i'm hoping that the new game engine sub logic will prevent this 8 foul business.. without getting into algorithmic details the old way didn't handle fouling out robustly. The new way certaintly will...though its less gaurunteed to put the best combination of players on the court... our thinking being real coaches don't actually consider every possibility, they just make sure they don't have someone on the bench that would be doing a much better job at a particular position than who they have now.
