I'm getting so annoyed this season with stupid subs by my coach during a game. I'm trying to train 3 players single posion this season and twice already it's been messed up due to unrealistic substitutions by my coach.

The first, a few weeks a go, my trainee was subbed off because my coach made 4 subs at once and one of my other players were shooting free throws. In real life I'm pretty sure in this situation the player who is subbing on for the free throw shooter has to wait until the next stoppage or subs in if the 2nd free throw is scored. He shouldn't be subbing on for a different player.

The second time was in the last game where my trainee was subbed off for the final 20 seconds... 20 SECONDS! What's the point of making that sub! I was winning by a big margin and was in garbage time so nothing was going to happen with 1 possession left in the game so you can't argue that he might be too tired (trainee has 5 stamina btw) or anything along those lines.

I think the coaches/substitions need adjusting to stop these ridiculous substitutions happening and killing training. I've now got at least 1 trainee not getting full training this week because of 20 seconds less game-time.

more detailed minute management is needed as I've written it before.

for the trainee that got subbed off, he'll get 98.66 percent of the full training, yet it's annoying, agreed.

I agree with you.

I had already ask for this change and not only for training purpose but it will be so great to be able to manage each player gametime more precisely when you want to be competitive for your two league games and your cup one in the same week.

Currently it is very hard without throwing away one of the three.

I am so surprised that so few users find this suggestion interesting.

Believe me, I am really annoyed when a trainee gets 46-47 mins with no apparent reason and I have to throw away 1-2-3% of his training for the week (for which I'm paying 15-20k/week so to speak).

My opinion on the matter however is that the game is better this way. There have to be unexpected situations. We should be pressed to make hard choices between the lesser of two evils, otherwise the game will get way too easy and predictable, thus - boring.

Besides, it happens to everyone, so finding a good way to manage these situations could turn into an advantage for the good manager. ;)

My issue isn't with the 'randomness' of it, I was more annoyed at the situation the substitutions occurred. There is no reason to make a sub with 20 seconds left in a blow-out game, other than injury or foul out. In the other situation i explained, basketball rules (at least in England) are that if you are subbing in for someone shooting a free throw, you don't sub in for another player, you have to wait until the next opportunity to sub in.

Having subs mid-game (3rd quarter for example) could happen for many other realistic reasons (low stamina, needs a rest etc) which i could understand.

-edit-
Questions already have been answered..
This is interesting and will follow the development
