i think it would be interesting and more realistic if players of certain nationalities could be more likely to have certain qualities, as they often do in real life. for example, big men from europe could be better outside shooters, guards from america could be better at driving, chinese big men could be extremely tall, and african big men could be great shot blockers. i dont know how this could be implemented, but an idea i have is that players could have varying levels of ability to be trained in certain areas. also, not all players from a certain country should be the same. but as an example, maybe 30% of european big men could receive a 15% training speed boost in JR. just an idea. comments please.

I didn't mean to say that all Chinese people are over 7 feet tall. It just so happens that I can only think of 2 Chinese players in the nba today and both are over 7 feet tall. Maybe that wasn't the best example, but by my suggestion I just meant that if this is meant to be a somewhat accurate representation of real life basketball, then whether it's racist or not, it's a fact that players from different parts of the world have different styles. If you read over what I said, I never said every single player from China would be 7"5. I just think it would make it more interesting and realistic if for example you had a few european big men with abnormally good outside shots. Obviously not all european big men or else it would just be stupid.

such differences mostly come through the training philosophie, and you also had this in Buzzerbeater because national communities often had a little bit different philosophies. For example the italian community, didn't train much one on one for a long time on the guards. Maybe country X value high more in Big men so that more 7ft+ guys get trained(mostly those with low starting skills), and other communities go a lot more for multi skill etc.

And that also the reason why your prejudgices are partially right(i really don't like the chinese one), because the basketball school in baltikum and yugoslawia rate fundamentals and tactics higher then the american one who work great in the athletical department. Which leads in the end to different player types, even when the player looks from the start one quite similiar.

thank you that is what i meant. training in real life is different in different places so it should be the same on here. i didn't realize that communities had different philosophies on training though that is interesting and actually makes my suggestion pointless.

Players from the good soccer playing countries obviously gain an increase in drawing fouls.
