I find it really weird that a player with high Jump shot and range skills with atrocious FT. It's impossible!
Training should be altered that when you train JS/JR, the player should get some % in Free throws.

I find it very odd that any player would have trained JS and JR up to high levels and not trained FT at all. That's completely unrealistic. There's no need to change anything; people just need to start training FT if they want to have good FT shooters.

Regardless of training, you dont see a good shooter with bad free throw shooting ... there should be a correlation between training JS and JR with FT; much like OD and ID or Passing and Handling or ID and RB...

I'd like to see an injured player be able to train FT or Stamina.


your wish is our command. 'snap finger' there, you can train injured players in FT and stamina.
and as an extra bonus, we added game shape to that list.


(to be honest, this has always been possible, team training does train the entire team, regardless of injuries)

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

I think a possible solution would be to either get rid of the FT-skill at all and make it a combination of Jump Shot, handling and experience, or to award bonus levels for every X amount of skill points in JS, HN and XP. (for exapmle: 12 JS, 9 HN and 4 XP would give +5 FT -> 5:1 ratio)

Selling flawed game design as a feature is bad practice imo...

Well.

In real basketball, players aren't born 85% FT shooters.. they practice them every day. If you don't, you're no good at them.

this is true. Drazen Petrovic (if you know who he is), despite being one of the best shooting guard ever he was practicing the free throws every day. stayed after practice and kicked about 200 free throws.

I think the issue OP adresses is the fact that we have hundreds of players in this game that shoot ~50% from the field, ~45% from behind the arc and 15% from the charity stripe. I had one of those players and find it "too" unrealistic to be ignored.

If we consider this to be okay (sharpshhoters that cant hit a FT), there should at least be the possibility to dress some henchmen that foul such a player on every shot attempt.
