I'm at a complete loss as to how to get my starters less minutes.

Whether I choose "Let Coach Decide" or "Strict Depth Chart" or anything else in between I am constantly getting players playing 40+ minutes.

The only times I'm seeing my starters play less is due to foul trouble, or if I use "Let Coach Decide" and I'm blowing out my opponent. As that isn't happening much this season training is becoming an absolute nightmare.

I have to agree with you. I am having trouble managing my players' mins due to them playing too much. I have noticed that if your backup is a much worse player than the starter...the starter will play a great deal more.

It seems to be tied to stamina somewhat. When I first started, there was more balance between the players, but after I trained stamina for a couple of weeks, it seems like the starters dominate more. It may also be connected to form, and if your backups aren't getting enough minutes, then the form difference could be even greater.

I sometimes reverse my depth chart, which tends to get a little more balance in minutes.

Maybe BB could have a game-to-game tiredness factor, so that a starter can't go 40+ game after game.

I don't know what changed but this never use to happen before...even with a crap backup. No matter how bad a backup is, no player should be playing 40+ mins a game. I just have to hope I get a blowout so my SF actually sits.

I think it's better to post this in the bug forum.

I have the same problem.

It's not a bug.

This is the appropriate forum.

Could it be that a better coach makes more time sharing then a 1 star coach (which I have). I always wonder why he does not make more time sharing because he does have several good players at his disposal for the same position. My opponents however make more time sharing and use almost all of their players. Maybe a more expensive (better) coach would do better?

Your coach and your trainer are two different people. You can't upgrade or change your coach (yet). Only your trainer.

When you have trained stamina, your starters get more fit than backups, and therefor play more minutes !! (Coach try to use starters as much as possible) The difference in minutes will then increase evenmore, logically.

To share minutes you have to put your less fit players as starters, and your "best starters" as backups. Then they will come on when the "B-starters" are tired... (Try not to put all your less fit players as startersin the same match, One or two in one match,and another one or to in the next...)

This might cost you victory once in a while, but in the end you train more players and your results will turn more solid over time.


Example... If you have 3-4 youngsters you want to develope into stars, make sure they have low stamina in the start, so you can easier control their playing minutes. When they reach their main skill training goals, fit them up with stamina training and starters possitions to complete them !! (sell with great profit, and do it again)
