I wonder if playing zone defense rather than 1 on 1 helps alleviate the foul situation. I also have a player who averages 5 fouls in 33 minutes, but he is my HOF draftee so I definitely won't sell him, but getting thirty something training minutes every week hurts a lot.

I don't have proper numbers to back it up, but some time ago I noticed that my players tend to foul out while playing zone defense. That's why I never play zone defense anymore unless it's a game that won't affect my player's training minutes. I think it's somewhat related to the increase in help defense when playing zone (I remember reading this a very long time ago, that said I'm not sure how accurate it was).

Thanks. My player fouls out every game playing man to man. If like you said that playing zone defense may make it worse, I don't know what to do anymore :(

Following up, tried sit them and only had a -6 F, -8 FT, 0 foul outs performance in a double digit win. Huge success based on how this season has been going.

I don't have numbers neither but I always had the feeling that zone defenses (3-2 at least) lower the risk of a given player fouling out : it's supposed to slow the flow of the game a little bit (less possessions = less foul opportunities) and you(re not supposed to have your trainee defending on a big player all game long.


I play zone def quite often, it is optimal when the def values of the defenders are the same, if there is one weaker he is attracting the offense, making more fouls.
So if your aggressive player is the weakest in a zone he could be fouled out quicker than usual, if he is the strongest the fouls may be focused on another player. If he has the same def level of his mates I do not know, maybe less fouls maybe equal, no reasons for making more.

This is an interesting observation. Maybe this was why I noticed that my trainees were fouling out.

The community we are the ones who keep the game up.

Supporter pack is an example...

I hope that in the news of the new season they put something about it...
