Maybe this belongs in Help, but is the Free Throw stat the only thing that affects free throw percentage? My guy with highest FT stat is middle of the pack in terms of completion percentage.


It seems that experience and fatigue may play a role in FT shooting.
I once had a reserve player come in during the playoffs and miss four FT in a row, and he was either an 8 or 9 FT shooter, so I chalked it up to his Pitiful experience.

Also, sometimes players just inexplicably are terrible from behind the line for a season, but then recover back to normal the next season.

A lot were told there and i don't wana to talk about same things. But i didnt saw a player shooting less than 25-30% free throws... No matter is it Lithuania, Euroleague NBA or Chinese league.. For sure it would be stupid to make everyone to shoot at least 50%.. But as it was mentioned , player could get something like 0.3 of Free throw from Jump Shot training.. It makes sence, as if I'm a good shooter , i cant bet total looser at free throws.

Train FTs a couple of weeks a season. All star week and off season week. Problem solved.

I guess this is a neverending story and I have accepted the stubbornness of the people defending absolute "0" skills by now. A person going pro should be able to do everything it takes in his profession at a certain, below "average joe" average.

As FTs are just another form of shooting, there should be some correlation. It makes no sense that a world class 3 point shooter (which usually means 35% in this game), can shoot 0% from FT for a never ending career. If we want this game to resemble a real life simulation, those anomalies should not happen.

I am training FT, which does not mean I am agreeing to your rationale.

LOL I thought 17% free throw shooting was bad. That same player is shooting 3% this season. Literally. He's 1 for 29. Kids in elementary school are better at free throws than that.

I actually think that the absolute 0 skill FT guys are a memory of the past to now that cross training is introduced. Well for players being trained at least that is.
Ammonetter(or whet ever his name was) the legendary pass only PG that never made a FT was on a bot team and had training stripped from him before the CT was introduced.


My player Bo Taylor had absolute 0 in passing for seasons, without training it specifically it did not change. So maybe crosstraining does not work for 0 skills.
