You can do some things that help a little but it's not gonna change a lot. Training shot blocking will help, as well as OD and ID and stamina so it's not under 5 anymore. Then playing a slow pace and matching him up with a player that doens't draw many fouls can help too.


The bolded part is extremely good advice. It still won't always work, but the fewer possessions there are in a game and the longer you control the ball on your possessions the less time your player will have to draw defensive fouls (though, of course, aggressive guys can also take offensive fouls). The matchup part is probably the best advice, though - if you can find that the opponent routinely plays a player at PF that doesn't shoot many FTs and doesn't foul a lot himself, while the center draws fouls and fouls a lot himself, playing the aggressive guy against the PF can maybe have him get through a game where he might not make it to halftime against the C.

SB is arguably the most important skill, as a big with high ID but low SB Will contest many shots, but foul because his inability to properly block the shot.

If you cover guards you take less fouls.
What is his defense?

This is indeed an important part of it. Nachtmahr had some nice stats on how the fouling is very low with high SB players.

Ignore every advice you've read here, there's nothing you can do to decrease his level of fouling. Get rid of him!

I think OD help a lot with the foul trouble, i have two bigs with approx the same skill (one 16 id 6bl, the other 15 id 8 bl) but the one with high od makes less fouls (1.3 for 33 minutes) instead the other one a bit more (2.3 for 31 minutes)because the low od. I dunno if SB help a lot with fouls but the hidden skill it's very relevant and a player born aggressive will never be a saint


It can help a little, and it can hurt against weaker opponents. My aggressive big man has 10 OD and seems to get called for a lot of non-shooting fouls when going against lower quality big men, presumably because he thinks he should be able to steal the ball from them.

Another thing to consider *might* be offensive fouls... in addition to training defensive skills, I found with my PF that upping his handling helped on the offensive end. Guy used to foul out OFTEN (every second game, or more?) when he was younger - now, almost never does.

And I play many different tactics so that GDP can't be used against me so that's going to be tough to change. - Horns23





In my mind that is reason he fouls so much, he's not built to play all those tactics ,. I think what you should do is play him from the bench in a tactical effective manner. That's only way to lower fouls and keep him effective for you.. Just be warned here, you can lose the game this way because of his fouls issues. But he should perform better versus bench quality. More effective to your gameplay and Rotations.. It would be wise to find young guy in 2-3 season time.

If not ,Slowly move him back into starting rotations if you want based on tactics. In my opinion he's not a starter. Players who foul to much are not starters in my book... More High risk ,low rewards. That's what the bench is for in my opinion or produce.
