In real life it's not average. At all. In the NBA the number of players with 1 FTA for 3 FGA (at least 12 shots per game) are about 10 (13 to be exact). So yeah, you can take harden's 10 FTA for 20 FGA and compare but you would be taking an outlier. FT rate is lower in the game, sure, but it pales in comparison to the lower FG%: 10% less FTA is nowhere near as bad and unrealistic as 10% lower TS%.
https://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_stats.htm...With a simple calculation you will find that the actual average FTA to FGA in the NBA is 25%.
Also in the B3 average FT% is in the neighborhood of 75% and average FG% is around 43% (47% TS%). In the NBA FT% is 77%, FG% 46% (but because they shoot a lot more 3s TS% is 55-56%). So there you go: 8-9% difference in TS% which in part is due to the lower FT rate, but mostly it is due to people shooting from 2 in DBB with almost the same FG% people shoot from 3 in the NBA.
I real life, a lot of players, especially young ones has far greater fouling rate.
Even if they wanted to increase the fouling rate, they would need to change the training system first.
I feel like FT are way less important in this game, to a point, no one even trains it.
All the top teams train FT, ST and possibly GS despite being less effective (but they don't train this regularly anymore). FT and ST have the highest marginal impact on performance, especially for older players, and they are much easier and faster to add than anything else. The fact that people leave them last when training is just because they do not decrease in training speed with age as much as other skills do.
