In the end all you can do is replace the aggressive players. Sad but true. Or ... since you foul a lot and the opponent gets a lot of free throws, maybe you could improve your free throw defense, eh?

I hear what you're saying, and that makes sense. I'll take a look at some of my guys to see if A) they've shown a drop in fouls/ over the seasons, and if it correlates to a specific skill increase. It might be a hard analysis, though, because for most of my guys they've been increasing in a variety of skills, and experience, the whole time. Plus, it seems like playing in a higher league would 'undo' some benefits from training since you're playing against tougher competition, so that will need to be taken into account.
Or ... since you foul a lot and the opponent gets a lot of free throws, maybe you could improve your free throw defense, eh?We employ extremely ugly cheerleaders for precisely this reason (or, at least, now we know that it's precisely for this reason).
