Starting in 1954 the NBA wanted to speed up the game. This led to the introduction of the shot clock. However, in order to prevent teams from preventing the other team from being able to take a shot in time a free throw penalty after each foul was introduced if there were too many team fouls in a quarter.
Starting in 1966 the NBA lowered the number of fouls before the penalty started from 6 to 5. They also added the ability for the penalty to start after commiting more than one team foul within the last two minutes of a quarter.
Once you activate God Mode, Grizzled GM Basketball now gives you control over whether to include the penalty in your league, and it gives you control over when the penalty will start, for regulation, overtime, and the last two minutes of a quarter. For real player historical league the game will naturally evolve from no penalty to the modern rules.
