Perhaps worse GS might add to the problem but even if he was at a worse GS, it's still mostly about luck.



So do you agree the changes made turned FT into a random skill and the numbers currently shown are more cosmetic than anything else?

but my point is: if a player has 30 (thirty) as an attribute for a skill (when 20 is supposed to be already extremely high), and when this skill is free throw, this player should be Curry and Nash combined regardless of anything else. This dude should make at least around 0.900 consistently, having a player like this shooting 0,727 is a joke, which means that having 30 FT means absolutely nothing, FT is absolutely worthless now.

That don't make sense either. He's a legendary shooter but can't make a FT for his life?



Does it make sense that a player is a legendary (30) free throw shooter but he only makes 70% of his free throws?

Or you should apply the same logic and having very high free throw skills should mean a higher FG percentage.

BTW, I dunno how it is now but players with FT1 used to shoot 0% of their free throws regardless of their JS. That was bizarre. One way to fix this was to code FT in a way that FT1 players would make 40%, not 0% of their shots. No need to mix JS in the equation.

BTW2: it is possible for a player have high FG% but low FT%. Take Ben Simmons for example. What is weird is having a guy who was supposed to shoot FTs like Stephen Curry but converts them like Blake Griffin.

I have a player whose FT is 6, JS is 12 and JR is 3 and he shoots 0.800, what is the logic? Tell me more about this big picture cause I really can't see it.

Ben Simmons has a Jump Range rating of 1. He doesn't shot 3 points and barely mid range.

Blake Griffin shot more and more 3pts and was somewhat serviceable, at least enough to stretch the defense. And he was a 70% career FT shooter. Far better than Simmons.


Yes, but Griffin's FT would be something like 7-8, not 30, and we have players who have 30FT and shoot FTs like FT7-8 players even if their JS and JR are far from low.

My point is that in BB there are players who were supposed to shoot FTs like Steve Nash which are shooting like Blake Griffin and that is completely nonsense.

My point is that in BB it doesn't matter if your player has FT 7 or FT 30, it is a matter of luck how they are going to perform at the free throw line, which makes FT completely random.
