For what it is worth my player with 32 FT is shooting 95.7% from the line this season.

JS: 17
JR: 8
IS: 11
FT: 32


That seems pretty much how it should be.

Real-life teams do cardio and train for stamina all the time, whereas managers in BB constantly don't want to. It's vital to game mechanics because it should be. The reason you may not notice who has the best stamina in the NBA is likely because in BB terms all of the NBA players (starters especially) have stamina that is 7+.

The NBA is like B3. You don't notice stamina differences across players and teams because all of the guys for the most part have 7, 8, or 9 STM. On the other hand in college basketball (or D.II and D.III leagues for BB), you notice a much bigger difference when watching teams that are well conditioned and teams that are not.

Removing stamina for BB would be detrimental to realism, not fix it, in my opinion. It's realistic that if managers never train stamina, their players won't have high stamina and will perform worse when playing more minutes.


I guess no one is really saying stamina should be eliminated from BB, the problem is if stamina should affect FT (or if JS/JR should too and to which extent). My opinion is that the influence of other skills in FT has become so important that the FT skill itself has turned in to something somewhat cosmetic and borderline irrelevant.

First game of the season for my second team, they shot 5 - 26 from the FT line. Here are their FT skills and what they did:

4: 2 - 8
5: 1 - 8
6: 0 - 2
10: 1 - 4
14: 1 - 2
8: 0 - 2

They aren't great FT shooters. I guess lack of experience and the game being close make them miss more than they usually do. Here is my assumption: in close games, experience is much more important. That being said, it explains why my players did so badly but it most probably doesn't explain why you guy did so poorly.

It's kinda hard to make assumptions based on so scarce data, but bottom line low FT players should perform poorly like yours did and extremely high FT players shouldn't put average numbers.

That said, I agree that experience should have a somewhat decent influence on FT performance.

P.S.: by the way, since the performance of a player of mine which has FT 4 has been just a little below the performance of my 30 FT player, I guess it's time to stop waisting my team's hard earned money on that gym or whatever it is called.
