Did you see the other post?

S39 unguarded turnaround jumpers 0/77, fade aways 0/100 and hooks 0/85: all 0% success rate.
Guarded turnaround 78/238, fade aways 306/1092 and hooks 80/271.

S38 (on incomplete data) unguarded turnaround 1/62, fade aways 1/55 and hooks 0/56
Guarded turnaround 60/194, fade aways 295/881 and hooks 67/196

So it appears that if you want to score on those shots it MUST be a guarded shot. Interesting and completely bollocks.


The FG% for Jump Shots is 37% unguarded and 30.5% guarded. The number for 3 pointers is 28.6% and 23.6% respectively. But of course to add insult to injury Jumpers and 3 pointers are also the most guarded shots (with only 34% and 24% open shots respectively).


Was there any response from BB about the issue? It might just be representational bug or something more serious...

No reply and I'm 99% sure this is not a problem of the viewer.

Well all shots are tested against defense as they should or you get in trouble with way too low percentages in low divisions or way too high in upper divisions.

There are two possibilities. First all shots are calculated equally and only best quality shots are reported as open. Second GE determines if a shot is open or not and then does the calculations. If the first is true then it's most likelly just a representational bug within GE not the wiever while the calculations are still correct. In the second option it does sound like quite a huge bug sadlly.

I've gotten the impresion that GE is more or less a boogie man to the BBs and there's very little chance of fixing such bugs???

I'm not an IT guy: I can code in VB and Python, but that's about it. They should have a test environment to try (and FIX) stuff and my understanding is they never had one. The GE is apparently tens of thousands on lines of code, it takes time to change anything to the point that it may be better to rewrite the GE altogether and of course not having the test environment means you can't troubleshoot. Bugs like the ones mentioned above are not necessarily easy to track down, as they may be due to a variety of reasons.
