and that's a skill that should be strictly related to FT shooting.


How do you figure? A free throw is a free throw, not a jump shot.

Yes, but I've never seen a good jump shooter who's an awful FT shooter

It's even more ridiculous that he has a 370k$ wage. Even Shaq or... any 5-year-old kid can do better than him.

But even Shaq trained FT ;-) Meanwhile this player never tried. So he never scored - it's elementary ;-)
If player (or his owner) doesn't want to train FT we can't put gun to his head and force him to train ;-)
In real life we can see crazy players too, like for example Manute Bol, who was probably only man on the world who made more blocks than points in career ;-) So if somebady in BB wants to have freak player, he should get him ;-)

Well for what it is worth, I have a PG who is pretty decent in all stats except freethrows.

Season 15 = 0-74
Season 16 = 1-18

The team had a kegger, and got drunk in celebrating his first freethrow.

Good player but now just a benchwarmer headed out the door due to freethrow inabilty. I could believe something like this out of a low post player, but pretty stupid seeing stats like this gor a guard. Oh well, the world is an imperfect place and IF a frog had wings it wouldn't womp it's ass every time it jumped.

While I admit that 0% FT is not the most realistic thing in the world, let's not forget this is a game, and for the game to work, some things have to be altered and adjusted. If the developers were going for realism, every player would have had at least 50% FT and nobody would ever train it. Thus, eliminating this interesting part of the game.. If you're not happy with your FT percentage, please train FT once in a while...

Only way for a professional b-ball player to shoot 0% is to handcuff him behind the back and blindfold him.

if you do this with Dirk Nowitzki, he still shoots 70% from the line :)

Maybe this FT studs are all former soccer players who haven´t been told they actually should shoot with their hands instead of using their feet to swish the ball trough the hoop...:)

This is an old argument here.


And most of the suggestions made would solve this issue, but nothing happens and sooner or later this game will fall apart because so many users quit because of the stagnancy we have for many seasons now.

Where I differ with you, perhaps, is the notion that things must be ever changing in order to keep people interesting.


I am not asking for an ever changing game. Leaks need to be plugged so the fun factor remains high or at least the events that frustrate the people playing this game should be removed.

I had a player that shot 50% behind the arc, 40% 2 pointers and 10% FTs - thats simply stupid and frustrating, the justifications for such players were even dumber. There are simple solutions to solve that issue and now we get cross-training, nobody asked for it and nobody knows what it will do. Why do we even have a suggestions forum then? Seems to me that this is the garbage can of BB
