some players are more "physical" than others.. ie get fouled/foul more.


Here: (25962.1)


So what's the deal guys? Is this a hidden skill or not? This is big deal, because if it is based on a combination of visible skills we can train the guy to not foul as much.

BUT if it is a hidden skill then he will ALWAYS be a fouler.

Please answer this.

Yes, there is a hidden "physical" skill.

It's not strictly good or bad -- you just might want some players who are physical, and some who aren't.

You probably don't want a team of all very physical players. However, it's probably the easiest thing to get from looking at the boxscore page -- if they average 4+ fouls per game, they're probably very physical players.

I've gotta say, the decision to include hidden skills is a very poor one and one that will likely alienate players.

In short, I hate it and think all the skills should be visible. It's hard enough to do well at this game, you shouldn't have to guess what hidden skills might be out there as well.

I fully agree. I just almost paid 2.6mil for a stud SF - but then I noticed he was fouling out a lot. Because this wasn't publicly known before, his new owner has a foul machine that he can't do anything about.

What other hidden skills are there - and why is that skill hidden?

And if a player has higher experience level, will that mean that his 'foul more often' skill will be low?

It is looking like BB-Mark is busy scooping up all of the foul machines out there. Check out some of his NT players that foul out after 10 minutes.

Reed Mcallister committed his 1st foul on the obstretrician that delivered him.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

lol

an other thought: since Charles said NO, and Mark said YES, it in fact was Mark who hid it from Charles.... oh noooooo! ;)
(do we even know for sure Charles said no? ;) )

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

Why isn't this mentioned in the rules?
