If it just assigned it to a player after a shot was missed, then there would be no point in having a shot blocking skill.


That is exactly what I am trying to ascertain. Many basketball games, both computer and boardgame varieties, first decide if a shot is missed and only then do a routine to see if a blocked shot should be assigned to a player. As you correctly observed, this after-the-fact assignment is rather pointless.

That's what I'm trying to learn--can anyone say for sure that the shot blocking skill results in more misses for the opponents and not just a tick mark in the shot block stat column.

If it is only a stat gathering function, then I'm not going to bother training shot blocking.

I highly doubt it would simply be a stat gathering function. That would just be stupid lol. I certainly hope it isn't. I guess only a BB could comment.

shot block results in either more block shots or more altered shots thus causing more missed shots.
more importantly though is the questions
is it worth the added salary? and is it better then just putting the same stats into inside def?

I agree. Stick with ID and eventually you will get a SB bump as well. I look at players with good SB skill as just a bonus but I don't plan on training it very often.

No matter where you go, there you are.
