Haha I have a couple to many big men already and they don't get game time so Reg would just be sitting round all day at my team. I'm sure someone will pick him up. He looks like a good option for a team that likes to play outside attack and keep a strong inside def.

hi Jerry, I have been using Depth chart Til 4th

You might try Strictly Follow Depth Chart. That gives the coach the least freedom to choose who plays. If nothing else, it will give you a baseline reading of how good your starters are relative to the backups.

As others have said, the coach will sub in players when the backup would be more effective than the starter. I can't see your players' ratings. But based on what I can see, frankly, I can't imagine that your starters are significantly better than your backups. So I don't think that's the issue. Maybe your starters have really, really good stamina. If not, your coach probably just needs to have his decision-making curtailed a bit.

One other thing: is your Foul Trouble option set to "Let Them Play" or "Sit Them"? It doesn't look like your players foul a lot, but "Sit Them" can get your backups some extra minutes if a starter happens to pick up two fouls early.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

That maybe true, but at least he'd be sitting in a place that is much closer to his sad sister :-) haha

HI! I just read this following my game....I did use Strictly follow depth Chart, and have always had it set to Sit Them when in foul trouble. I also followed someone elses advice for this game, and just made sure it was a blowout ;) Actually, we did very well! Minute distribution was great, things worked out like I would like to see!! And we won by 26 on the road, with Take it easy :-) All in all, a good night!

David Robinson and Dikembe Mutombo were both around 25 years old when they made their NBA debut, and both were named All-Stars in their rookie seasons...

Neither of the players you have named made the All Star team in their rookie year (Thank you Google) Both of them made it in their second season thou which is still pretty good no matter what age you join the league.

I'm not trying to say that their are no good players in the NBA that joined the league at a later age, I was trying to make a point as to why you have to pla your trainee to get full training.

You're reading it wrong. David Robinson's first season was 1989-90, with the All-Star game being played in February 1990. Mutombo's first season was 1991-92, and made the '92 All-Star game as an injury reserve.

Both made the All-Star team in their first NBA season.

sounds like someone got a team rebuilding to do ^_^you're still in div 5, if you can manage to rebuild a functional team now, everything will be smooth later when you promoted

dont be discouraged by what you think some loopholes in the game. this game maybe far from realistic, but i have played many online manager games, and this is the best ever i played.....a blowout 4-0 playoff series. hehehehe. somebody please correct me if i am wrong....

Is there an issue with the minutes in the PF/C positions in my most recent league match? I played both PF and C as starter/backup/reserve and SFDC.

Marietta Magic vs. Spumante Pistons 25 - 0 (20389888)

It was a walkover, so I'm not sure how that plays into it, but both PF and C played 43 minutes, and no backups appear to have played.
