I have a suggestion about the BLOW OUT rule.

First an observation: I don't agree with a previous suggestion that someone made that the players rested on a blow out should be the best players and not the starters. It has to be starters. Each game is a different game, and only the user knows who he considers the "best players", you cannot have a formula for that.

So I agree that the starters should be rested on a blow out. But here comes my suggestion: I think the players that take the floor on a blow out should be the RESERVES, and NOT THE BACKUPS. First because that's how things are in real life! Second, because this way a user would be able to set a player as starter and reserve, and this way this guy would be protected and even in case of a blow out he would still stay on the floor. This makes sense also because the difference of points in a game can decide the regular season, so the user will have more freedom.

Is there any way to set it as the players who have played the least in the week. In my cup games this year my reserves happen to be my starters who have already played a lot. While the backups and starters in the cup match have played less.

if you have players that played a lot already, then just don't put in the scrimmages.

I'm pretty sure they wont make "players who have played the least in the week" because that would be making our job too easy. It's supposed to be hard for us to have an efficient training. And also that would work only for games on thrusday, we can have blow outs on saturday and tuesday also.

No, no. We stick to the previous request. RESERVES PLAYING IN THE BLOW OUT, NOT THE BACKUPS.

what do you think Charles? Forrest?

Currently all the GE does is refuse to put a starter in at any position and the coach decides who to play besides that... where the backups get a 33% factor added onto their efficacy rating.... if i made only reserves play than the logic would get really complicated as you are almost gaurunteed not to have 5 unique reserves to fill the court.

I don't agree.

We always have to send a complete depth chart.If we send a complete depth chart, then we had 5 players listed as reserves. Those are the guys that should play on a blow out.

If a reserve is listed as reserve to more than 1 position, then the backup plays.

Because, as I said before, this is more realistic and this will allow you to protect players from the trash time. Power to the user.

I really don't think this will make things complicated, on the contrary, it is supposed to be more simple. Reserves play on blow outs. (if a reserve is hurt or fouled out or "not on unique position", then the backup plays, and so on.). Simple and direct.

that logic is a bit easier to say than to write down....

i would have to write a whole different framework for substitutions for blowouts, rather than just modifying the one i have now... but I suppose I could do that. If Charles and others agree I'll add it to my list.. but after i get these ratings issues straightened out.
