What's your FT count compared to the rest of the league?

I have a player, a starter actually, with 1 HA and 1 DR (but pretty solid PA). He shoots a lot, more than my Chinese big who has obviously much more DR and he does really well in offenses where the team look for a good shot (so LP over LI for example). I think if all of the players have good PA they will find a decent shot most of the times. Clearly at NT level you will probably need the DR as well because PA will fail more often in front of much better OD.

In guards if you forego HA/DR training though it will reduce the overall speed in outside skills training which is nasty. Things you can do too get a player with high HA and lower DR:
- Pick players with higher OD than JS, higher HA than DR
- Train OD before 1v1 or HA so that it's higher than JS and it will pull HA more than JS pulls DR
- Train HA instead of DR

I'd say I'm probably in the lower third of FTs if we were to exclude end of game fouls. Part of it is just that outside offenses generally don't draw fouls to begin with, and if there were any truth to the "aggression helps you draw fouls too" theory, my guys generally don't foul a lot either.

And yeah, the training consequences of skipping 1v1 is unfortunate. Training relatively tall guys for several seasons in JR was not fun, nor was it great fun going back after the several season SB detour and trying to add OD. But let me tell you, training JR is the best thing you can do as long as you're willing to overlook that it's slower, trains fewer people than 1V1, trains a lot fewer skills than 1V1, causes a nasty salary spike combined with JS and OD, and only requires OD to stop it.
