From what you say it seems like every player will attempt to block, which I observe to not be the case, and neither am I alone in this. How do you explain very high SB players picking up more shooting fouls than their lower SB counterparts?
SB1 or 2 has almost no impact, but it doesn't mean, the player is not trying to block.
If you have ID20 and SB2, your defender will take away a hige amount of the FG%, let's say from 70% to 40%. SB2 is just so low, it will alter the shot on a minimum level. Maybe it drops by 0.5% FG%. But the atzempt is still there. You will have most of the time "shot altered, but goes in" as a result. If it is a bad shot block attempt, you will get a shooting foul.
It also depends on the level you play. In Div. 3 a ID13/SB13 guy could be the best solution. Give him more defense and the engine will search for other missmatches. Go with someone who has lower SB and he will foul more. The reason is, he is good enough to defend, but one step too late for the block.
Do you have numbers? Skills, amount of defended shots, amount of shooting fouls? Data that shows, that high SB foul more than low SB players?
Something like that (It is in german, but I think you get the main info)
Skills: JS 5 – JR 6 – OD 15 – HA 10 – DR 8 – PA 4 – IS 5 – ID 12 – RB 6 – SB 12
Haek lief in 25 Spielen auf und war immer mein Starter. Er spielte 871 Minuten und steigerte sich deutlich im Vergleich zur Vorsaison.
215 Defenseaktionen (im Schnitt 9,8 pro Spiel)
160 davon erfolgreich (74,4%)
66 Blocks (30,7%)
11 shooting fouls (5,1%)
Dazu holte er sich noch 37 Steals.
I made detailed analysis with skills and actions. The rate of shooting fouls dropped to 0% at some point. The better he got, his amount of defended shots dropped.
So, show me your numbers, which validate your points.
