Am i the only one bothered by this?

A guy on my roster with 35.3 PPG, is shooting 4-46 FT. Obviously, he has atrocious FT skill

However, I have another guy with sensational FT skill who is shooting 95.5% (are you kidding me? - eat your heart put Ray Ray, and Dirk)

And a guy with mediocre 52%.


I think atrocious FT skill should be at least 30% FT, there is no one in the world that shoots under 10% FT. Or everyone should start with at least mediocre FT skill.

well i get what you are saying. btw, the quy you just showed me made me smile so +1 ball for you:)

But how come my guy with sensational FT shoots so well. I mean 95.5 is like a hall of fame percentage(in reality), that's the issue, it seems quite uneven, or maybe just not seeing it from the right point of view

I agree with you in general (in fact managers unsatisfied by FT percentage should train that instead of complaining), but the case you reported:
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. He is also at atrocious like your guy.

is simply ridiculous.
It's even more ridiculous that he has a 370k$ wage. Even Shaq or... any 5-year-old kid can do better than him.

I assume also that he has a great JS value, and that's a skill that should be strictly related to FT shooting.

Just my opinion.

Actually he doesn't have more than respectable JS but he does have huge passing.

How do you figure? A free throw is a free throw, not a jump shot.

make your conclusion about more free throws, and his percentage would be down. it isn't so unlikely that an 80-85% free throw shooter will hit 21 of 22. And sensational isn't that bad either.

Maybe after three pops in JS you get a secondary pop in FT. This way JS correlates to FT% like it does in real basketball.

Yes, but I've never seen a good jump shooter who's an awful FT shooter
