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.

I'm sure many share that opinion - in which case, they also shouldn't really care about having terrible FT shooters on their team. Still doesn't indicate to me any need to change the training system or give even a small boost to FT from training something like Jump Shot or Outside Shooting.
