I'm pretty sure you will not, atleast in a competitive game. Anybody can hit FT-s in practice. Real game has a different atmosphere.

Are you serious? 1 in 58 is nothing. A monkey could make that. And for me there isn't going to be any pressure because the score of the game isn't going to make a difference. If I stood at the free throw line and kept shooting shot after shot, I would definitely make 1 in the first 10 shots, let alone 58 shots.

My dead great-grandmother can hit more than 2% from the free throw line.

I agree that it's odd for a player with a solid JS should ever be lousy at FT. IS does not necessarily translate into FT (right, Tim Duncan? Shaq?). And FT is not a jump shot. But I don't think it takes a basketball rocket scientist (I think those exist, they mostly live in Houston) to figure out that the best FT shooters at any level tend to be players who can shoot mid-range shots pretty darn well, too. JR isn't a free throw, so I don't necessarily connect JR with FT (though there is probably a pretty good correlation between players who can shoot from behind the arc and players who can shoot from the charity stripe). So while I wouldn't suggest removing FT training (though I would certainly support something this radical), I'd ask how can a player work on his jump shot (which includes shooting mechanics) and not get better (even minimally) at the FT line?

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

Exactly! Do you have a proposed solution in mind?

i find the argumentation reasonable, but i prefer to live with the old system. maybewith an little systrem boost, so that palyer with the lowest free throw skill are able to hit at least 1 of 10 ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2P9qCPkI-4&feature=fv... - i ahad to think on him when it comes to atrocious free throws, and he isn't really big so i expect he had at least a decent mid range jumper when he makes it to the NBA.

What about a simpler solution such as training free throws results in 2 popups gauranteed. So if you have pitiful free throw, after training it for 1 week you will have inept free throw. Then after another week of training free throw you have average free throw.

Just something to make it quicker.

Or combine free throw training and stamian training together, so that you just choose team training and it trains free throws AND stamina for that week.

the overall impürovement in free throws is pretty high, you get from 0% to ~40-50% with two trainings, and it is a good training in my eyes if you had some player with ft below average(and i aslo thing that it often trained).

Making it now faster would hurt the guys who trained it in the past, thats why i always carefully in changing core aspect with no real need.

What about making the minimum free throw level mediocre?

You say there is no real need, but the need is to make the game more realistic. 0 from 58 free throws is unrealistic. A lucky fan would shoot better than that.

because for me the fun counts, if you say the training system is unrealistic on free throw i say you the system is overall unrealistic for training but it is a funny compomnent even if players normally don't improve that fast at this age.

A extrem example of someone who can shoot free throws is Will Foster from Gonzaga university(still not that low level), i believe he started the season with 16 or 18 misses in a row and ends with 2-3 mades ddfree thows out of ~25. As i said maybe raising the efficiency to 10% would be enough for low level, and if you had a bad shooter on your rooster it would be a good choiche to train it it goes pretty fast to reach the 60%. But if ecerybody shoots 70 percent(medicore FT), the training get really mostly killed because you need much longer to raise percentage after this level in a significant way.

Edit: foster first free thwrow this season: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uT1IDBhACE

I'd be happy with atrocious being equal to 10% free throws :)
