Jump Shot: respectable Jump Range: average
Outside Def.: awful Handling: strong

Inside Shot: inept Inside Def.: awful
Rebounding: mediocre Shot Blocking: awful
Stamina: proficient Free Throw: strong
Experience: atrociousI play both of these players at PG, and Jordi looks like he should be better, but isnt playing better.
In terms of attributes that effect scoring:
They have the same JS (respectable), same experience (atrocious), and most of the time same game shape (strong to proficient).
Andrea has better handling (strong to mediocre) (
does handling help a player score?), free throw (strong to inept) (
FT hasnt been a big factor), and stamina (proficient to average).
However, Jordi has the better JR (strong to average) and IS (respectable to inept) and DR (average to mediocre).
I play both of these players at PG for 48 min. so they get training. I've always used run and gun, so I would've expected to see Jordi's higher JR show. The opponents always have both perimeter and inside defense ranging from pitiful to inept (most of the time awful). When I watch the games, most of Andrea and Jordi's shots do not come off a pass, so I also expected Jordi's stronger DR to show, as well as IS (in general). The only reason I can think of is the stamina, but stamina has not been a problem for my other players that I play 48 minutes (I haven't yet played a team this season that runs FCP if that matters). For some reason, (IMO) Andrea is overperforming and Jordi is underperforming when you look at the stats.
In regular season games:
Andrea's shooting: 55-123 (.447), 28.4 ppg, 3 PT: 18-46 (.391)
Jordi's shooting: 16-50 (.320), 17.5 ppg, 3 PT: 3-17 (.176)Counting cup and scrimmages:
Andrea: 9-19 (.474), 20 ppg, 3 PT: 0-5
Jordi: 5 - 33 (.151), 8 ppg, 3 PT: 1-8 (.125)I don't understand how Jordi can shoot so poorly against pitiful to inept defenses, while Andrea shoots a lot better.
Another question: Jordi is averaging 23.33 shots (from the field) and 8 3-PT shots per game. Not points, but shots. In his last game he went 2-20 from the field and 0-7 from 3-PT.
Andrea is averaging 24.6 shots (from the field) per game (and also 3.6 FT / game) and 9.2 3-PT shots / game. In his last two games, he has taken 68 shots, going 28-68 from the field and 26 3-PT, going 8-30 from 3 PT, plus 8 FT.
In run and gun, my PG is always taking way too many shots. Is this normal? They both have respectable passing, and I always play games using several good scorers like this one (at SG and SF):
Jump Shot: proficient Jump Range: average
Outside Def.: respectable Handling: proficient
Driving: average Passing: average
Inside Shot: respectable Inside Def.: inept
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: inept
Stamina: inept Free Throw: inept
Experience: pitiful -- (He has the highest exp and skills on my team and is shooting .493 from the field, shouldnt he be the go to guy?)
However, in a game where Andrea took 30 FG, 14 3-PT, and 6 FT, this player only took 14 FG, 7 3-PT and 2 FT.
Similar story with the game where Andrea took 38 FG and 12 3-PT. My 2 best scorers that game (played at SG and SF) both got a lot less shots than Andrea (this was against a team with both pitiful ID & OD).
