there isn't a modifier that keeps the team up from shooting the ball late in the game at present. Perhaps there should be... now of course, that means you are gonna have to take whatever opportunity comes to you late in the shot clock.

on a basketball philosophy point of view, I think there are many situations in which a team stalls inappropriately, for instance up 4 with ~1:30 to go... I think it a terrible time to not try to score until the end of the shot clock.. because when you do that you get a significantly worse look at the basket and the opposing team will gladly give you 24 seconds for a possession at that point.

I think its a pretty tricky set of guidelines as to when its appropriate to hold for the last shot. End of quarters is certaintly one (and I should implement this) but other times its much more complicated.

Well!

I do not know much about Webber, but he obviously was a really talent player who had serious problems in his civil life? Tell me the details?

I actually know much more about Wilt Chamberlain and Larry Bird, because they where my NBA idols when I was a small kid.

From Wiki:

On April 5, 1993, at Michigan's second consecutive NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship game, Webber infamously called a time-out with 11 seconds left in the game when his team, down 73-71, did not have any remaining, resulting in a technical foul that effectively clinched the game for North Carolina.

Right!

Mistakes really seems to happen in real life too.

Thank's for the update, maybe next time I stay cool when something similar happens to my team with this Buzzer-game. Hopefully not too often :)

I dealt with The Ricky Davis Experience here in Boston.

Ricky Davis is a great player. When you can get him to play the way he should, that is. The problem is you never could. Very frustrating to watch.

Thank You for considering some enhancements for this kind of a problem.
It will certainly add more reality to the game.

I have the ball, 8 points ahead, 1:03 time remaining the game. No faults. Tactics is patience!

Then my SG tries a 3-pointer when still 17 secs on a clock?

Should I fire this guy immediately or is it a bug with this software engine?

There are actually NO players over 14 years in Finland at least, who shoot behind 3-point line at that situation (17 secs still).

Is this a bug?


I shouldn't start talking about this again, but... just now, in the NBA playoffs, with the Hornets leading the Mavericks by 12 with 1:15 left, Peja Stojakovic of the Hornets took a three-pointer with what looked like 16 seconds on the clock. (He made it.)

Ha, me too.

Weird coincidence, since I've watched about an hour total of the NBA this year. :)

There is often no problem with taking a good shot early in the clock. The Celtics did it all the time this season. You're not going to make it all the time, but what's the use of working off 20 seconds of clock and getting a worse look.

And an open 3-pointer by Peja is as good as you can get. Now, a 15-footer by Ben Wallace is a different story...
