I've had this problem in the past. And sometimes now as well.

It's probably because the opposing SF is relatively weak on OD, and so your team tries to take advantage by going to your SF, even though he is not that good of a jump shooter.

You could try using a better shooter at the SF position, and have your SF play a different position. Or, you have to just sell that player if he continues to chuck up shots like crazy.

I think you should get a better opinion from a more qualified player though.

you need to either:

a) change tactics
b) change line-up
c) train player to make him better
d) tell your opponant's SFs to get better OD
e) train your players to be better so they take mroe shots

I would just sell him

line up other players who will have better chanche to succes with their shots, your SF throws that many balls because he is the best option - when he throw alot the defense also get stronger on him and weaker on his team mates but when they are still to weak he statrs to missing a lot.

Let me get this straight, you want your PG and SG to take all the shots even though they are a worse option than your SF? Why?

I always wonder why a low-division team would spend cash on an old player who isn't all that good. If you want to win games down the road and maybe be competitive in a higher division one day, you need to train up from Div. V. I'd say cut your losses and dump your poor-shooting SF and train.


if you buy young player and can not train them, you waste money.

So start training with one thing, and buy competive cheap old players for the other positions seems to me like a sucessful way.

you like to train 5 positions, and you could manage that each player gets the training he needs?

Well like I said, I'm new to this game so I was given the impression that training all 5 posiitions would be a waste of time. In discovering this bit of information I decided to train PG/SG so there was really no need to have a young SF/PF on my team when I had all older PG/SG that were untrainable. I decided to sell the young PF/SF/C's on my team and use that money to buy older/cheaper replacements and young PG/SG trainee's. Upon getting the SF I knew he would shoot some but I didn't think he would take the most shots on the team. However, this issue has resolved itself by a quick change in my tactics and now my team is on a winning streak.

I don't really think I'm making that bad of decisions but I heard that SF's are pointless to train and you might as well just buy a good one up the road so that's what I'm planning to do.. Sell a few of my trainee's up the road and buy better Big's.

If you think about it. If your philosophy is shared by the majority of the community, then SFs are far from pointless to train because they are few and are hugely in demand. You could make a LOT more more money per player if you train SF.

Yeah, after training bigs and guards, I'm now attempting to train SF, because like you said, they are very high in demand. While training SFs is a pain, I think I've come up with a good system. Now, yet again, I am blowing up my team.

By the way new owners, don't play Princeton and DO NOT buy players you think will fit Princeton well. I'm cutting my losses and moving on from this bad idea.

I agree, if you're training guards, then buy quality vets for your frontcourt. A new player should not try to train SFs. Training is very complex and I learn something new everyday.
