Swanwik and Sadler have the hidden skill "foul" very high, they are making a lot of fouls in every match, the other 2 players are ok, today maybe they had a "wrong" day. About the first 2 players I think they are really strong but you cannot do anything to reduce the fouls, if my opinion is correct of course

There is an hidden skill. Some players that have this skill high will make more fouls than the others. Is not so difficult to find them because they have an average fouls per match higher than normal players.

Never read about this. Does anyone share this opinion? Any more evidence?

It would make sense, mind you!

Unless there is an official statement on this, it looks like a perfect candidate for the 'urban legend' category.

It is never confirmed, but I do think there is something we don't know (yet) which influences the amount of personal fouls made by the player in a match.

This player for example (2296345) averages 0,4 PF's per game with average ID and awful SB while my strong-strong center averages 2,2 PF's per game.

So there has to be something which influences this, but who knows what? ;)

Stamina on both players? Do fouls come in the end of long stretches of playing time? What sort of offensive players are both of them playing again? Is one of them playing mostly C while the other mostly PF? Etc, etc, etc.

There are a ton of things we don't know yet, that's for sure. But I am not sold on hidden stats before all other options are exhausted. Have in mind you're looking at an extremely small sample size too.

Urban legend is pretty much right.

Stamina of the 0,4 player is mediocre, the other got average stam. Both Centers, backup got the 0,4, but played 48 minutes in Scrimmages and Cup Games. Those included would give him 0,75 fouls per game. Still 1,5 less.

I didn't say that there really is a hidden stat, but maybe there is something like 'personality' or something. There should be something more which influences the fouls imo, apart from the player stastistics (same with shooting-%)

I also like to think that also by having low defense skills makes the player just too lazy to do any guarding thus making less fouls while higher defensive player will try everything to guard a person thus increasing fouls.....


Just another excuse!
