Here is my, I think, superb player, his skills are very good but look at his stats! They're awful! I played patient offense the first games, than base offense and now rund and gun (outside focus!) and motion (for him, because his jumper is very good and his inside shot sucks) I even set him as SG, because I believe the sg takes more shots but no, the last 2 games my PG took more shots... I don't know is there any trick I don't get? Oh yes the perimeter defense of my opponent always wasn't very good (not to say bad or awful)

He's earned 7.0, 7.5 and 6.5 in his last three games, so he's not awful. Also, he's not 'superb' he's a little above average for the level of players right now.

He does have two huge holes in his game, and that's his Atrocious inside shooting and Atrocious FT shooting. He has missed EVERY Free Throw he's ever taken. You can be fairly safe in assuming he has also missed EVERY inside shot he takes.

So his Strong driving means he will get to the basket often, but miss the shot close to all the time. And if he's fouled, he'll miss the FTs, too.

He can defend, pass the ball and take jump shots. But the FT and inside shooting are serious defects.

Yeah thanks I know this therfore I have tried to play motion, so he doesn't take inside shots... but what mainly bothers me is his bad shooting %... his offensive skills are good.

and by superb I meant compared to the other players in my division (a german 2nd league...), ok superb is a bit exagerated. Currently he is training jumpshots. Afterwars I'll be going with one on one, but as you said he needs FT as well...

thanks for now

He will take inside shots no matter what offense you play. That's why his shooting percentage is low. No matter what offense, a player will choose to take an inside shot over an outside shot because it SHOULD be a higher percentage. And since your player has a nice driving skill, he will try to get closer to the basket even though, for him, this is a very bad thing to do.

You will simply have to live with his low overall shooting percentage and understand the good parts of his game.

As to training, he needs INSIDE SCORING, not JUMP SHOOTING. His outside skills are very good, but his INSIDE SCORING is causing him to miss every close-to-the-basket shot he gets. His ONE-ON-ONE is very good, too.

If he is trained in Jump Shot at PF or SF, his Inside shot will also improve, albeit a tad more slowly. One-on-One will also improve both his JS and IS, while focusing on the driving the OP wants to train him in. Just a thought...

A decent suggestion for team training, but why not attack the huge problem of Atrocious IS directly? Remember, the lowest level ratings take the longest time to upgrade, if we are to believe the rules.

hmm, I thought the exact opposite...

I should go read it again I guess, maybe you should too.
One of us is obviously wrong...

Remember, the lowest level ratings take the longest time to upgrade, if we are to believe the rules.

From the rules:

For the other training types, players will improve more quickly not only with additional playing time, but also a more skilled player will improve more quickly. For example, a great inside defender and rebounder will find it easier to improve his shot blocking than a poor inside defender and poor rebounder would. This encourages you to develop players with a combination of skills, but there are many combinations of skills which work well together -- you can develop players who will be a good fit for your team's needs.

The part in bold seems to disagree with you ;)

Absolutely not. It is 100% in agreement with me. It is the wording I referred to, in fact.

Seems to be you :)

Hope this discussion helps everyone else who was mistaken, as well.
