2009 College Basketball PS3 Simulations
How This Works: I bought the 2009 EA Sports NCAA 2009 Basketball game and have been running simulations (similar to the ones I did in NFL and College Football that caught fire for a while). I set the rosters with lineup changes, injuries and all that. Run the game one time with all updates made to the game style and player performances and post the results here.
Examples: I tried this out using all kinds of different settings, rules settings, style settings and think I have finally come up with something good. The Uconn +2 over Louisville I posted last week was a PS3 Power Simulation and I ran MARQ-USF last night just for fun and South Florida lost by only one point to Maquette on PS3 but won in real life as a big underdog and the list goes.
Game Selection Process: I will only simulate TOP 25 games with betting lines that opened at -10 or less because the PS3 is not accurate with large spreads. If there are no games available at betting times, I will simulate televised games with decent lines that could produce accuracy and results so bare with me for now. I won't post scores because I have noticed that they are sometimes too low and sometimes too high but nonetheless this is good stuff just have patience.
The Goal: Well this is simple, 65-70% is the goal right now and that would be considered a success if I could hit it.
Alright so for now I will keep one big thread for the simulations and let's see how things go. I know the feedback is gonna be crazy like it always is but this is for fun, believe me when I say EA Sports spends a lot of time producing very accurate teams on their sports games so style versus style effect makes sense.
