(543159) There were way too many fouls in my game. I had 33 fouls including 16 in the 1st half. My opponent has 20 fouls with 9 in the first half.

One thing I noted that had to do with fouls and substitutions. My starting SG picked up 2-3 quick fouls in the 1st half and was benched which is understandable. But in the second half he hardly played even before picking up his 4th foul. After he picked up his 4th foul he didn't play at all. The thing is that my whole team was in foul trouble including my starting SG's one backup. Even after my SG backup picked up his 4th and 5th foul, my starting SG was not put in with 4 fouls. Instead the coach would shuffle players out of position and even place a center at the SG position instead of the starting SG. To top it off, even when the backup SG fouled out, he still wouldn't put the starting SG back in with 4 fouls! Instead he would again play players out of position. My backup SG fouled out a little before 2:42 in the 4th quarter. This is with the "Strictly Follow Depth Chart" sub option. The depth chart was hardly followed at all. All but one of my starters were subbed out by the 10:00 mark in the 1st quarter. Most of them weren't even in foul trouble at that point.

Its hard to get training when starters barely play half of the game

Sounds like your team has pretty bad inside def and/or shot blocking. See if you can buy a decent player in transfer list.
You should have at least 2 games per week (inc. scrimmage). Just keep strictly following depth chart and they will get a decent 40-50 mins play time.
I am not sure what a player requires for it to be respectable training but I would guess about 40.

fwiw this will be addressed in the new release of the game engine.. which will happen after the cup tournament is over.

Cool can't wait

Wow can't wait for the new engine...just had 40 fouls in my latest game! Had 38 fouls in the previous game as well
