Trap Frequency: This is how often your team will apply extra defensive pressure in a half-court setting. The benefit is that you will be more likely to get steals. However, it also will cause your players to become tired faster and can also lead to increased fouls. (Always-Often-Normal-Sometimes-Never)

When Jibba & I build out the draft classes, we position lock players in case they fully develop as it would cause issues if they played down a position (talking mainly about PF's & SF's). However, if the player doesn't develop (Dennis Rodman, Danny Ferry, etc.) they are stuck at their position with not much flexibility. In those cases, should we have the ability to remove those position locks and allow players to play down for more flexibility in team constructions?

I think there's plenty of good players...artificially improving players who aren't that good doesn't seem necessary. FBB over time is a constant battle against rating inflation anyway. It also kinda sucks to have maybe gotten rid of a player like that, knowing that limitation, cause he's not working out only for the next season for him to magically be made a viable option cause the limitation disappeared in the middle of his career.

+1 I think that's the risk you run with taking a position locked player and the rules get hazy on who gets to lower their limitations.

Like if Pervis Ellison could play SF that'd be nuts or maybe Karl Malone woulda had a respectable career

yeah, I think you just let busts be busts. People knew the risk when they drafted them.

Edit- Ferry is an interesting one... he didn't develop beyond his rookie year, but I actually would bet that if you put him at SF right now.... he's be a beast. Part of what hurts him is that PFs don't take enough 3s in FBB, so while he plays good D and rebounds, and shoots lights out from 3, he just doesn't take enough. At SF he's suddenly top of the league rebounding, taking 2-4 more 3s a game, taking more jumpers, and he'd get a big boost.

I'm of the same mindset as others.

Maybe you could free up restrictions for bench roles, but even then it just frees up more cheating opportunities for the Blazers.

Yup. A few bad actors making it more difficult for the rest of us.

Thanks

Some big names, but not Brogan, so looks like I'm running it back.
