We agree on that. It is a simulation like anything and its a free game that doesn't require daily observation to play. And i do appreciate it. But the start of this topic wasn't by me but someone else. And i was just weighing in with opinion. And that opinion being that like any simulation (Xbox, Playstation, computer, etc.) the developer do try to make things as realistic as possible. Meaning they ask people knowledgable (GMs, current and former players, Coaches, etc.). And the ultimate goal is to create a fun flowing game but part of the fun is that there is some realism and it leads to discussions like this between people who would never in any other walk of life have a common interest or care to read each others opinions. So for that I thank you for you input and agree that non of what we are talking about effects how either of us play this simulation, nor does or should it affect our daily lives.

I think you are onto something, I mean, if experience mattered a ton, Manu Ginobili wouldn't have missed those free throws and we'd have Tony Parker doing the draft interviews not Shane Battier.

Thanks. its not just shot making though. its overall PER (Player Effiecency Rating). Do you make shots, assists, steals, blocks in situations under 2 mins in close games. Or do you turn the ball over, miss shots/FTs, take "bad shots", etc. by the numbers most "clutch" guy meaning how often he came through in those situations Robert Horry (no surprise he has 7 or 8 rings) he wasn't the best player in the league by Any means. But every team 1 player away from a title (Spurs, Lakers, Rockets.) signed him!

The Experience is only applicable in the game but not in real life. In real life, according to sir college coach, is a trait that is not trainable.

So, actually, if we summarize the opinions about the clutch, we can say that their is actually a CLUTCH TRAIT, but we dont know if its a different hidden skill or it is already attach to the experience..
