I noticed a thing during this week's game. And I wondered how could a player with a good resistance play so few minutes? And then I noticed that even when I putted him in the initial 5, he wasn't being registered as an initial player (at least didn't had the "S" thing). He's Shane Joyner from my team, in today's match I've putted him as a titular. Why is this happening? Is this a bug or a coach decision?

If you go to set your lineup for your next game, select today's game from the Former Matches at the top of the page. Does Joyner show as the starter for the game?

Yes, it does. But after watching the replay of the match against S.O.S. Basket, he definitely didn't start in the initial 5. This way I can't never improve his performance. Why is this happening?

I don't know why he didn't play then.

I was hoping maybe he wasn't actually the starter, that for some reason the orders were lost.

It's not the first time it happens to him, he's being considered a bad player due to this issue. But he's got some potential, I just didn't cared before because he was my third choice to the spot. But this season, I've made some changes and I need some fresh blood.
Yesterday, I sent an e-mail to the BB team like it was written in the "known issues" threat. Hope they sent me a response at least in the end of the week, because I need to make a move on this issue.
Well, it's just a question of wait and see. Thanks for your help anyway.

This week I noticed that even if he doesn't start in the initial 5, and if he is in the substitute place and I have a 2nd substitute, the 2nd substitute will play in the place of Shane Joyner. That means he never plays! I have to have a 2nd substitute, imagine the main player gets injured. How Shane is supposed to hold the game on his own? Please BB team, give me some feedback. At least someone let me know that you'll have a look on this one, doesn't matter if it is next week or next year but just let me know that you know the existence of this problem. The easiest way was to just sell him and let it be the others problem, but I just can't do that.

How long usually is the waiting time on this issues? I know the BB's have a lot of work and I'm not a Supporter, but... if there's no way I'm going to see this problem solved I would like to give it straight to me and don't keep my hope alive on having a fully operational Shane Joyner.

Depends on what the BB team has to deal with.

BTW, being a Supporter or not has zero impact on when an issue is dealt with.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

I've got the same problem. But in my case it depends by the competition and the position. In fact I've got the same problem with the player that I choose as power forward for italian cup's matches! Look at my post in "power forward problem"!!! It's a big problem for me cause some players play a lot of minutes and others a few!!!

Ok, thanks for the answer.
I was just wondering if it was because of not being a supporter, but I'm glad to know that it has nothing to do with it.
Oh, this weeks game the same thing happened. Just keeping things updated :P

Today I had the same problem, the player I selected as center backup was the starter and vice versa.
All the rest (including tactics and attitude) was as chosen.
