2. Conferences (Done)
3. Coaches (Done)
4. Teams (Done)
5. Courts Today
Courts, Courts and more Courts!
Good news on the courts is I have a lot of them done. I made a change in how I make them now with 3 different versions to speed up the process in making them.
To explain:
Version 1 (V1) are the top quality as all the previous courts I made until back during DDSCB2023. These take the most time with several hours per court.
Version 2 (V2) are faster to make but some small details are missing that are not noticeable to most people. Such as the under basket text font may not be exact and occasional missing text around the sidelines like "@teamathletics". Takes about an hour per court.
Version 3 (V3) noticeable difference from V1 or V2 courts and are generic. They are not confirmed as this years court as I used some older pictures and are missing any court graphics other than center court logo. The message board is bland with "Go Team mascot name" and generic graphics if I did not have easy access to a team graphic to save time on the message board. These are fillers so every team will have a court before "Official "DDSCB24 release and will eventually be replaced with a V1 or V2 court down the road. These vary in time to make but I have been able to do about 10+ a day.
Yes I said every team will have a court by the time DDSCB24 comes out of First Access and is Officially released!
What is already completed.
Tournaments:
All Post Season Tournament courts were previously completed.
All Conference Tournaments courts are all completed.
Non-conference early season courts are all completed.
I matched up the early season tournaments by prestige. So real tournaments that have top teams will here also.
The logos for both of these tournaments have logos on white 3d boxes to be more visible on screens.
Something I don't usually do is put advertising on the courts but for the Early Season Tournament courts I used Network TV Network Sports logos on the Message board as I did not have a better idea. So there are Fox Sports, ESPN ABC and other in there.
A new DDSCB court that is generic for all teams instead of the Wolverine court. Hardwood Hoops Basketball logo for center court. This is generic court that will be used until a team gets it's own court during First Access.
Teams:
These conferences are done with the types of courts V1, V2 or V3. All not list here will be V3 with an occasional other version mixed in.

These should be good enough to use for a while so I can actually take a break from courts and play DDSCB24 some.
If you find your team has a V3 court and if you want it upgrade to a V2 or V1 let me know. Once Gary opens DDSCB24 forum I'll make a post for any requests. As I said a V3 court could be dated and the team may have changed since the pictures I used were a couple of years old.
That about covers everything in the College Mod 24. Thanks for reading along and I hope you enjoy using it when time comes and are able to cut down some nets!
