Both of my centers shoot over 63%. You can guess my inside shot rating but it's not even near to phenomenal. JR JS and DR do not contribute in FG% for C-s in any way.

i beg to differ. can a bb or gm pls comment on this?

the fg% is for all the shots made right? If a player "drives" the ball towards the basket and he is a Center or PF isnt than the driving skill the most important skill whether he scores or not? Or can it never happen that an inside guy "drives" the ball towards the basket??

ok than i will have to pay closer attention to the games i am playing. really would like to know this. you are right, a center will be more under the basket than other players.

BUT it also depends on tactics in my opinion. if you play 1-3-1 for example one off the 3 players is the PF not? And I would imagine in that case he would play further from the basket than he would normally.

The question I have than, does a C or PF never drive to the basket when he plays in one off these positions, or is it possible?

I am not trying to make a fuss about this. but there is a big difference between skills having no effect on a certain position and the shooting % or little effect. I always thought that it does have effect how little it is, if i am wrong, i would like to know...

My take on this is that it maybe correct BUT the versatility of his player is going to limit his offensive options to Look Inside and Low Post only.

If the players in question are only highly skilled in the ID/IS/RB area (and lacking HD/DR/JS) there is no way they can make the transition to SF and even at PF are likely to be caught short against a more astute tactical opponent.

In minor leagues/countries for sure the ubermonsters will run riot on any bot/weak human in most positions..

My experience is that driving has a negligible effect for big men (which makes sense, since if you're already under the basket, there's no space to drive).



thought that the driving skill shows how good a player can create his own shot and that you can need on all floor spots??

I guess that big men just teleport themselves from under one basket to under the other and back than. Never giving teammates a chance to pass them a ball somewhereelse than under the basket. Right? LOL. If big men can shoot treys (they do) they can surely drive. Waht is the exact formula in game engine for this is arguable but drives of bog men exist.

# Driving: Allows the player to create his own shot without a good pass from a teammate. Better driving creates shots more often and creates better shots on average.


that was from the rules it amaze me every time what you can find there so i think it is safe to say a center with high driving will be way more effective then a center with low one right?

I wondered about this myself just a short while ago, since then i´ve payed close attention to my games and i´ve become so convinced driving matters for Centers i´m training that exact skill this week.
