My best 3P shooter has 55.2% in 3FG%. Second best 38.5%. And then i have been mixing up offenses a lot.


One of my best jump shooters is still well under 50% on assisted (non-contested) jumpers in the time I've had him. Last season my two highest-percentage three point shooters (excluding the guy who went 1-1) shot worse on assisted threes than on contested ones (and these were not the big men, who that makes sense for). The game is just funky like that - it's one of the quirks that I'd like to see fixed but it's not exactly the end of the world.

A lack of high APG numbers is a side effect of the Passing skill being so gosh darn expensive for Point Guards, and free up to a certain point for every other position. This results in a higher percentage of assists coming from players other than the PG, which in turn makes it difficult for any PG to maintain a high APG. Outside defence also plays a role, as high OD players are a dime a dozen at the higher levels, whilst the same certainly cannot be said about high PA players...

Tweaking the formula so that Passing is cheaper for PG's may help...

An important thing to explain why the APG is lower than NBA is the fact that the PPG per team is also lower.

In NBA, all is made for high scoring game and players. Carmelo Anthony is a star. Referees do not whistle travels. While in BB, any thread about how you should train him or him, people will say "don't forget to train the defense". On a very quick glance, it seems there is slightly more possessions per game in NBA than in BB also.

In the end, less scoring, less shot, hence less assist.


Indeed. We notice like less mid/long range shots, and assists numbers only comes occasionally.
Also, like NBA, BB deserve star players too.

1. Tweak training so that JS/JR will be more attractive than OD.
2. Grant "star treatment" to each players that have NT/JNT flag on their player card.
3. More pick and roll scheme. Smart ball creator and his "mailman" shall deserve this.

Can't agree more with you. With more nifty passers in a team, ballflow is better and assist numbers would be spreading randomly. Could be one of the reason why my HOF PG i groomed looks average in APG, because i have 3 more players with Passing at least 11.

I can be sure if you lay outside isolation in bb you could get 10+asists average in highest league.


Outside Isolation: Your team finds their best outside scorer. Normal Pace.
I assume this tactic worked best for player with best ballhandling and scoring ability (either painted area or downtown), with passing as his second best ability.

I would think that driving would be likely be almost as important as JS/JR, if not more so.

You're right. I missed driving.
