Lets take this guy for example (7095293) He probably is the worse FT shooter in the game. He now has more then 0/1000 FT


You should tell him to try the underhanded technique. I heard it works wonders.

Basic shooting fundamentals apply to both jump shots and free throws. They're similar. You're arguing they're "completely different". I'd like to know why you feel that way. The main difference, for what I can gather, is that with a free throw you bend your knees and propel yourself upwards to gain momentum/strength and on a jump shot, you jump and gain momentum/strength that way. The similarities are the basic principles and fundamentals, the difference is uh, not much? Maybe you can explain it.



I'll try and give it a shot. I can't really find a video or the place where I've seen it, but it was something like "Shooting Fundamentals with Isaiah Thomas". He was not explaining they are completely different(you do use your hands in both of them), however, he did say that they are significantly different. And I know I've seen guys that make a ton of jump shots and miss the easy FTs. The motivation behind this what he was saying was that you do not shoot FTs in a rhythm and you have to actually stop your whole momentum and focus. MJ was also sustaining the same thing.

We are, however, wandering away from the topic of this thread...

Everything is fairly clear and simple, this is a basketball manager. You want a good defensive team, train OD, ID, you want offense go for 1 on 1 and JS and JR. Why should you be able to defend a three pointer if you never trained OD, or if you have atrocious OD, well, you shouldn't. Why should you be able to be a leading rebounder if you never trained rebounding... the list can go on.

Although free throws and jump shots may not be the same, in real life no one would miss 100 free throws in a row or more even if they never played basketball in their life.

I'm just saying, don't like the free throw percentage? Train free throw then.

Hey there, I know the discussion is stuck on several points now, but here are the observations I can make with my team:


Name % Skill
A 0,805 12
B 0,806 11
C 0,794 10
D 0,778 7
E 0,688 7
F 0,629 5
G 0,764 5
H 0,571 4

I only chose players that made more than 20 FT in this season, and there was no FT training this season either. we can see that the percentages and skills are correlating, although not perfectly (but that would make things boring anyway...)

But the main point I want to state is that player H has a decent percentage with skill level 4, which is quickly achieved.

So: Come on people bitching about "unrealistic" FT-percentages! You can solve this problem quickly by training FT, probably for just one week or two to have your often cited 30% mark!!

Why should I train FT if I have a team of decent FT shooters and only one weak link (thats the case for most teams dragging a trainee with them)? Increasing the FT skill by 4 or 5 levels will take me 6-10 weeks and result in only a couple of points scored...


Just make sure the bad shooter doesn't get fouled, then. Or don't buy/train players who don't have decent free throw skill. Or take the hit and train FTs. Really, you're dealing with a problem with a myriad of solutions - just because they're ones you don't prefer doesn't mean that they're not perfectly adequate for the game as a whole.

You might as well ask the city manager or whatever the title would be to build you a new road to your destination because the existing one goes by a building you don't like.

City manager - that was a good one :)

You are right, all roads lead to rome - why even bother thinking about some alternatives...

i think all those 3pt shooter have practice FT somewhere, sometime during the season

i think all professional players have practice FT therefore they are not hitting 0.000%

and its good for the game to not award those who never practice

I'm still waiting for somebody beside me to run some stats. Except for those who don't care for any realism here at all, I think some hard data is in order to really see if the results of some skill combinations are rational.

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!
