Home Court

[bagman428]

It seems like home court advantage is a bit too unrealistic in the game.

Here are some of the teams records home and away...

Team 1: 9-0 home, 3-6 away
Team 2: 10-0 home, 2-3 away
Team 3: 9-1 home, 1-6 away

Seems like just about every team is like this... is anyone else noticing this? Can something be done to make it a bit more realistic?

Thanks

Unless you're coaching a really good team that probably IS realistic.

To determine this you'd need to compare the home win % for ALL teams in DDSCB against the home win % for ALL teams in Division 1 in real life NCAA basketball.

Seems to me that we looked at this in a previous version of DDSCB (2017 or 2016) and found that there wasn't all that much of a difference between DDSCB and real life. Maybe it's worth another look though...not sure.

Here's an excellent source for real life home court win % as well as a discussion of the big advantage that a home court provides: http://www.rpiratings.com/homecourtrec.php

A betting webpage indicates that on average home court typically provides a 2.5 to 6.0 point advantage. That's pretty significant.

This will probably be a dumb question but I have yet to get to a tournament im still on my first year and havent gotten to march madness yet...

My question is is there a home court advantage for march madness? i know in real life its on neutral site but does the game do it that way where there is no home court advantage during the tourney?

No home court advantage in tourneys.
