Stamina is hurting him a lot more than FTs. Yes his FTs are poor as it is around 50% or so but if you also look at the FTs given up by his team, you will notice that the other team takes more FTs than he does on the majority of his games. This is an indicator that either 1. his defense just plain sucks and/or 2. his guys can't keep up with the other team on defense and hence fouls which is directly linked to stamina.

I think he needs to work on both. But in the short term, stamina will help him more as he doesn't take that many FTs to begin with.

At 50% FT, I would train FT now, and train ST in the off season. Making a team better at FT will have a direct impact on your score. And if you can score 2 to 3 more points in your games, it is worth it. Of course training ST will help also, but it is hard to know the effect.

When I first started this game, my team shot 47% FT the first season. I got so pi$$ed watching the games, I spent 4 straight weeks training FT. I know now that was a bad move, but I didn't want my team shooting 10-22 at the line and lose by 2 points. Now I just train it once a season, and the team shoots around 70% which is acceptable.

Again, it would not be bad to train ST now, but I think when your FTs are low, you can get better results from FT training.

Just my 2 cents...

As everyone knows it is all-star week, and i dont know if i should train stamina, or free throws.....my team has bad stamina, i know that...and a few of my losses, i could have won or gotten alot closer if I had made my free throws...any ideas?


The way I would answer it is look at the players you believe will be the longer term players in your roster. If you know you plan to sell half your guys and just build around 2 or 3 players do whats right for them and dont worry about the rest. They will eventually be succeeded by new players who you can then shop for with similar strengths/weaknesses.

Could a boost in stamina help the free throws? Meaning, if the players aren't quite as tired when they get to the line, wouldn't their chances of making the shot go up a bit? That is true in RL of course, but would it be the same here?

I don't believe so. However, only a BB would really know the answer to this.

I did the same things a few seasons ago, but I don't think it was a dumb move. I fired my level 5 trainer to start season 10, hired a level1 trainer, and trained FT for 5 weeks straight. In the championship tiebreaker game that season, I shot 18-21 from the line and won by 3.

As far as whether to train FT or Stamina, I think they both help your team, but FT shooting seems to get much better each pop you get, especially at lower levels. But I agree with Superfly even more so. Help out the players you plan to hang onto.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

Nice idea but this will only work if you are changing training plans and you could do without proper training for 4-5 weeks.I will try this one next season when i will change from big men to shooters.
For stamina i have to say that it does help the team very much at least that's what i think.Let's say you have 2 SG and one has awful and the other has strong.In the last half of the game your second one will probably maintain his scoring/assist average as opposed to the other one witch will more or less kill your game.
I'm not saying that games cannot be won by FT but i prefer that my player play the hole game with their normal skills than a close game that as you say will be won by a marginal difference.
As I've seen on the transfer list a lot of user don't train stamina and this could give your team an advantage.

I think stamina is pretty important. I hate bidding on players with less than inept stamina.


I hate training a skill that the more I build the more it goes down each week. (i know skills drop with age - so I'll add that i'm referring to trainees).... FT skill ups are great because you know you won't see them drop at the next week(s) training update!

I don't think that training stamina will increase the weekly lost of stamina!
