so in your opinion scoring 0 on 48 attempse FT is ok?
When a player has no skill in shooting free throws -- yes, it's quite ok. You're welcome to train free throws to rectify the situation.
Really? You really honestly believe that?
If there's a game mechanic reason for having players shoot zero percent on FTs (as an incentive to make sure FTs are trained), then I'd buy that. Otherwise, it's a glaring weakness in the simulation of a basketball game. I'm with many of the others in this thread... a floor of 30% probability is reasonable, 0% is ridiculous.
Atrocious free throw shooting is the game equivalent to someone who has never in his life practiced free throwing. It is quite acceptable to me that such a person might miss 50 free throws in a season.
indeed.
if it wheren't this way, there would absolutely be no reason to show FT skill seperatly...
Every seperate skill has it's level, and those skills are used in calculations when something happens. As shooting FTs is something on it's own, I don't think any of the other skills need to go in that calculation (except form and maybe stamina versus the time played recently). One does not jump while shooting a FT, so why would JS skill be involved??
On the other hand, the FT skill MIGHT be used when calculating if a shot goes in or not, since not every shot is a jumper. If a player gets open, and shoots with no defender in his face, then I would find it logic that the FT skill could be part of the formula, along with JR to adjust to the distance the player is from the ring.
In my personal opinion, JSskill can not influence a FT. FT skill on the other hand, could influence the field goal percentage...
so why does a player get 0.4 from the field and 0 from the line? because he has decent JS, and refuses to jump from the line, while he jumps every time from the field, or dunks it, or lays it in ... ;)
Forget about realism guys, I know little about basketball, yet I won the cup two times in a row now, and played the POs in my leagues since when I started playing.
If it where about realism, I wouldn't be able to do this with my knowledge on basketball.
and now I will likely get a torrent of reactions over my head. ;)
They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
