I've just checked my roster - no players with legendary JS and 1-3 FT ;). That was just an example. I have no trouble with adopting to the rules - well to some extend as I am still looking for a B3 victory;)..

Well realism has nothing to do with it.


but BB is advertised as "BuzzerBeater, the world's largest free online basketball manager game.", so I believe that the closer "the rules that are within BB" are to the real game, the better it is for us- players and as it is better for us it is better for the game itself.

When I read the forums i feel that many of us think of GE as a simulator where real game happens and that our players dribble, pass and take shots, make their decisions on passing or taking shots and so on. Some don't - they think of it as a script, algorithm, where you put some data and it gives you the random result based on probabilities.

Nevertheless my post is rather to the topic "Top priority..." "what is to be improved" or so...

Happy New Year!

I just found one with JS 20- FT 1 on TL (S. Golovin). 61% FG, 27% FT... Well, he's the one of least balanced players in BB, but...

The "realism" problem here has nothing to do with the rules of BB or the game engine, however. It has to do with the fact that many of the people who play BB do not train realistically. FT is perhaps the most often and consistently practiced skill of the vast majority of professional basketball players. In BB people intentionally avoid training FT as much as they can because they don't feel it is worth it as compared to getting another week of some other training for perhaps just two players.

I've seen this proposed before by others, but if people want "realism" to fix the number of players with low FT skill/percentage, how about simply requiring everyone to train FT once or twice a season. That would pretty much take care of this false complaint that there is something wrong with the game because of how the people playing it are choosing to behave in very unrealistic fashion.

You can justify the issue as much as you want - for the sake of realism it would be the easiest solution to connect JS and FT skills to produce realistic stats.

As it is now its poor game design nothing more nothing less. A team that improves his FT shooting every season (if you train FT once or twice) is just as unrealistic.

We have an easy fix suggested, yet nothing happens. Thats really stubborn and hurts the game. Same for new teams that get gangbanged by established teams, but thats another topic.

Holla!

The easiest solution would be to remember that this is a game and that if a player's performance in a specific area is not to your satisfaction, there's this training feature that occurs weekly where you can improve their performance. Have a player with a thousand career turnovers and zero assists? Train passing. Have a player with zero career steals? Train pressure. Have a player who can't hit FTs? Train Free Throws.

Cross training helps eliminate the 0,00% FT guys, incidentally, though of course the example always used has been on a bot team since before CT was implemented and therefore will always be an absolute zero at FT.

Wow, wasting a full season to fix one players shortcoming looks so exciting, now that I heard the "its a game, fix it yourself"-explanation the 357th-time.

Thank you so much!

Think how everyone else feels hearing the same complaint 357 times.

Any time! Maybe someday if you bring this up enough it'll happen, and then you'll only have 9 skills remaining to request to be improved for you without having to train them, and then the game will be the most realistic simulation of basketball ever!

Well, not everyone else. For example, I don't think the BB's have heard any complaints about training 357 times ... or 35.7 times ... or even 3.57 times. If they had, some of the simple fixes would be in evidence.
