Back in the 1970s I played a card based simulation game called Strat-O-Matic. They are even still a thing. Fast forward to 2008 and I came across a sports site from Cincinnati called Whatifsports.
They are now owned by Fox Sports.
They have several games available, but my favorites are the College Dynasty games: Gridiron Dynasty and Hoops Dynasty.
In both games you start out with a Division 3 team as a coach, you evaluate talent and recruit a team.. Set a lineup and play against other human and Sim coached teams. Eventually you can end up at a Division 1 power 5 conference team as the head coach.
Needless to say, I have spent many hours pouring through players attributes, recruiting players and building teams. I am OK at the game (have won a National Championship in both.. But at the Division 2 level and not Division 1).
I personally like Hoops Dynasty more, but like both games.
Hoops Dynasty is now doing a promotion for a free season with Promo Code: FREEHD16FB
Not sure how long the free promotion will last, but they have a $4.95 promotional Signup for Hoops Dynasty even if you are outside the first season free promotion.
If anyone grabs a team and has any questions, you can contact me there via sitemail: hughesjr
