1) I agree, the naming should be changed

2) I think this thread should be part of the "Minor Suggestion" forum.

3) Ray allen does not necessarily has a large range, but has a very good JS skill (which is also not the precise name to be used).

4) "Jump Range" - I've counted 10 characters.
"Shot Range" - I've counted the same...

I had never actually thought of it like this to be honest.

Being a naitive english speaking australian, (actually, we don't speak English, we speak Orshtrayin-english) and the fact that i never saw the double meaning, makes me think that its probably ok for the english language, but I would be concerned about it being 'lost in translation' when translated to other languages.

Maybe run a poll?

"Who thought Jump Range mean Jumping Ability when they started?"

See what kind of response you get. Otherwise, its pretty obvious to me what it is.

From the game manual
Jump Range: A player with a higher jump range will find that the effectiveness of his jump shot decreases less with distance.


Ray Allen holds the record for made 3-pointers and has shot them at 40% in his career. Do you get paid to say stupid things or something?

i close this one, cause it is going off topic.

And i think the one who could change it, and have englicsh as their first language now know the matter and could decide if a change makes sense or not.
