Well.

In real basketball, players aren't born 85% FT shooters.. they practice them every day. If you don't, you're no good at them.

this is true. Drazen Petrovic (if you know who he is), despite being one of the best shooting guard ever he was practicing the free throws every day. stayed after practice and kicked about 200 free throws.

I think the issue OP adresses is the fact that we have hundreds of players in this game that shoot ~50% from the field, ~45% from behind the arc and 15% from the charity stripe. I had one of those players and find it "too" unrealistic to be ignored.

If we consider this to be okay (sharpshhoters that cant hit a FT), there should at least be the possibility to dress some henchmen that foul such a player on every shot attempt.

The only reason we have such players in the game is because managers behave in an unrealistic way and don't train free throws. In my opinion, the flaw is not with the game but with the decision such managers are making. If managers are going to behave in such a way, they can't really complain about having a player who shoots 50% from the floor, 45% from behind the arc but only 15% from the line. That's the choice they made in how they trained the player.

I think that you should occaisionally get pops in FT when you train JS. And maybe even vice versa.

Check the Suggestions they are important

Sorry to burst your bubble guys but this is too good of an idea for it to actually be implemented

FT is not trained much because you would probably need a whole season to change a 10%-guy into a 70% shooter, that would probably be a difference of 20 points scored more - if you invest the same amount of time in another area you will get much better results and output.

I understand what you mean, but what you aren't taking in to account here is that Free Throw trains the entire team. So you could be turning 10 players with 20% free throw in to 80% free throw, and that would be a massive difference.

That could be the case, but I think not many managers (except me maybe) buy a whole team of FT-inept guys :D

haha, I'm just saying that training Free throw for the purpose of 1 guy isn't smart, but if you have a bunch of bad free throwers then it could be a huge difference in training it :P

Anyway this has very little to do with the original suggestion lol.

i think this change wouldn't need a half season 20%, is most likely a low 2 in this skill a medicore free throw shooter your target would be something betwen 5 and 6 which are 6-8 trainings. And is it not just one player who scores you twenty points more. I think free throw training especially in the low area is extremly valuable, and i look for free throws when i buy player and i train it from time to time.

maybe you would gain 1-2 points more each game with Jumpshots, but when i train free thows i don't had to watch minutes(which could be worth a win this week) or i could rescue a week where my minutes are destroyed. I don't have to pay extra salarys for it.

And yes the players looks weird, and it would make sense out of a realistic view that it get trained with the JS training, but i wouldn't like the change in the training system.
