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.
