Maybe players grabbing defensive rebounds after block shots is a good piece of evidence to how perfect the Game Engine is........

I thought Driving was used for a player to create his own shots. That means the player dribbles towards the basket (so Handling is necessary, too), but the shot will not always end up being a dunk or layup, it can also be a shot from the perimeter, elbow or wherever the GE determines the high percentage shot is, depending on the skills of the players and the tactic.

You are right.

This happens in real life, too. The blocked shot doesn't quite make it to the rim and the blocking player grabs it as an example. This is technically a block and defensive rebound. I know this isn't how it is calculated in the engine, but it's not out of the ordinary. The engine does not take any consideration to spacing on the floor.

I have found some success with DR and little IS. It works okay against guards because they don't generally have enough ID or BL to defend even the minimal IS.

Driving should cause a player looking for more shot attempt. Whether is inside or outside, it depends on the weight of IS or JR. However, the quality of shots are coming from how good is his handling skill. As the defensive intensity increases to that player, that's when his handling skill is tested against the pressures. Just IMHO.

It was revealed in an ancient forum day and confirmed by one of the player geniuses (josefka or moutlinho) that there is a special type of shot in BB called a driving layup that doesn't need inside shot at all to succeed and is generated by high driving skill.

Yeah, back in the days when they were still active.

I had a guard with high driving and high IS and he dunked much more than other guards... however I dont know if this was just a presentational difference...

I have a guard with prodigious driving and atrocious IS. He scores ok I guess.

Mind you most of those are JS at the freethrow line, but he also layups.

Will a guy with very good driving and low JS or IS try more shots than you would like him too?
