This made me chuckle, quite terrible luck! I have only drafted one really prolific fouler; (13410682) If you check Seasons 12 & 13 you'll see he averaged 5.3 fouls per game both seasons! I remember he had atrocious ID as a bigman but still, that's ridiculous!

I haven't any of the bad luck you are having with trainees, in fact my best trainee has 1 foul in 115 minutes this season (and 25 in a scrimmage). So I can't speak with experience with getting an agressive trainee. However you guys will get to the line more often and that can have an advantage (mine has taken 2 FT in the season without the cup).

Well the atrocious D is probably why. My guys are at least competent in defense. Hell, Motley was actually at prominent at the D4 level, which is slightly above average.

They just pick up asinine fouls all the time. I've seen times where my guy hasn't been challenged and stays out of foul trouble then picks up two off ball fouls in a row then goes to the bench.

I've had a C come in from foul trouble on a free throw dead ball, foul on the rebound and go back to the bench.

The problem I have with the horrid foul system is that the fouls aren't reactive at all...it's not because you are being challenged frequently to MAKE you get in foul trouble but, the game basically reads the aggression stat and literally tries to create fouls, no matter how nonsensical and inappropriate they are...and it happens to me...Every.Single.Time I get a new player.

And lastly, there is literally zero logic in terms of playing with fouls. They don't try to avoid them, no matter how important they are to the team nor how simple it would be to do so, so I have to see things like players picking up their third foul on a 3 point heave by a center as the shot clock expires. Garbage.

Did you see the Pitt- Butler game this year?

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

I expect some response about how there's nothing to do and how I should just sell the players...yes I know...I've done it now for the last 3 seasons. It gets really...really old.


Its your fault anyway, you could have drafted someone else.

Not really. This game doesn't allow you to select your players. You put them on a giant list and see what happens.
