Even at high levels you often miss that crucial foul before the opponents three ... ask us Germans and don´t mention "Turkey" when doing it ...


I understand, but I think the leading team should however try to block them before that. If even with this choice the others are faster, they deserve to make the shot, but, if I well remember, I've never seen the GE follow this kind of tactics.

Honestly - I´ve won games when I got the D-Rebound with 0:01 left on the clock and connected on the shot within time without calling a Timeout or shooting a three. Last second´s game engine is horrible at times. Just not the mentioned example ;)

Wouldn't this fall under the realm of "Experience"?

Yes, they told me about such finals in BB Italy. :)
I suppose it would be fair that, if they decide to fix the last seconds, all these issues will be properly faced, mine , yours and any other known :)

What level of experience allows a player to go from his foul line to the opposing foul line in the space of one second?

Yeah, had something like that happen in my league game Saturday.
1 second left, other team missed a shot. 1 second left, my Center player, a "natural" PG, got the rebound . 0 seconds left, he had threaded a pass to my scoring guard who missed a shot in the paint.

What a laser beam that pass must be to go full court in less than a second and give a guy enough time to shoot from less than 8 feet away.

I suggest BB concentrates all its effort on fixing late game scenarios. It just does not make any sense to be down 1 point with a minute to go and foul and foul and foul until you get them in the bonus, so they can extend their lead.
It's so flawed!
Career stat was a wonderful addition, but I would give it up together with some other improvements for late game scenarios that make sense.
Time outs is another puzzler. Not taken when the momentum swings or when useful, i.e. after a RB with 20 secs. left and down by one possession, but instead when the lead has ballooned and 1 sec. left. It's gotta be a way to put some exceptions in the GE.
I don't even understand how people get to RB and layup in last sec. craziness, if I'm down by 1 point with a minute to go, I'll sure lose by 6!

Just adding to the late game issues...

I think it's a bit silly that, in last minute games, the losing side is always able to foul so quickly. Pass the ba- BAM FOUL! Sometimes this will happen, sure. Other times, the winning team will be able to get a good few seconds off the clock.

There has been a number of suggestions to add skills indicating athletic abilities of players. Here is one:

but then people will want fast breaks and other features resembling real life, it's a dangerous route to follow for BB.
