Realism is the key

I guess I could answer the question...

I was first turned on to realistic rosters a couple of months after I purchased College Hoops 2K7. I would do random names for every team's players, then fully edit my team's players for all the College Hoops titles before that one (name, appearance, hometown, height, weight, accessories, etc). I found out about Operation Sports in mid 2007, and downloaded a roster file for 2K7 and I've been hooked ever since.

For College Hoops 2K8, I teamed with TheAirUpThere to make a roster file. He did the majority of the work naming the players; I then started taking appearance requests, and then began doing something very time consuming: after every one of my team's real games, I would go to their official website photo gallery and edit every player I saw in the pictures--including the opposing teams. Then I would go through Sports Illustrated and ESPN magazines and edit any player I saw in those.

I hated NCAA Basketball 09 so I took it back one day after buying it, only to purchase it a couple of months before NCAA BB 10 was released, so no work on that one. But after the players were named by the OS community, I started the appearance editing process again, taking any and all suggestions and completing them within 48 hours of seeing them.

I love the realism that names provide, but the thing that sells me on Luv's roster files is that like me, he makes appearance edits. I know this is crazy, but if I see a magazine laying around from 2007 with a picture of a college basketball player in it, I will edit him in College Hoops 2K7--even though I don't even play it anymore. I'm all about realism in college games, and names and appearances take it to the next level.

That is off the top of my head for UGA, I can give height and weight for most also. Sad I know. Wrote on my iPhone outside watching my daughter so that's why it's messy. Just curious to see how close I am.
