It's frustrating to no end, and if it makes you feel any better, there are usually 5 threads a week from managers having the same problem as you. I suspect you did everything right with the tactics setup, but it's just one of the frustrating hiccups in the game that does this. The only foolproof way to guarantee your trainee gets 48 minutes is to only put 5 guys in the lineup and hope he doesn't foul out.

I was reviewing a game when one of my trainees was subbed in the last minute. I wanted him to get full 48 minutes so I set everything to keep him in (Strictly follow depth chart and stay on foul trouble). He was inept stamina. He was subbed out in the last minute for no reason: he was not fouled out.

I don't know if this is how tired players get off the court but it sure was frustrating to see him not get that last minute. Can anything add on to this?


If you dress more than five players, there's no guarantee this won't happen unfortunately. You did what you could and honestly, 47 minutes is close enough that I wouldn't switch training just for that.

The best thing to do is to put him as backup in the other games you play. He should get a few minutes playing time.

This week, as Hrudey says, 47 minutes is close enough to 48 that you don't have to worry. I've forgotten the numbers but it's over 90% of the full training.

With all the things that can go wrong, I don't know how people train NT monsters.

Tantrum! I have my trainee as backup. He got 47 mins while a better starter got 1 minute!!
This game is really playing tricks on me! My trainee is now loaded up at 94 minutes!!!

I have a suggestion that might work.

I dress between 5 and 7 a game.

Example if I am training IS and need my C to get 48 min my backup players will be small guys like a backup PG or a SG for example. Rarely do I find that a small guy position like PG will sub in for who ever I have starting in a big guy position like C or PF.

It has worked very well for me this season so far. But honestly, sometimes a 46 min game just happens because the coach is a dick lol

The most players you should dress are 8 IMO. It works best with me.
