Hi!

All of my starting five players played less than 30 min per game in the last match.
I choosed the option that coach are not allowed to change anything.
I thought in this case the players should play 36+12?
here is the match (46309093)

The coach will substitute your starting five out in the fourth quarter if you're leading by more than 20.

I choosed "Strictly follow depth chart" not "Depth chart until 4th".
why this settings exist if it has no matter?

Blowout mode is not a coach instruction, it always occurs if the conditions are met.

The coach settings exist so that the coach does not take autonomous decisions about where to put your players in the lineup.

Just to add even in a non blowout game it won't necessarily be 36+12. Depends on how your starters compare to your backups and stamina.

In a blowout, the minute split will be closer to 30-18 as the coach clears the bench in Q4.

If you realize that you're going to blow the other team out, put the starts in the first 2 spots in the lineup and the sub in the 3rd spot. That will get you closer to 36-12.

Either way, getting exactly the minutes you want if often difficult.
