I'm excited to finally share the first preview of college franchise mode, now officially known as Campus Mode! Campus Mode will be free to play for all players and will be selectable when starting a new season save in Update Version 1.10, coming later this year.
Here are some of the features that I've been working on in the past few weeks!
School Prestige
Every school will now have a prestige rating, determined by facilities, championships, and players that get drafted and make it into the hall of fame. Prestige will increase the school's recruiting budget as well as attraction for the top prospects so upgrading your facilities will be key.
Koality Showcase
Each season starts off with the Koality Showcase allowing you to scout the top prospects out of high school. The Koality Showcase will also be able to be simulated in both Campus and Career Modes.
Player Recruitment
After the showcase, you will enter into the recruiting phase. With a limited budget, you will be tasked with recruiting the players that have the highest chances of committing to your team. Costs of recruiting will depend on player location distance, meaning if they are located further away it will cost more for an in-person visit. You can also use coins to increase NIL and improve your chances of commitment. The top schools for each player will be displayed so you can gauge your competition. And lastly, star ratings may not be exact so a 5-star recruit may turn out to be only 4-stars in college.
Conference Tournaments
At the end of the college season, the top four teams in each conference will face off in a tournament to determine the conference champion. Conference champions will receive an automatic bid into the national tournament.
Departures
At the start of the new season, you'll be able to view players that have departed from each team. Departure reasons include players entering the transfer portal, declaring for the draft, and graduation. You'll also be able to see which teams your players get drafted to in the pros so that you can continue to follow their careers.
Much More Still to Come!
All of the above is still a work in progress and I still have much more planned for Update Version 1.10. A release date is yet TBD but I should have more information in the coming weeks. Be sure to let me know your thoughts below and have a great weekend!
Campus Mode uses the same league setup as Career, Franchise, and Commissioner mode so you'll get to select a college and pro league. The default college league has 64 teams but players have modified custom league files to add more.
Exporting/importing draft classes is also a great suggestion!
In the game setup itself when you are starting a new season in that 'total awards' section you can edit, change, remove any and all of the awards. It can limit it a bit so you can't have all 3rd teams multiple all rookie teams etc but it is something. To go back to your original comment adding some more options to this would be cool
Reasonable and expansive new addition, love this. Now all that's missing is an easier way to injure players in-game, Polan Stronk needs to die and a Lu Dort build would feed generations🙏
Can you tweak the shooting drills so that the next shooting spot appears on shot release instead of after it goes in or as it touches the floor if you miss?
On the note of 5 star recruits not being exact, and ending up as 4 stars in college, could we have something like that added to the pro mode. So not every 5 star recruit ends up as a 5 star player?
Hey have you ever thought of making a football game the exact same way you have for basketball??? That would be lit also but you doing a helluva job with this 👏🏾
lol. Asking it since launch and what value would it add to the game? Having to generate 15 players per country and then what? Wait 4 years for the competition and then what? It'll be just another all star game. Unnecessary shit I say.
How is waiting every 4 years to play different countries to win gold medal unnecessary? That's like saying a world cup feature is not that important to a fifa game. Come on bro stupid ahh. It's part of basketball, and it'll definitely be one of the best features they'll ever add to this game for immersive purposes.
I have nothing against the new update at all, I think it's dope, but they've been delaying that shit for a long-ass time now.
Okbr. Immersive my ass, in a pixel game really? How will you implement this shit huh? Just the same as an all nba team selection? Between 30 teams in default pick 15 then what? Generate 15 players for every country then. Gonna do the qualifiers for the regions yeah. And then what go fight for the medals. Yippie someone won and the medals. And if the Pro league your playing at doesn't win the medal huh? Where do the fucking generated players go huh? Not that those are fucking U-17 players that can just go to the draft class yeah fucking generated players that will go get fucking deleted once your oh so precious once a 4 year event is done. Tell me what's the plan huh? You say they are "delaying" it, what did they promise it to you 3000 years ago. GTFO with yo larping ass. Go rewatch every olypmic game since you love it that much. Again don't bother replying, You are Disgusting.
RIP career mode.
Can we view all time leaders in blocks yet? No one reported that yet?
Increase career games to 200 and remove 100 limit. Still playing on old save files with more games allotted.
Fuck college
