Personal Foul in Game Mode

I am not sure if this is user error or a bug, so your help would be appreciated. When I choose a player on the left side of the screen and tap on Foul, the selected player shows up as the one committing the foul which is what I would expect. However, if I choose a player on the right side and tap Foul, the player selected shows up as the one that was fouled.
Can you clarify? Thanks

We do not see the same thing happening. In both cases, the player selected is the one being fouled. Maybe the confusion is that the available players to choose from move under the appropriate label ("Player who committed the foul" and "Player who was fouled").

You are right. When I select a player and choose Foul, my mindset is that I'm identifying the one who committed the foul not the player being fouled. It takes some getting used to since the other stats apps I've tried do it opposite the iScore logic. Thanks.

When scoring in Game Mode on an iPad (which is the only mode on an iPhone), we tried to take a "follow the ball" approach. You are always tapping who has the ball, then what they do or what happens to them. This leads to the most efficient number of taps for each scoring situtation, and also lets you tap things in the order they occur. If you do not follow this approach, you are always trying to do things after the fact and it is easier to fall behind.
With a little practice, you will find that this truly is the most efficient way to score the complete details of the game.
