How to unlock the Hardcore achievement in NCAA Basketball 10 - Definitive Guide
First you want to go from the main menu to MY NCAA> MY NCAA BASKETBALL10 PROFILE> MY NCAA BASKETBALL 10 PROFILE MANAGEMENT then change auto save to off. Then head back to the main menu.
From the main menu go to MY NCAA> CREATION ZONE> EDIT PLAYER, and then pick a team such as Long Beach State out of the Big West and edit 5-6 players on the team so they become an overall 99. When choosing the 5-6 players, make sure they are either freshman or sophomores. You do not have to save your current squads, instead exit player creation and go to the main menu and from the main menus go to GAME MODES> DYNASTY MODE> NEW DYNASTY MODE.
In the new dynasty mode, go ahead and create a name for your coach. Then hit and now you are on the coaching option page. Select NO for coaching contracts, job offers, and coach firings. Also for starting team, make sure it is any team so you can select Long Beach State from the Big West conference.
Once you have selected your school, you are taken to Dynasty options page.

Then select start and begin your new Dynasty. In your first year MAKE SURE YOU WIN ALL HOME GAMES to unlock "Perfect at Home" and you win at least 30 games. When the season is over and you are taken to the off-season mode the "Perfect at Home" will pop up. Then for Year 2make sure you win at least 30 games and do that again in Year 3. After year 3 during the off-season mode the "Move Over, Duke!" will pop up. Now comes the tedious part and that is just to sim the remaining 27 years of your dynasty to unlock "Hardcore" It doesn't matter if you win any games in the last 27 years of your dynasty as now all you need to do is complete all 30 years of the dynasty.
Simulating an entire season is a 4 part process. 1- the Regular Season. Go to the last day on the calender and sim to it. 2- the Conference Tournament. Go to the last available day and sim to it. 3- the NCAA or NIT Tournament. Go to the last day on the calender and sim to it. 4- the Off-Season. Again, go to the last available day and sim to it to start the next season and this process all over again.
*Note* If you are still going for any other Dynasty achievements, it is recommended that you recruit during the off-season. Doing so will make victories much easier to come by.
