I'm thinking to go for like a team of all 10+ SB and see what happens....


The BB that went bot had such a team, nothing special about its defensive performance what I saw back then.

7 of my 10 league players have at least a 7 in SB. this season my team isn't competitive. but still, I have the 8th best overall defense and there is no other german team with more blocks in the first and second division.

When you say punting ID, at what levels is punting? I seriously doubt you will see crazy low levels. I have seen 16 ID with 4 SB but I know there won't be any 4 ID 16 SB being built.
Let's say a team takes 40 inside shots a game. Let's say 20 of those can be blocked.

I don't think it will be half, maybe let's say 15 can be blocked, wouldn't you WANT something to stop the other 25 shots? I could see a 14 ID 15 SB being effective, but punting the skill of ID(levels below 10) could be suicide.

The other question is when a player doesn't block a shot, does he reduce its probability by trying to block it or not? I think he should, in BB GE??? who knows. Maybe they are giving us more chances for a block to happen. If the attempted blocks don't reduce the possibility of a make...then SB is truly worthless.



You must be kidding.
That's exactly the way SB works according BBs.
The % that reduce SB vary from 0 to 100... when is 100% it's a Shot Block and you can see it in the Box Score as SB.
A Shot Block attempt may fail and still produce a missed shot. That case cannot be seen in Box Score.
A Shot Block attempt may fail and result in shot made.
A Shot Block attempt may fail, produce a shoting foul and FT.

I beleive that players with low SB level trying to made a SB tend to foul.

Yeah, but not in Box Score.
That's the reason for all the whining about the "SB issue".

Really???? Can you link me to where they have stated as such...
The way I have always read it is that if/when SB applies IF you are successful its 100% miss where as OD/ID can only offer reduction in probability once the shot is attempted. I have not seen that without an alteration or blocked shot that SB is always and constantly reducing shooting%...when you look at high SB players, they do SOMETIMES get more blocks...but they DO NOT seem to AT ALL reduce shooting%...LI/IS shooting %s are ridiculously higher than outside shooting. Because OD radically and consistantly reduced shooting% of outside shots...neither SB nor ID seem to do this for inside shot attempts...it seems they go in no matter


Please someone with Support give us the link.
