- More postseason awards such as a third team all-conference, an all-defensive team of 5, an all-freshman team of 5, a most improved player perhaps, or scholar athlete of the year
- Postseason all-conference awards should be based on Conference-only regular season stats (like real life); relatedly - all-conference awards should come out before the week of conference tournaments
- Which leads to a request for conference-only regular season stats as a view option on a player's stat page
- Player stat view options should be Overall (including postseason), Conference only (just regular season conference games), and Postseason only (though this last one doesn't do much for me, honestly)
- Would love to see more small-school NBA draft picks, as well as International players who aren't players in the college game listed as drafted.
- If your team wins their conference tournament, you receive your congratulations email on earning a bid to the tournament the next day, instead of after the Selection Show.
- More AI factors in offseason coach hiring - former assistants, former players, getting hired by their former schools; more of an emphasis on regional hires (top assistant at a Big East school gets an America East head job, etc)
- I know this is probably impossible to do, but have the recruit classes break down by state/region in the same way they tend to do in real life - number of recruits from New York and New Jersey much higher than Maine and Vermont, for example.
A couple of other things that aren't requests per se, just observations that could just be me:
1) I know college hoops is all about the upsets, but there seem to be way too many postseason conference tournament upsets - the 1 seed goes out to the 8 or 9 over half the time in my sims it seems. The same goes for 16 & 15 seed NCAA tourney upsets as well... might need to be tuned down some as it's so rare, but happens in this game pretty regularly.
2) As the years go on in a sim I've noticed walk-ons gaining stars to the point where teams have walk-ons with 3 and 4 stars out of 5 who are starting, even for high major schools. Walk-ons should almost always be 1 or a 1/2 star, and rarely if ever better than a scholarship recruit.
Love the game and thanks to everyone involved in making it; hope I'm not too annoying.
