I've been noticing quite a lot of missed last free throws that have been rebounded by... the player shooting the free throw! Now I know it's possible to see this happen, but realistically, should this happen more than once every 30 games or more? I've seen this in about 4 or 5 times in just 5 playoff games this season. Maybe there's an algorithm that should be checked, unless others disagree with my assessment, or think I've just hit a odd streak of these rebounds in my games. Has anyone else noticed more of these sorts of rebounds than they'd expect?

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

Yeah i agree with this actually. It does happen in real life but it's very, very rare and seems to happen quite a bit in BB games. Very annoying when it does happen too.

BB is not too realistic... for example it's extremely rare to see a 2PT+FT...

Are the lanes rectangular like in the NBA, or are they trapezoidal like in FIBA? This would have an impact on the rate of offensive rebounds off free throws. I've been assuming it's rectangular, which is what we see when we watch these games live. But maybe we could get this confirmed from an Admin?

Only a BB (or maybe Juice) *knows* the answer, but in general, BB uses NBA rules. So presumably FT rebounding rates are modeled off of NBA rates. I would guess that the shape of the lane is not directly modeled at all.

BB is not too realistic


Except in reality, where it's the most realistic basketball game engine in the world amonsgt manager games.
