I contemplated on backing out, I was going to sim it 4-5 times and just see how we would sim but first rip and we did this. I kept it. We did the same thing against #13 UNLV a week later in the sim. Simmed Oregon, played TCU and simmed UNLV to a 3-0 start. As an 85 overall and not favored once. I try to keep it realistic and upsets happen but I felt weird after this, what do you guys think?? Would you have kept the game?? Is it cheese?

Just got the job at U of A and we don’t have a center. Pettway is 6’10 but I would rather use Ma (6’8) what is the best playbook to run without a center?

I have been playing college hoops2k8 on my PC and recently I left for college leaving my PC at home. I have a macbook M2 16GB 2022 with it updated to sequoia 15.4. Anyone have any successful working emulators to play college hoops on? I tried RPCS3 and it didn’t end up working but I may have had incorrect settings. Any help would be amazing

Been playing the game and was wondering if there is any real benefit to just having them on my recruiting board. Would love to know if there’s any boost or benefit.

There’s a 4 star Jr Center I’m recruiting. The lowest grade he has is a C+ in his shooting. Only downside is he is 6’7. Has anyone notice recruits having growth spurts?

I've got these two pretty much wrapped up. But I've only got playing time for one. Who do you pick?
