Now that I have my clean logo pack for D1 done I figured it was time to tidy up and re-release my D2/D3 Fantasy Mod from the 2016 release of the game.

As many of you may remember the game requires 352 teams are in the database, for that reason a true D2 or D3 mod is not possible within the confines of the game. So in this fantasy setting, we suspend disbelief and assume that D2 has taken in several D3 schools and now operate completely like D1.

Included Features:
- 352 D2/D3 Teams
* Cal Baptist has been replaced by Caltech now that CBU has moved up to D1
* North Alabama has been replaced by Birmingham-Southern
- 22 Conferences with 16 Teams each. Each conference will have two 8 team divisions. (Not all teams are in their real life conferences but the conferences are put together in a way that makes the most sense.)
- All conferences have a 12 team tournament.
- All teams will start in close proximity to the same prestige. No team will have a huge leg up when the game starts.
- All conferences and teams will have their actual real logos, colors, arena
- Rivals for teams
- Will use the naming convention D2_FILENAME for graphics so that no graphics for other mods or the base game are overwritten.
- Updated courts for conferences, tournaments, and schools. (courts is a long term project as I have to dust off some skills I haven't used in years)
- Real Coaches (later release)

Who will emerge as the years pass as the top teams in the league? Will parity reign or will talented coaches lead their teams to top of the basketball world?

Samples will be listed below of the work in progress.

Valdarix;

I put a long post over in the D19FCM section about some of the things I did in my mod so guys like you and me are not fighting for the same game default files. If you have any questions on what I did or how to our mods can co-exist I'll be happy to help. I'm sure though you have already got things nailed down, but want to offer.
I am going to create a tournaments folder in the game assn. folder so everyone will have easy access to tournament logos to make tournaments in game "Options" this way DI can have tournaments and your DII/DII can as well or anyone can add old or even new tournament without modders bumping heads on the games default files. Wanted to give you a heads up for your tournaments.

Thanks for the info NCAA. I'm definitely trying to follow the process that will allow the mods to co-exist.

Still trying to power my way through the courts. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
