In today's scrimmage, I had a guy set as the starter, backup and reserve for C. However, he only received 44 minutes, and for some reason my starting SG played the other 4 minutes. In another game, it was the same situation and my C only got 47 minutes and my backup SF got 1 minute. And for both games, I had players selected for every position at starter, backup and reserve. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? This is really getting in the way of my game shape.

In the Substitutions box, did you use something other than Strictly Follow Depth Chart? If you did, then the coach probably subbed out players, or garbage time could've had something to do with it. It isn't unusual to hear a player get subbed out during garbage time.

For future references, put your Substitutions option as Strictly Follow Depth Chart (SFDC), and if you are 1-position training, only dress 8 players.

how about my case...

58836671

my C doesn't play as much minutes as possible, only 36 min,
while it doesn't seem him fouled out.
I set up as "strictly followed depth chart" and set him as
regular, backup, and reserve.
my coach is too stupid to follow the order?

You put 11 players in your roster for that match, and it was a blowout game. If you want him to get 48 min, then do what you did this match expect puting 11 players in to your roster. Make it 9. Then you won't see that again(hopefully).

Dressing 9 players is a fairly good number, but in my experience (and the experiences of others), druing blowouts, the trainee is usually subbed out at some point. Dressing 8 is the only way to make sure that they don't get subbed out. Unless they foul out, get ejected or injured, of course.

9 players is the highest it should go. To give your self a *higher* chance of having the player in for 48 minutes (as long as they don't foul out, get injured, or get ejected.
