SB will block you from your savings. It is not highly rated, due to its extremely low "sound per pound".

If 5 shots were blocked, which would have gone in otherwise, then you've saved 10 points. I personally think that SB is worth it.

SB is regarded as less important than ID. I would agree with the consensus.

Further, it may not be worth targeted training because training ID will sufficiently train SB.

Then again, one of the few people saying that SB is worth its money and highly underrated, is a BB...

We have both said a lot of things that you are going to regret.

He hasn't trained enough SB on his own players to adequately change my mind, though. Both of his big men have 3 levels higher of ID than SB, so there must be a pretty good reason why he didn't train their SB any higher.

And for all that, he's 0-3 so far this season, if that convinces anyone how awesome SB works for him.

Thats a rather strange way of seeing why a team is 0-3. Or are you rely implying that Having high SB should automatically win you games?

Not implying anything.

Well, other than if anyone should know how SB works, it's the guy who goes to bat for SB when the rest of the community tells him it's crap, and yet his team (aside from being winless as I type this) isn't even close to the league lead in blocked shots (he's 9th in the league).

And don't give me that altered shot excuse. If he wants to prove it works, surely the means are available to him.

Well i dont know but dont you think it would be rather bad if the game developer hugged the 1st spot in NBBA every season and won the cup every season? I guess Charles knows what is worth knowing about this game but still a fair bit of it is based on chance. So i dont think there is a one way ticket to win in this game but seems you think that way. And it would be rather narrow minded to bunch such a though together with his standing on shot blocking.

The skill is there for a reason and since no one has done any study of SB i dont think we can say how well or bad it works. All that has been happening is someone trained it high and didnt see 10 BLK's / game and started shouting that its broken, to expensive and so on. And that went and became the whole community's standing towards SB.
And it is a fact that it is far from that expensive as many say as it is the cheapest skill amongst the 4 Big Man skills. Just that the effect of training it is not as visible as the other skills.

Wait. Someone has done a study: (173617.1) (That's in a private fed, so if you can't read it, try here: (180713.134) and (180713.147), though the link in the fed is the actual study.)

The cheapest skill among the 4 big man skills is driving. A level of SB costs about half of what a level of ID costs; DR is free.
