i have had the same weird experience in my last game... My opponent played full court press, (it was my private league match) and I had 25 turn overs. Normally not the end off the world, wasnt it that my players with by far the highest handling and passing skills (all above respectable and 2 players with even prolific skill and prominent skill) had by far the most turn overs... doesnt make sense at all...
I have no believe in the GE being realistic, not the old one and not the new one. I still do believe that the best teams (i mean with this best trained players and highest enthusiasm) win so I will keep going...
With regards to assists, I have players with prolific passing and only averaging 4 assists in a game and I see players with 8 or 9 or 10 assists on a regular basis. I doubt very much they have alot higher passing skills, so again doesnt make sense to me at all...
