in almost every game i've lost this season the oppostion team has shot about 20 more points then me from the FT line ( and had about 25 more attempts). Its pretty safe to say in all, except 1, that was the reason i lost. How do i remedy this?

I ask the same question about 2 seasons ago and then i was informed that it was my players stamina, but after many a week of training stamina the problem was still there. Now, i know i'm limiting the amount of FT's i get a game by playing outside focused offense but what the problem is, is the amount of times my players are fouling sending the opp. to the line. Often i'll get 30+ fouls called against me a game.

For people that had the same problem and remedied it, please, i need your help.

yeah thats what i was afraid of. i just find it a little weird that in Ekeh and Scorzara's NT matches foul trouble is rarely a problem, especially in last seasons NT matches. it seems the more i train defense the more fouls i get.

Just out of curiosity, what level shot blocking do those players have? I have one or two guys that habitually foul a lot and their SB is quite low.

Edit: These are perimeter players. I've yet to make any correlation between low shot blocking and fould on Inside guys.

I've noticed this as well. I dont know if it's sheer coincedence or not but I've been training my Outside Defence for the last few weeks for my guards and their rate of fouls seems to have gone up .....and my better defenders and the ones which seem to be fouling more too which is quite disheartening.

I'm changing up my training a bit now to see if i can find that elusive alignment of skills that will hopefully complete my players a bit more and hopefully stop them fouling so much.

They're both repectable shot blockers

"Retarded" is a hidden attribute? I thought you could just tell by looking at them, i.e.: (790523), (4487875), etc.

I find my players wiith better defensive skills foul alot less. For example Kevin shields fouled out regularily the first season i had him but now his OD is up to prominent from respectable and he averages less than a foul a game now so i would say defensive skill plus the player he is matched against helps.
