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.

Where can these skills be found?

PLEASE READ (66639.86)

My season stats full squad to date are;

0.475 FG%
0.339 3FG%
0.666 FT%

I haven't the time or desire to break it down to guards only but this is my whole squad from the start of the season - including scrubs playing a lot of the time out of position.

Granted the average level of opposition may not be as strong as other leagues but if I was to consistently field my best 5 in a league game rather than continuously sacrifice positions and minutes for cup/BB3/training I would guess my figures would be higher and I'd be surprised if they weren't the same next season after my rivals have caught up a little bit on my team ratings.

It would be nice to see team stats wtih all other fixtures included or at least a filter system so you can differentiate between cup/league/playoff/PL etc...
PL is bound to be the most accurate as most people enter competitive leagues for their teams level and always field their best lineups (bar some tactical experiments)

Mine:

FG 38,9%
3PT 24,6%
FT 63,1%

and i don't think that my opponents shoot much better, but i score around 90 Pts per game and increasing the percentages to normal level ocould make the result unrealisitc and could change the balance betwenn inside and outside strategys.

I think comparing stats of the top leagues would be more appropriate as a gauge for how realistic the game engine is...

Not sure I necessarily agree. Your players might not be top-level players, but neither are the players that are defending them. In fact, since you're dominating your league, I'd expect your offensive stats to be better than the average NBA team.

edit: I guess I agree in the sense that teams in the top leagues should be somewhat evenly matched, so their stats should be similar to stats in the NBA. But that doesn't mean everyone else should be stat-wise below NBA level.

FG% 45
3FG% 33
Ft 65

Interesting to note that 4/5 top 3FG shooter by % are big men, who have crap js/jr, including one thats 6/16 from deep. I have 5 players with 12 or better JS (all hav 8-10 JR, except one with 7). Only 1 of those 5 shoots over 30% from 3.

Why do big men shoot so well from 3? Is that one of those GE balancing issues that needs to be addressed?
