I've wondered this for as long as I can remember, and everytime I get a different answer.

Does low post mean anything for gaurds?

(I like to think so and always give a little practice time to it, but if it doesn't matter than I should be using that time elsewhere.)

no

it currently has zero effect on the PG and SG. but, it will have a bearing when/if the new release comes out.

100% positive

This is also my understanding, though I thought that LP had zero effect for point guards and some effect for shooting guards?

This post could not be converted. To view the original post's thread, click here.

LP has zero effect for anyone playing the point guard or shooting guard position. If a PG or SG is playing SF or any other position other than PG or SG then any LP skills they may have become position applicable.

That is absolutely, positively, unequivocally, 100% for certain, for sure, without a doubt.

is it weena? i am not 100% convinced it does not affect the type of shots your guy takes. i am totally on board that once you take a shot, it has no effect. similarly with anything else, like rebounds, steals, etc... but i am not totally convinced it does not effect the kind of shots your guys will take.

Its been stated by customer service, TK, and seble many times that LP currently is worthless for Gs unless they are playing SF.

i've heard them say it many times, but am not sure i would take it to mean more than lp is not used when a guard takes a shot. i forget who it was, but one really good coach once talked about how he thought lp might affect what kind of shots a guard takes, and it seemed like there was a chance he was right. i am not claiming it is one way or the other, just that i am not totally convinced lp has absolutely no effect. its not too important though, with WIS changing it soonish.

TK was quite vague on many issues. On this, he was very clear that the sim does not factor (at all) the LP rating of players playing the two guard positions.

Thank's for all the help, I fixed my practice plan.

i thought they were makign a change in this regard?



i have been meaning to ask if they changed something. i noticed a couple of times recently my pg " nails the hook shot" and also one other comment that indicated the pg had posted up... maybe it was "gets the ball down low and scores"

was the pg shifted over to SF temporarily? i dont think so. i will try to go back and check to be sure.

i dont ever recall seeing these types of comments for any of my gaurds prior to the past few days and i read pretty much every pbp.

Pilger nails the hook shot

61 - 61

Pilger nails the hook shot

61 - 61

sorry for the doubel post, but you get the idea.



this was in OT. Pilger was listed at PG spot to start the OT, there was also an update with about a minute and Pilget was still listed in the PG spot. during the four minutes in between that update, there was only one substitution for my squad, .. a PF coming in for another PF.



so, clearly Pilger was playing PG..... is it possible to think of a hook shot as something other than a low post move? is it possible that, although it is a low post move... Pilgers LP does not influence the shot?

id be interested to hear if any of you have had similar experiences lately. Or have gaurds made these types of moves all along and i just didnt notice it?

Pilger's LP, for what it is worth, is 18. not too bad for a PG
