I'm not saying to stop the FT practice. I'm saying to train it as a secondary when you train JS and JR.



I'd be for this IF your FT then goes down any week you don't train JS/JR/FT.

Which therefore makes it a pain

It makes no sense that your FT would go down in any week that you don't train JS, etc. However, it does seem to make sense to link FT training as a secondary boost when training JS, and as such, that skill should decline when JS declines.

So you could go 2 years without ever practicing a FT and still be just as good or better than 2 years ago?
Must be nice to be you.

"Makes no sense"
It makes sense. It's just not ideal.

My point with my comment besides stating the obvious, was there has to be a balance.

Can't you say the same for all skills? You could also go 2 years without ever practicing handling or jump shot or any other skill and as long as the player isn't too old in this game, the skill is pretty much just as good.

agreed. for the most part.

handling/driving position dependent on if its something they do frequently, same with Defenses/SB.

we all know the training system isn't perfect in BB. But, why try to make it work for FT, but not for all the other skills as well.

Semantics:
mos of the trainings train more than 1 skill... PLUS there's a 10% cross training to random skills too...


Semantics.

So, let me ask you this. I practice my inside shooting. Post moves, hook shots, catching alley-oops, layup drills.

How does that make me a better free throw shooter? even in IRL how does that make me a better free throw shooter?

Jump Shot, Jump Range, yeah I can see your point. Driving, Inside shooting.. how's that make free throw shooting better?
