no usually more people get the other skills trained before passiing in which I think that is the good enough answer for you

I think people train jump shot because they can see it more directly than passing. When a player scores, they attribute it to better jump shot. They don't see that passing (now 18 on transfer list), driving (71 on TL), and jump range (42 on TL) also contribute to better shooting. Also, when JS is trained, players' salary increases more rapidly than with passing. This gives the impression that a player is improving faster when training JS. Because managers look at the salary when buying players on the TL, JS increases the value of a player (salary) faster than passing, player sells for more $.

I am also surprised that people don't train free throws (69 on TL) more. For bad players I can understand this, but what I have found is that even the players on national teams are often bad free throw shooters.

For me personally, passing is definitely not useless. As I said, it contributes to better shots as well as to decrease turnovers, and I prefer balanced players to one-dimensional players.

Totally Agree, Passing is seriously underated,

JS makes people feel like that have a great offence, so they train it, Passing is harder to relate to for the same affect.

Everybody wants a scorer, and wish 30pt+ everygame

good old skill passing, stamina, ft, doesn't have the eye catching STAT and charisma

Ask yourself this, if ur team is below avg in ur div and often out score by 10
Do u see a 10pt scorer rescsure your team?
Or u see another 5ast for the new pg?
Or 5 more reb from the rebounder?
Or the defender?

what I think is that a lot of people dont understand the game that BB is based on:basketball

even some people that watch the game think that driving and JS is the best thing for a player,and they forget that a great team is not made of AAs and Cs

i agree with you. although i really don't know what does AA or C mean
this game is really great and it faithfully reflects the reality of basketball. so if you want to be good at this game, learn basketball, it is much easier and more fun than learning the game engine.

I'd have to say,...that if you want to train a Center or a Power Forward, You would have to play them at PG or SG,.. which is hard to bring yourself to do,....

So,...the game is saying,... If you have a C or PF, you have to play them @ PG or SG, to learn Passing,... they couldn't possibly learn to pass playing their own positions....(yeah,...right)

In reality, ONE good JS player of coz can score a lot, but most of the time PG holds the ball, PG can make a magic pass to one of FOUR players in court to have easy scoring.

For example, ONE good JS player can score 30+ in a game, but he may need excellect stamina to do so. Relatively, ONE good Passing player can help other four players to score 10+ in a game easily, not much stamina needed in average, that means delicating 10+ assists & 40+ points totally.

In conclusion, i would prefer a good passing player instead of focusing JS ability during training.

P.S. above personal assumption is based on reality situation instead of BB game engine.
