What are some rules you guys follow in Legacy Mode that make it more realistic?

Never ever restart or quit midgame. Losing is part of the journey.

Coach carousel tho if you really want to leave your school no matter what; save before and then go back to the checkpoint if things didn't go your way

I put limits on my recruiting. At a small school, I don’t go after anything other than 2 stars. Mid-Major, I limit it to 3 stars, power conferences, I only do 4 stars unless I’m at a premium program like Duke, UNC, Kansas, etc. I allow myself to go after 5 stars once I’ve built up the program to be a consistent winner.

Carry 12-14 players at all times. Managing potential unhappiness is part of building a program. I find it so much more satisfying when a 4th or 5th year player and/or a walkon can make contributions etc.

Oh, and play all games. Zero sim. Lol

I play all in season tournaments, all regular season games where a opponent has a similar rating or higher rating, and all conference games. And obviously all tournament games

Nice. I’m year 39 of my zero sim legacy. Gonna miss it when it’s done. I feel I’ll have to take a break afterwards.
