I'm pretty new to this game, but this doesn't seem right. I'm not sure how this is even possible, but somehow I had a player with 16 Turnovers in one game!! How is that possible? Has anyone else experienced that time of ridiculousness? (not sure if that's a word) Sucked I lost by one point and had 29 TOs to their 7!

It's called Full court press. Your C has which kind of handling skill?:) FCP has it's own weaknesses, stamina plays a role in fcp team losing in the end ofcourse if your handling is good enough.

What kind of full court press is any good without being set up after a dead ball/made basket? Not very many in real life. The only time my center should have the ball in that situation is on a rebound......

In this game FCP is agressive defence so that also means it is played not only after dead ball or made basket but all the time. Your dude rebounded 21 times. 10 of those were defencive. Now he can also be stripped when he get's the pass. Did you even watch the game live? I think he lost the ball not in the start of offence but in the middle usually.

Jason Kidd holds the NBA single game record with 14, and his handling and passing must both be legendary. So, if a guy in the best league in the world can have 14 turnovers in a game, I don't think it is too crazy that a guy in d.5 could turn it over 16 times.

And while I agrre with you that not too many teams press full court for 48 minutes, there are teams that do. For example, every team ever coached by Jerry Tarkanian.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

Jason Kidd is a pointguard so the ball is in his hands most of the time. Centers usually only touch the ball for a few seconds at a time.

but it hurts really for anyone to have that much turnover in a game just by one person.

The NBA record for turnovers in a game by a center is 11. Sixteen by a center in what is roughly equal to the NAIA seems plausible as well.

Yes, but some center have hands made from butter. They can't catch anything.

I agree that some TO numbers are quite off charts but it is a necessary thing payed for an option to play every player wherever you want. The game cnnot allow one skill to be irrelevant for some positions only.
