whoah! your telling me there is a secret characteristic for every player in bb world?

this is getting interetsing?

even with 3 fouls, i think the game engine adjust doesnt mean totally he would play th the third or what.

sometimes he even inserts them again either for substitution of tired players or he cant bare the fact of getting run off by a big lead.

because even if you insert him again in the third or fouth but your already down with 20 points its going to be harder to catch up and applying more pressure on the defensive end will likely cause more fouls than none at all.

OK, let me rephrase my original question (and this is for everyone, not just Charles):

At what point in time would you consider a player with 3 fouls to have transitioned from being in "foul trouble" to not? (Perhaps it's not implemented as just a switch, but as a continuous factor, though.) In my experience watching BB games, the current transition happens somewhere around mid-third-quarter.

I've been avoiding putting my own opinion on it, although you can probably guess that I think it should be earlier than mid-third-quarter.

Edit: P.S. Thanks for the info on the defensive adjustments when in foul trouble.

But if a player made 2 fouls in Q1, and gets back on the court without making 1 foul in Q2, will the negative effect on D be downgraded/lifted in Q3?

I would assume so, why wouldn't it?

Maybe they didn't program BB that way?? :) But if I read Charles' post better I wouldn't have asked:

Right now when a player is in foul trouble at any point in the game (i.e., 2 fouls in the first minute is also a problem), it makes them weaker defensively, and the effect is increased substantially for their 5th foul.

2 fouls in Q3 isn't foul trouble...

I usually notice it with 4 or 5 fouls. I don't think the point of the game is nearly as important as the total number of fouls. I think this is the point where it really makes a difference.

I wasn't trying to rip on you for asking, it was just a reaction.
