I apologize if I sounded rude and negative... I was more sarcastic than rude
It's just that I had to vent a little because every day I see 10 suggestions that make no sense at all...
Maybe the shooting % should be a bit higher, maybe it's good as it is..

Low division players don't always have low skill levels... and well if they do, they play against lower lvls of defense... and think about new players... they make a team, start playing the game in division 4 or 5 and have a 20% FG accuracy? who would continue playing after that... would be frustrating

once again sorry if it sounded like I was attacking you or being rude... I was sure I put a at the end of my post to indicate the lightheartedness of my post

Apology accepted, but again, my point is that in real life, shooting percentages are higher. Either the game is supposed to model real life, or it isn't.

I don't think you're grasping the scope of the changes I'm suggesting -- I don't think anything should change by "division." I simply think that when one guard with all "respectable" stats faces another guard with all "respectable" stats, experience being equal, the "die roll" (for lack of a better term) should result in a couple more made jump shots than it does now. I also think that the higher the offensive player's skills get, the more the "die roll" should weigh toward the shot being made. So guards in lower divisions would still be decent shooters at 40% or so.

Big men shoot better in BB, but I think their percentages still aren't quite right, and there also ought to be more fouls called in the post. I don't know how that would work into shooting. I have started to see a few more "and ones" on dunk attempts, which feels more realistic.

It was said here that FT % might be fine because people do not train FT that intensivly. Perhaps the shooting % are lowish because people tend to train defence instead of offence? Defence first offence later -> shooting % drops. I shoot a lot better against a team that has high offence capabilitys and low defence. I think the shooting % are fine atm.

the point is that no team can afford to have all good player course of finances... there is no team that could afford to have starting 5 - 150k/w, 120k/w, 80k/w, 40k/w, 40k/w... and couple of sub those would be equal to the starters... that in reality is possible...

Not true. those numbers are certainly possible. I would imagine managers wanting to risk smaller squads could operate with those sort of figure. Its more that the right players are few and far between to purchase at the moment.

Not much higher though :D

I reckon in less than 1 season you will see a starting 5 like this. (or lets say wage total $400k for starters)
