The saddest thing is that they the BB's can fix the problem. In this order..#1.More useful tactics which would involve a GE overhaul like in season 9 or 10(i forgot it has been so long). #2..Lose the blank line-up crap. If someone can't duplicate what a blank line up does(most people agree that the subbing pattern can't be duplicated) when a manager sets their own roster...it can only mean one thing...an ingame advantage for the blank line up...some managers thought it was a BB testing tool that got left on...#3..More training control....I like the training but I would love to get to choose where my 10% for the Cross Training goes. I mean come on...if you going to take 10% away at least let me choose where it goes. #5....Fix the attendance model...it is broken for sure. having a 10-1 team lose 40% of there attendance just because they lost the last game...that would never happen...

I will end it on this note....
Everything needs a tune up once in a while. The GE is no different. Bugs in the GE are everywhere. The thing is slowly getting out of wack....I will give you an example from my U-21 game tonight that could of cost me a win.

3 9:48 33 — 41 I. Takasugi (H) attempts a baseline jumper, guarded closely by R. Neiva (A). Shot blocked.
3 9:48 33 — 41 The defensive rebound is snapped up by R. Neiva (A).
3 9:32 33 — 41 J. Celeste (A) called for a traveling violation.
3 9:18 33 — 41 I. Takasugi (H) attempts a jump-shot from the wing, guarded closely by R. Neiva (A). Shot missed.
3 9:18 33 — 41 Foul called on R. Neiva (A).
3 9:10 33 — 43 S. Shidehara (H) threads a pass through the defense and finds S. Takara (H). S. Takara (H) goes baseline and stretches out for the dunk. Scored.
3 9:10 33 — 43 S. Shidehara (H) credited with the assist.

OK...Here is a 38 second section of the play by play of tonights U-21 game....as you can see..at 9:18 Takasugi takes a JS while being defended by Neiva and a foul was called on that play(same time on the clock)....but where are the Free throws? This is the 1st time I have seen this and that is why I say...We need a GE tune-up/overhaul....plain and simple...or you will see those #'s dip below 40K for the 1st time since season 8.

No free throws, I had seen it many times, even in the NT game against Japan this season.
I use to play cricket not basketball in real life and thought there may be condition or depend upon a type of foul. Is it a bug ?

In real life, if the foul is called on the shot there are always free throws
Sometimes though referees decide the foul was made before the shooter armed the shot and then you don't get free throws, but as that can happen really fast between the two (1/ guy gets fooled 2/ 0.300s after that he tries to shoot to force a free throw call) then bb could show the two at the same second.

That happens a lot in real life, as when people get fouled in penetration, they tend to throw the ball to the basket as if they were attempting a shot

Since the GE doesn't consider time passing during shots or rebound struggles, it may have been an off-ball foul during rebounding struggles. Actually, there doesn't seem to be another option. I have also seen this type of fouls, sometimes on the defender and sometimes on another defender off the ball. So technicly it's not a bug, just an unrealistic feature of the GE. The shot clock only ticks during possessions, while in real life, it also ticks during the shot itself and rebounding struggles.

One big and main bug that I've seen, and I'm sure everyone have seen, is the one that after the 24 second shot clock expires on a team, the game clock keeps ticking away, sometimes for 10 seconds or more, until a turnover occurs or a foul is called. Now THAT is unrealistic AND buggy.

Thanks for the usefull information friends.

BTW...I gave you a ball for that answer because I thought it was the best.......but the defender was Guarding the shooter closely and if the foul happened on the box out for the rebound, wouldn't some more time have come off the clock?
