Having never tried the blank line-up, it might be interesting to see what happens. Of course, the great drawback with this is you obviously can't train players in chosen positions.

Exactly my point. I thought the idea was to win on our own merist, not just sign a bunch of expensive players & let the game makeup for the short fall on what we had done.

The game engine wont make up for you're short falls if you cant make up for it in other areas. It seems to me a blank lineup is best for making in game adjustments and keeping players fresh, but it can also be a disaster if you set the wrong tactics or have players with certain skill sets.

The fact of the matter is this is a manager game not a coach game. Some manager's are very hands on with their coach and others leave it to the "experts" and let the coach make all of the lineup and in-game decisions. It's all part of the strategy.

I would like it even more if this were a general manager game, but we could do more to hire coaches and assistants with certain styles. We should be able to hire a "push the ball" coach and assistants who are big man specialists who increase rebounding, for example.

At levels like B3, it's a money game =P

Have you set "Let the coach decide?"

Yeap. Blank & "Let coach decide" Just think this takes away from the game & gives advantage to someone who knows this against someone who doesn't.

How so? The sub pattern is so frequent that it allows, I think, max output for the players you have.
