I just think people are whining too much. I'm not one of the most ancient players, but i guess i understand some aspects of the game, especialy after the beggining of NBA predictions.

Just think that Driving and Passing are two VERY underestimated skills. Looking at Lebron James BB version, the guy had lvl17 driving, lvl 9 JS, lvl 11 IS and lvl 9 JR. Meanwhile, a top scorer at top divisions in BB is most likely a PG/SG with lvl15 JS, lvl13 JR, lvl 11 Driving.

Oh, and BTW, Posey was lvl15 I guess at JR. Even tough like lvl 10 at JS...



To FOREST: If you plan to pump up 3PT, please do with FG in general, because just like the "problem" concerning 3pt in comparision with "RL", FG %s are not similar to NBA either.

I agree there shouldn't be changes which favor one approach.

I've got one player with sensational jumprange and he shoots 41% of the 3-pointers, I think that's a lot. But it's probably the case because he is capable of more than shooting 3P's, which makes him shoot only when chances are good.

You win imo:D:D:D

AWESOME!!!!

we need a forums HoF, cause this along with the Noir story of Woe definitely belong in it.

Except for by the time we have the best jump shooter there will be the best defenders as well... and the shooting percentage goes down with better defense. I dont think i'm giving anything away there by saying that.

though maybe this explains what we see right now.. maybe people are overtraining defense... if everyone is shooting so poorly whats the point in having a better defense? to shoot even more poorly? how do any of the users have a sense that they haven't made their opponents shoot as poorly as they should...

or more accurately there is some incremental amount that you could make someone shoot worse if you were an incrementally better at defense... d opponents shooting / d defensive training if you will... now how does that compare to d your shooting/ d shooting training? i would argue that people should be trying to see which of those things are higher and choosing to train that one, because really you care about winning.

edit: course you really have a fixed amount of training so then you need to know

d def. training/ d training and d off. training/ d training and use the chain rule... to... um.... yeah... ok, i was a physics major.. im gonna shutup now.

EDIT: SOME OF THESE STATEMENTS MIGHT BE MISLEADING.. PLEASE READ (66639.86)

BTW PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A QUANTITATIVE ANALOGY

Where can these skills be found?
