I think it 's also tactics dependant. If you play LI or LP, It seems to me that the Center are at the end of the chain. And will most of the time take the shot instead of looking for a pass.


I think it's more likely that if it's an inside offense and the center receives the ball with good chances to score, he'll put up the shot. Otherwise, he may then look to pass - and if he has good passing, maybe he can hit the PF or a driving guard, while if he has poor passing he figures he's out of options and jacks up the shot anyhow.

I wonder vs which skill the Center PS is checked. If it is checked vs the other C OD, there could be a better reason to pass tha nchecking your C IS vs the other C ID. If your PS is checked vs the defender ID, it would most of the time be a worst option that taking the shoot IS vs ID..


It's checked vs. the OD. That's why even 7 passing for most centers is quite effective enough already - not too many people are defending these with centers with 7+ OD.

I have two big men with similar skills. The one with 3 passing averages 0.6 assists per game. The one with 7 passing averages 3.5 assists per game. (The better passer tends to play PF, but not exclusively. Also, that should hold him down some since PF's tend to have better OD).

Same here. My big with 1 PA averages about 1 turnover a game. My other one who also happens to have 7 PA averages 2.6 assists. They both play C, which of course spikes the number of assists that the better passer gets.

Just for curiosity, who are your bigs that you are training? Looking at your team now, your two main bigs are 31 and 29 years old respectively.

No thats not it at all. I just find it funny that some managers have a pretty sweet luxury box seat just buy joining up early. Pretty much just doing the same thing every season without any big risks or anything like that and can safely stay in the top division. Not meant against anyone in particular so do not se it as anything directed towards you. May have wrote it a bit wrong so it could be miss interpreted but thats what happens when you write in a language that is not your native language.
So lets put that aside and focus on the actual topic instead shall we =)
I strongly believe in any secondary skill being useful and im currently training bigs with PA. They are at 8 now but im going for 10 in the long run.
I seen lots of games where the C gets a lot of AST with something like you had on your guys in PA. So i figured more cant hurt!(duh!)
Aint got any big or small research to back it up on or anything like that so i wont even try to go and say i actually know anything about it yet.
Moving the ball well is the key to scoring easy points though and if all players can do it you sure should be rewarded well i guess.
My view on the potential/salary part of PA is that since it is a pain to train they at least cut down on the impact it has on potential so it should be worth training it. I somewhat see that same thing with SB even though to many it is the most expensive skill in BB.
Some skills sure are more useful at some positions but i dont think there is a single skill in this game that a player doesnt benefit from having at least above 5-6 in.
But then there is a part where some skills cost and if you got an expensive guy you may need to cut down on some skills for the gain of other. But thats probably way off topic so.

Not sure what has you so upset, he was just asking a question to generate discussion... and it seems you're missing the point of the original post, what I got out of it was exactly the thing you're dismissing. Personally, I agree that I like to have ~8-10 passing if I'm training, and ~6-8 if I'm looking on the TL (the demand seems pretty high and I think their costs seem disproprotionately higher). Passing is a way to increase offensive production and possession without the added salary of an Inside Shot or Rebounding.
