Thank you all for the inputs.

How about game shape? It says in the rules that if the players play too much, it will drop. However, what is the max. that I can play a player in total minutes but not get that penalty? Moreover, does too much playing also affect stamina?

Btw, it is really hard for me to afford trainees right now. I guess my 18 yr old C is better. I have some good C/PF players aged around 24. Are they too old to train? Of course at this moment I am training them but should I stick with them or use my 300K cash to buy younger ones. I am trying to sell some players so we will see.

you want to keep the minutes in the range of 24-90...if they go higher or lower the game shape will probably drop.

18-19 year olds are the best ages for trainees, but players train just fine up to around 22-24 range.

So a related question with that. If in my scrimmage game I force the coach to use the depth chart, I wonder how long the coach would stick to the starters. I am asking trying to use other guys who didnt take enough minutes above 48 minutes level. :)

Games shape is supposed to drop beyond about 90 and below 40 or so, but not too much outside those limits. You'll be OK as long as it doesn't happen on a regular basis week after week.

Where you will see the biggest drop in game shape is if a player is injured for a few weeks and doesn't get any PT. Though it might not drop much as 36 minutes, it won't recover very quickly either.

About of time played has no effect on stamina, at least on a weekly basis. If a player has low stamina the more minutes he plays in a game, the worse he will perform as he goes on.

there are different settings for the depth chart that you can choose from. but if your players get tired then the coach will put other players in the game. the coach doesn't really take into consideration that you want players to play 48 minutes across the boards. the way that i would do it would tell the coach to strictly select from the depth chart. then only have one player as an option for a certain position. so if player A is the only option for starter, backup, and reserve then the coach can only choose him and he will get a full 48 minutes. that's at least what i would do if my back was to a wall. but if you pay attention enough then your starters will be able to play for both real games and your other players can start in the scrimmages to make up time.
