Hi Hokied, i send a BB-mail to marin a few days later.

I did not receive an answer

This is the bb-mail about the foults:
_____________________________________________________________________

Good BB-marin first of all write to you to thank you for all the new things that you are updating in the game.

I would like to contribute on behalf of the Spanish community to the issue of free throws, we do not understand how players with such a good level of defense make so many fouls and in an unrealistic way.

We wanted to make a post in the BB-global to propose a change in fouls, it does not make any sense that TOP players are sent off practically every game.

It's a bit frustrating to be a top player and see how you can't play a game for 48 minutes.

If we want to make the game more real, the % of fouls that the player makes should depend on skills such as defenses, currently it is not like that.

Examples:

((47886646)) OD: 17 ID: 12 Still training since 18 years and in all the seasons this guy do a lot of faults actually is the best player in his position with the age of 24 (141 STH) in 90% matches do 6 FP

((43934523)) OD: 16 ID: 19 (When my friend spanish manager have this player no play more than 20 minutes each match...)

My question is this:

If we open a post in the BB global forum with a survey, ask if they want a change so that the players doing foults based on some skill is more realistic, would you look to change it?

Thanks for all BB-Marin!

Have a good day!

PS: I use google translate because my english is so poor sorry xD

We need to change this 'hidden skill' that any players do a lot of foults for no reason...


Regards.

For the foreign readers DFL is dead f****** last

I’ve always run let them play, have you tried sit them? I’m trying it for the first time in like 50 seasons on Tue.

I wonder if playing zone defense rather than 1 on 1 helps alleviate the foul situation. I also have a player who averages 5 fouls in 33 minutes, but he is my HOF draftee so I definitely won't sell him, but getting thirty something training minutes every week hurts a lot.

I don't have proper numbers to back it up, but some time ago I noticed that my players tend to foul out while playing zone defense. That's why I never play zone defense anymore unless it's a game that won't affect my player's training minutes. I think it's somewhat related to the increase in help defense when playing zone (I remember reading this a very long time ago, that said I'm not sure how accurate it was).

Thanks. My player fouls out every game playing man to man. If like you said that playing zone defense may make it worse, I don't know what to do anymore :(

Following up, tried sit them and only had a -6 F, -8 FT, 0 foul outs performance in a double digit win. Huge success based on how this season has been going.
