No one should be incapable of hitting free throws, like guys who are 0-100 or worse for their careers. No one should even hit under 30% of their free-throws, especially players who would hit at least 50% of their uncontested jump shots from 10-15 or 23 feet out.

Surprised it hasn't been fixed in over 16 seasons. A change would be simple and more realistic.

It is probably being fixed by cross training. Probably something like every 3 JS pops= 1 FT pop.

to be honest, i have reconsidered, and think that the FT skill and percentages are on spot. Meaning that, this being a basketball manager, not a real life thing, you should actually train FT in some weeks to get results in that are. Maybe it's not supposed to be realistic.

If we want to emulate a real life sport we should also try to emulate the real conditions. A sharpshooter that drains threes at 45%+ and cant hit 100 free throws in a row is not realistic. I dont know how it always comes down to the manager being wrong and so few people want to admit that the engine is broken in this regard.

Pete Maravich was realistic enough

do you suggest to change the training too, in my eyes it is unrealistic how fast players at pro level increase here ;) And that must playr literally don't do anything at training.

Nope, I think that training in general is pretty solid. Why do you ask? This thread is actually about free throws and the impracticable, or in many cases, impossible rate in which they are missed.

But while we're asking questions, do you feel that players who miss thousands of free throws in a row is acceptable? How about a player with 20 jump shot who misses thousands of free throws in a row? That can't be preferable for people.

And of course training speeds are unrealistic. But it's for the better of the game that way. I wouldn't want to sit around waiting 18 real years for my players to acquire decent skill sets.

if they don't care to train free throws for a while and let instead miss they player miss 1000 free throws, i think the like it because there player get somehow famous etc. and they don't miss the extra point they would get through proper training.

If the coach can't be bothered to train a bit of free throws instead of however long he spent working on JS, then his player will miss lots of FT's... If you think your player is missing too many, train it, thats why the option is there...

Also, I still stand by my earlier comment, that a free throw is a free throw, and definitely NOT a jump shot so why/how would JS abilty relate to FT's.. All these high % free throw shooters you speak of shoot close to a 1000 FT's a day, EVERY day. That is why they hit 90%, not because they hit 45% from downtown regularly..

I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I cant accept not trying. - MJ

For real? Are you seriously asking how JS ability relates to FT ability?
