Well actially they probably will. There are two weeks per season when you only have two games, more if you end up 5th or 8th. Most people train either Fts or stamina in that time. If you got a player when he was 18, kept him for 10 seasons and did one each of stamina and free throws per season you would have done 10 weeks of free throws. Haven't you ever seen older dudes on the transfer list with prominent stamina and free throws? That is how it happens.

I understand that, but what I mean is that in real life, you don't have to wait 10 years to be good at free throws. Any shooting practice in real life is going to improve your free throw percentage as well.

Actually I believe that I read somewhere - not on BB, somewhere in real life, that there had been a recent study of college ball players and it showed that for most players there was actually very little improvement in their FT % over their 4 year college career.

Ah okay. Just wierd to see bb players shooting 1-8 free throws. Even I can make more than 1-8.

Yes I agree that the base level is probably a bit low, I have a guy who was - check this 0 from 58 last season for free throws. Even an untalented year 7 can do better than that.

Train FT if you want your players better on that. It would not make any sense to train FT itself if it would be fixed by other training. If you like to connect it with JS or JR, then I say would be better to slow these down even more.

All I'm saying is to improve FT just a tiny bit with other shooting related training. Like yodabig said above, 0 from 58 free throws is ridiculous. That is very unrealistic. No player in the NBA (or any basketball league) would shoot that bad. Either incorporate it so that it trains faster, or make it so that no player can have less than inept free throw skill.

Your point makes a sense. But obviousely managers currently dont use FT training at all, so what would motivate them to do that after this change? If there would be market overloaded by trainees which are marvelous at FT, would make sense to connect that training with even something else, so FT training itself would not be so profitable, but under different conditions it seems not right to me.
