^ As you'll notice in that statement, as far as gameplay occurrences having an influence on following events, only the score of the game is expressly stated. In other words, you can assume every possession is calculated using the same algorithm with just one variable factor throughout the game (other than recurring randomness factors, applied the same way to every possession). A turnover isn't going to make the player more careful on the next possession.

Of course some studies point to other variable factors like "energy" decreasing with minutes played.

But the point is, your center having the game of his life is not necessarily going to make the opposing center defer to his teammates more than what their relative skillsets initially dictate. In addition, you shouldn't just assume that an increase to the shot-blocking player attribute in the game engine will translate in more blocked shots on the stats sheet, and therefore your approach of judging the extent of GE modifications on the number of blocks in the box score is pretty shortsighted.

edit: It also states the history of the quality of shots the team has seen recently as another variable "amongst other things", so I guess there's that too.

SB not only just blocks shots. It alters some making them less likely to go in. It also contributes to the inside defense rating that is used to calculate the game.

In adition a player with low SB tend to foul more and now with the GE's change the chances are increased .

Well, not all the SB attempt occur inside the paint, you know Wolph?.

By the way,SB it's the cheaper Inside Skill.

Really? And did a bb tell you this??????
How does that rating work exactly then...are you saying that every point of SB each plyaer has lower's the probability of shots going in? Is this the same as ID then? or less? In this case if SB does exactly what ID does...then it is just a 2nd ID stat.
I don't agree wtih your statement.

Yes, BB says that.
If you remember some weeks ago when i teach you SB altered shots someone link the post where BB says the 4 main effects of SB:
1) Contribution on Inside Defense rating (not at same lvl that ID perse)
2)Block Shots*
3)Alter Shots*
4)Elastic effect (training)

*Inside and outside shots

PD: Wolph; serously, you have to work on your memory. Is recommended to eat raisins to help improve memory.

It's used by GE in the calculation. It's a fact. period, nothing that you could say will change that fact.
Why? Because it's a BB STATEMENT. It's that simple.
SB it's not useless. Never was.
