I have a quick question. I have a few players(gaurds/wings) who have similar offensive skills. No one players is supremely better than the others. But throughout the season it seems that one player tends to get off alot more shots than the others. So if they were both given equal playng time, one player would take about 12 shots compared to the other player taking about 20. This is just something I have observed over the course of the season. Is there any answer or reason for this, or is it just something behind the surface that is hard to explain? Any thoughts?

tactics is one. if you play say an outside tactic, then the one with the better outside shot will get the ball more often because he has the best shot available.

Defenders, if the person defending your SG is a scrub, and the person defending your SF is an allstar, chances are, the SG will take more shots becuase they will be better. THe game engine tries to find the best shot possible, and that is how some player shoot better than others.

Perhaps even the passing skill is involved, if player 1 can pass well, but player 2 cant, then player 1 will get solid passes to player 2 and player 2 will attempt more shots because of how good the shot selection may be. and vice versa, if player 2 gets it to player 1 with a bad pass, then it wil lbe a worse shot attempt, and palyer 1 probably wouldn't take it.

Hope that helped

anyone may feel free to correct me to clear up any confusion.

Thanks for the input. I typically play push the ball offense, which I do not think favors either the sg or the sf. Over the course of the year I am sure there have been matchups where each faced a tough defender or a bad defender so I think that is neutralized over the large sample size. But the passing skill makes sense and it is possible that one of the players is just more aggressive looking for their shot. I guess it is what it is. Thanks for the points you pointed out, Ill take that into consideration when I evaluate my players.
