Hi, I made a post about this a while ago, but didn't get much of a response. The more I think about it, however, the more of a good idea I think it is.

Essentially, at this point in the game, the only thing one can control in this game in terms of fouling is the players he buys...
I think that there should be an "aggressive defense" tactic, either for the whole team, or preferably by position, for players to play aggressively on defense.

In effect, one that plays aggressive defense is more likely to foul, but has a slight boost in defense. There would also be an option to play less aggressive defense.

The benefits?

1. Easier to train those aggressive players.
2. More realistic...Dwight Howard has the most FT attempted this season in part because players would rather foul him than give him a close shot.
3. More tactics are always better.

I think this is a good idea, but will never happen. I can only imagine the crying in the forums about the ambiguity of whether the tactic works enough, or too much. on and on.

Why easier to train more aggresive players? This part I dont get.

if you choose the softie modus, you reduce the number of fouls even of your aggresiv player in comparision to the normal mode.

Ah. I thought he meant players whom he selects to play aggresively, not inherently aggresive players. My bad and thanks

Part of that is only because he has a better FG% than FT% - I would love "intelligent" players in this game that exploit the FT-weakness of certain players or teams. I myself have a SG that hit ~50% of his 3-pointers but less than 20% of his FTs. A good engine would foul this player on every of his 3-point attempts...

(an even better system would never have sharpshooters that cant hit a FT, but thats on another page of the book)
