Wait...are you serious?

I've never had any issues scoring through contact with Hakeem, and I don't even have the finisher skill on him. The only offensive skill I apply is post proficiency, which makes his post fakes and post shots even more effective. With the other two spots, I use tenacious rebounder and eraser.

Hakeem's good for 20 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks pretty much every game.

95 close
95 standing layup
91 shoot in traffic
99 post offense
98 post fadeaway
95 post hook
95 stamina
90 durability

You wont find another center in this game with a better group of offensive ratings than that.

I don't even have Finisher on Hakeem and he finishes everything under the basket.

Well, prove that he finishes everything and put him against my Wilt or even Russel. PM and add me

Find that hard to believe. My Olajuwon is soft as butter. The second he's in traffic at all he throws up a bricked standing layup. Never dunks either.

Shaq has clearly outplayed him for me, offensively. Olajuwon is clearly the better rim protector and rebounder though.

For me Olajuwon can't ever miss down low. Seems like he puts up a solid 15/10/3 every game on better than 55% shooting.

Maybe we just have different opinions of "never misses". 55% is good IRL, but in this game I expect my center to be like 70%+. At least I know Shaq regularly puts up those numbers, and I've been mercilessly dominated by Wilt a few times as well.

I have never once been dominated by Olajuwon. A couple of times I have poured in 40+ with him, as once he's hot like anyone else, he never misses. But in general, he's just way too soft for my liking.

But as I said, he's awesome on the boards and defense anyway, so it works. I have him as my starting PF. It's also fun to sneak a 3ball on somebody with him who doesn't think he can shoot and intentionally backs off of him. I can just picture their face when he nails it. :P
