Possible Stop Gap for Foul Issue...

[Kodii Rockets]

I don't know if 2K plans on patching the foul issue, or lack thereof, but I was wondering if any of the roster makers would consider raising the Commit Foul/Draw Foul tendency for everyone.

Commit foul is pretty low for everyone except for benchwarming Centers (Curry - 94, Gadzuric - 90, etc.). People such as Dwight Howard who's in foul trouble quite often is very low, I think it's somewhere in the 40's.

The last few years I've raised it anywhere between 15-20 notches and this would grant me more of the off ball fouls, such as battling in the post and moving screens. I adjusted a few teams on Hyperballer's Roster (so far just Commit fouls for PF's and C's) and although it helps immensely regarding reach-in fouls as well shooting fouls I haven't seen any real effect on those 'intangible' fouls as of yet.

I was wondering if anyone else has tried this with their own rosters this year and what kind of results are you guys seeing?

Re: Possible Stop Gap for Foul Issue...

Trying to reach realistic stats, this is the most difficult one. Fouling is quite brkoen this year. I've raised all commit, draw foul and take charge by 35 for everyone but still the average fta in cpu vs cpu is below real-life. I tried all sorts of slider and tendency changes, attacking the basket more, post play, inside play, raising contact shot frequency, contesting shots. But very little actual success. All foul tendencies at 100 of course.

My only conclusion is that fouls are somehow mostly linked to animations and scripted at a low level. 2k12 was better in that regard. The only way to get realistic fta is by raising pace of the game but than other stats start to suffer
