I'd expected something else in this thread. More about the last minute, or should I say second.

To me it's unreal that when the clock is at 0 sec the team trying to catch up is still making that foul. Ok the game is lost anyway, so what do the 2 extra points mean??

it could mean a lot at the end of the season. In this game HCA is so important that those few extra FTs at the end can mean a diffrence.

I know a lot of effort has been put into the last minute, but it's still far away from ideal.

Also when you see a team come back 6 points without the leading team scoring, this run suddenly changes when the fouls get made. If the team is onmy 4 points behind with 45 seconds to play, don't foul yet, as the opponent didn't score the last minute and might not now. Chances are higher you will catch up if you don't change the current run, by handing them points from FTs where they struggled to make a field goal... Okay, if they DO score the field goal, that is ugly, but still I think you have a better chance to win.

Late game fouling is really ridiculous...
Fouling a guy with 00:00 left on the clock when game is tied is really smart!

Not all players are smart. Some of them may be really stupid.

Are you suggesting Intelligence should be another skill? How would you train that one? Set an age minimum for BB players so that they have to play a year of college first? And what would happen if somebody noticed that players from some countries tended to have higher or lower Intelligence than players from other countries? The controversy that would ensue could rip this game apart!

We do - we call it experience.

But the other thing that is really stupid is there is one 20 seconds to go, the other team is trying to catch up so they are intentionally fouling and they UTTERLY POLEAXE your player and injure them out for 4 weeks. What would that look like in a real game? Is there any way in a real game that if someone intentionally injured another player it wouldn't be 2 free throws, keep possession and the fouling player ejected? Then you lose the game and the next three or four as well, just beyond belief that such a stupid season destroying thing can happen.

I would also change the foul system, sometimes has no sense

Watch this game, its an example:

-With 2 seconds left, a polish player scores the 82-82, its drawed.

-0:00 and polish player makes a foul(wihtout play), the spanish player miss the 2 FT's and it goes to the OT the match.

On the overtime


-With 3 seconds left, a polish player scores 2 points and it make it 97-97.

-0:00 and a polish player makes again a foul(without play) and this time yes, the spanish player does it and Spain U21 wins.



I dont know if you think this is because of the experience, but all the players under u21 have low experience. I've seen lot of matches during this last seasons with similar endings and i doesnt seems because of experience, it seems me more because the game engine doesnt take in care this kind of things.

Most of the problem in this game engine is that the last minute, it hasnt realistic finals, you can watch amazing ends that in real life would have no place. Or for example(i know in Europe we do it a lot) but if a team is winning by 3 on the lasts seconds and it hasnt the posession its normal to make a foul so you dont let the chance ot the other team to go to the OT. Or even if you arent in bonus, you let the time run some seconds and you make the foul, that is normal to happen on Europe that we care a lot on this details.

I've seen lot of matchs, going to the OT after a team made 3 point shoot on the buzzer.


I dont know wether the BB's notice it, but it would be nice if the game engine could be more realistic on the last 1 minute of the game.

Yes, but when this happens more times than normal its not really realistic... and also take in care that is 2 seconds, from our side of the court... Im not even saying that we dindt call a time out to start the play from the middle of the court ;) (That would be too realistic hehe ¡)

Its something that really can be improved
