Id rather avoid getting into a situation, where the opponent fouls a lot and I have to hit the FT's ;).

Thats probably why I havent trained FT in over 3 seasons and counting.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when youre sittin at the table. Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

Well. i think there is not many people who watching at players FT skill when trying to buy him. And most of managers not even try to train it. It automatically becomes not useful in the people eyes.



Disagree. When I buy players I do look at FT, especially since I dont want to train it. When you have had a couple close games that you lost, and you see that your team went 9-22 from the line, and your opponent went 15-22, you may think long and hard about the 6 point difference that cost you the game. In close games FT matters, imo

Most managers don't win their league, either -- about 1 of every 16 does

Useless or useful, but I not gonna sacrifice my training.

Co-signed. Aged players should train it as well as young so why bother in advance. if you´ll find out you really need it, you can train it then.

One example. Players with atrocious stamina tend to miss free throws later on in games. I think...

It doesn´t seem so. I checked this on purpose with my players, it still only one team but i didn´t notice anything like this.

I have noticed this, and so have some other forum posters, but the evidence at this point is mostly anecdotal.

However, given that stamina loss affects overall performance, it would only make sense that it would affect free throw shooting as a part of it as well.

I would disagree. importance of free throws is more position/role-wise sensitive. i think it is crucial to have it higher than awful but hey that icould be said about any skill. I look at free throws before stamina for sure.

Nobody considered experience a a skill? :)

I think you guys seriously underestimates handling.

Stamina, shotblocking and jump range (speed of that training taken into consideration) are what I would consider. But there will be changes in next two seasons maybe something will change a bit. I have no problems with those sevral low stamina players from my team and I play fast tactics exlusively.

I don't think experience should be considered, because experience isn't trainable :) We can't stop it from improving :D

May it be that low stamina increases injury chances when playing more minutes? It would be logically correct.

Then it can be that all good teams just have good doctors, and therefore the above effect is neutralized, but still costs you money. Thus, the alternative is either - mediocre doctor, high stamina and more money, or - good doctor, default stamina and less money.

Thus, stamina is not the most useless skill, as it clearly has a budget implication.

Well, just speculating ... No evidence.

I doubt it -- it would have been mentioned in the rules. But then again, it's not impossible, I guess.
