No. There is still point to suggestions

I said if it's not broken why force it? They already do maintenance, when they did the GDP and other things to limit LI dominance, tweaking SB etc. They do the routine maintenance to keep it from breaking.

Now some things do get broken, or just flat out aren't there... And for those we need suggestions. We also need suggestions on different ways to tweak things.

But quite literally for something that's been looked at as fine thousands of times in the past calendar year.... It's good. They got a grip on that one. If you want to interpret what I said as defensive that's on you...

Personally I think that's the biggest problem with the suggestion forums/message boards is the text format etc. People misinterpret or think there are tones that May or may not be there. We could do video things but that would take massive amounts of data and then you would have to have them deleted at a fair rate to save space etc. That has a -% chance of happening too.

Back to your OP...
The jr thought. This I like... Because as is, nobody really trains it that much, so even if it's just a small FT boost... That already makes it more worthwhile and I would be more inclined to throw it in as a training once in a while myself

yey
not sure what your saying in the rest of your post - too many things going on there for a pre-coffee brain to understand, but the thread is about FT so....

yey

back at the numbers - I also looked at the impact of making the FT benefit about 0.2 per 48 mins of Outside Shooting (Just to clarify, Single position Outside Shooting training is what ive been talking about).

If you trained FT once a season for 10 seasons and got 7.5 pops out of it AND you trained OS for SG once a season and got 2.0 pops out of it, thats looking more like 9.5 pops.

Remove the FT training fro the equation. 20 weeks of single posi OS training would result in 4 pops in FT and ... about 8 pops in JR.

Not sure about this. seems a little bit high. Maybe 0.15 would be a nice balance..... maybe even incorporate it into JS as well... but heaps less, like 0.3 or something. Such that there is a bit of a combined benefit from those two stats.

One way to change (without changing how training works) that seems to work is to give JS a tiny impact on the way free throws are shot in game. A 15JS player with 1FT should shoot higher than the <20% now.

The ft shooting % is one aspect of the game that MUST be fixed.
No one professionally shoots 20% from the line. All guards should be at minimum 60% shooters, and the worst forwrds/centers should be no lower than 40%. Its just not realistic to have a great scorer with a great jump shot shooting below 50% from the line.

I think this really needs to be addressed. Atrocious ft shooting should still get you 40%, no one is below that in real life

maybe not in the NBA, but I tell you what, i remember a guy whom i used to play BBall with and far out, heaven help us if he went to the link. Lucky to hit the rim.

dude couldn't shoot the ball from more than 6ft out. ... I blame the fact that he was left handed. :p

hahah. this is so true, i used to hate FT training at practice.

i remember coach gave us some incentive though, he used to always make FT training as if you had to win the game. ie: 1 point down, hit 2 FT's to win.

Needless to say ive had the honor of actually achieving that twice in my long established Bball career.
