Keywords: free, open-ended, email, www, human, sports, modern Description: Have you ever wanted to feel what it was like to be a big-time college coach? Recruiting pressures? Players jumping to the pros? Constant pressure from alumni? Grade problems with your star point guard? Well, now you can know what it takes to win on the collegiate level. The ECBL is a free simulation of collegiate basketball. You get to create your own major university, deciding factors such as academic pressure, party environment, stadium size, and much more. Then, create a team whose talents and style reflect your own decisions. While based on classic sports simulations like EEFL and EEBL, the Experimental Collegiate Basketball League also includes a role-playing component as well. Teams create their own non-conference schedules, and roleplaying in general is encouraged. Recruiting begins on March 1st. The season will begin two weeks later. I'm looking for anybody interested in starting a good thing. [ This is a new entry for the PBM List.
