I am asking about subs during garbage time.
I am used to see subs entering the court if you have a 20 points lead at the end of the third quarter.

The key number is 21, not 20. This is why your starters did not get subbed.

:)))))))
Thanks
I've been playing this for years, didn't catch that.
I thought it may have something to do with the game changes.
Thx again.

After a few B3 games this season, I can now play with lvl9 stamina starters without seing them all exhausted during the majority of the 4th qt, and all of this no matter the subs' skills... So thanks for this improvement cause it was really annoying !

Now, will there be any economical update following all the last changes which have enhanced training and are now pushing us to have larger rosters ?
The market of +200k$ salary players has already plummeted and I know some managers who want to stop training for NT considering how it has become a financial black hole.
I'm afraid we won't see as many crazy profiles as the ones who have been created the last 10 seasons, and that NT will mostly be provided by farms within a few seasons. And I don't see this as an improvement for BB.

There should be a financial adjustment, such as lowering player salaries or enhancing each league revenues. To me, the best would be to enhance TV contracts by let's say 20%, which would not be much but would be enough to give all of us a bit of financial breathing to help training/keeping NT players and having a deeper roster. Of course, any financial boost should be followed by a similar increase of the player salaries floor, so that it doesn't boost tanking effect.

Well yes I know. We've already talked about it in another thread on march (313922.3)

Question isn't who's the first to talk about it but will BBs do something about it ? So far I haven't seen any answer coming from them. And we agree it's an important matter

That's a nice step but I still think that there's a long way to go.

In a 7-men rotation, backups are only playing around 8' per position (around 9' if the starters' staminas are lower), which means 40' on average for each starter. It's still not worth having really good subs if the 3-position sub will only play 22-24' and the 2-position sub 16-18' on average.

If all the teams get the same extra revenue, then I don't see how it could do nothing but decrease the gap between each team.

The idea of the +10% could be a good first step but I'm not sure it would be enough.
