i beg to differ. can a bb or gm pls comment on this?

the fg% is for all the shots made right? If a player "drives" the ball towards the basket and he is a Center or PF isnt than the driving skill the most important skill whether he scores or not? Or can it never happen that an inside guy "drives" the ball towards the basket??

My take on this is that it maybe correct BUT the versatility of his player is going to limit his offensive options to Look Inside and Low Post only.

If the players in question are only highly skilled in the ID/IS/RB area (and lacking HD/DR/JS) there is no way they can make the transition to SF and even at PF are likely to be caught short against a more astute tactical opponent.

In minor leagues/countries for sure the ubermonsters will run riot on any bot/weak human in most positions..

My experience is that driving has a negligible effect for big men (which makes sense, since if you're already under the basket, there's no space to drive).

thought that the driving skill shows how good a player can create his own shot and that you can need on all floor spots??

I guess that big men just teleport themselves from under one basket to under the other and back than. Never giving teammates a chance to pass them a ball somewhereelse than under the basket. Right? LOL. If big men can shoot treys (they do) they can surely drive. Waht is the exact formula in game engine for this is arguable but drives of bog men exist.

# Driving: Allows the player to create his own shot without a good pass from a teammate. Better driving creates shots more often and creates better shots on average.

that was from the rules it amaze me every time what you can find there so i think it is safe to say a center with high driving will be way more effective then a center with low one right?

I wondered about this myself just a short while ago, since then i´ve payed close attention to my games and i´ve become so convinced driving matters for Centers i´m training that exact skill this week.

All I am saying is that a C with pitiful driving performs comparably (if not better) to a C with strong driving. That's in my very unscientific observation of what's going on in my own team. Make of it what you will.

I know, i forgot to make the post to everyone:-)

Well, up til now i had just been playing like a zombie regarding my PF/Cs. Although i make sure to have some extra skills i havent really been paying attention to what influences what, i was too busy trying to understand my guards better.

Comparing my own trainees i find it suggest that driving matters. The ones with higher levels of driving have higher percentages. Some of the difference i think might be in some players playing weaker opposition as one player contradicts the theory, which of course might cast some doubts on the case.

But still, i feel its worth giving my trainees some driving.
