The Citadel - The Military College of South Carolina

The Citadel - The Military College of South Carolina. wow sounds like an easy College o recruit 7'0 basketball players to! This was the college the game ncaa 2k8 wanted me to pick as I started my LEGEND season with my Coach I created....creatively named Raphael M. So what I remember about this game the most is how frustrating it was to even get past the first two seasons. You had to play through your first contract of 3 years and not be fired. If you were fired you had to start over. So there I was 3 months into this game and I kept getting fired. It was frustrating. I am lucky i didn't smash a controller into a dog or penguin. You get some points to put into your coach and you get to invest these points. Don't bother in investing with Recruiting, by time your recruits get to be good you will be fired. Instead pump your points into teaching, so you can get your crappy team good enough to be decent by year two. Then after a couple years you can be good enough to win some games. All this again from about 100 hours of gameplay. One of my best players early on, I will never forget his famous name of "#11" the voice over couldn't stop gushing over "#11" A true player of fame for #11!

Raphael base offense. Consists of Pick and Roll, Cherry picking, juking with my best player, or firing a 3 while the shot clock is running down.

Raphaels defense man to man..some full court. some games I randomly fall in love with the 2-3 zone because that is what we ran at St. James to stop large players, exept this didn't work against some teams, they would chuck 3's. How good would St. Francis have been if they combined teams. I digress.

My main player right Now is Watkins. He is 7'1 and can dunk. So he is ideal for the pick and roll. I don't know how good he is at anything else. All I care is that he is tall and he can put the ball into the hoop.

My main cherry picker is Maclin. Maclin has a sweet jame like Jeremy Maclin the missouri star. He is a Carmello Anthony time of player. He takes off down the court and cherry picks and scores in Bunches.

Norwood is a white guy on me team that basicly does nothing. I am sure he is pretty good as I have been playing this game forever so I recruit well, but his best attribute is that he stays as far out of the way as possible when I pick and roll. He is a good off the ball defender I think because I can't remember getting pissed off at him.
