Ooo... nice point. Checking with buzzer-manager on the offenses run...

Hmmm... that definitely could be it.
However, looking at buzzer-manager's chart of what offense my opponents played, there are still games that fall outside that, and games where I am playing against an inside offense and don't accumulate so many.
The three games Astragoth listed as "proof" were Motion/BO/Patient... tho' there's definitely more LI played in my PL than outside offenses, and my worst foul efforts in the PL do tend to come against LI than outside offenses. You might be onto something there.

You also have to look at the quality of the team that you're playing. If you play against 6 graders, you will most likely foul less, than If you played against NBA superstars.

Very true. But to return to the examples provided by Astragoth, two of those teams are pretty weak.
Kanazawa Kings are a JBBL team (1st Div in Japan), and played a LI offense. Against Kyoto Shogun and Shikoku Otaku - two of the best 3 teams in my Div - much lower fouling. Kyoto has the best center/PF combo in our league.

I believe you're quite possibly right as far as LI goes. But I still think that there's something missing in that... or maybe those games are simply exceptions. I do know that I've seen other people have similar thoughts with PL games - I'll try get in touch with them and get them to post their experiences.

The amount of fouls definitely depends on the defensive prowess of the defending players, which are determined by the other teams offense type. Some research, like the one you're proposing to do would be most welcome too, in order to substantiate such a claim.

Not according to the stats on buzzerbeater-manager. And no-one as strong as Kyoto, Otaku or Kanazawa. Two players with 5 fouls in 14 minutes (the team with 15) doesn't seem a wee bit extreme to you?

I don't entirely agree Wolph. Firstly, you are unaware as to the strengths of the teams in my PL (whilst having better balance overall, I would guess that none of the teams in my PL are as good as Kyoto/Shikoku), and secondly - no: two of the teams Astragoth pulled out were against weaker teams (one of the "near bots" you mention). Against the stronger/better teams, Shikoku/Kyoto for example, I have been fine foul-wise (13/15 fouls respectively - Kyoto played an inside offense, Shikoku an outside).

Generally speaking, I foul substantially more in PLs than I do in regular games. It's... weird.
