Personally, I think that the ''inbetween'' position switches have become more unpredictable in the last 2-3 seasons, but take this with a grain of salt.


Yeah in the past 2-3 seasons, but like you say "with a grain of salt", I may just be wrong or misremembering.

The guy I started at SG has 9 stamina, and he actually got substituted for 3 minutes while the starting PG with much lower stamina played the entire first 3 quarters.

I've also had difficulty (in the past 2-3 seasons) using a player as substitute for both PG and SF positions, but I can use the same player to backup the PG/SG positions, the SF/PF positions, and PF/C positions. The same thing happens as in the previous example, he will sub in for the SF, but even though he has plenty of stamina I don't think he substitutes for the PG, at least not until the PG simply can't play anymore.

Well i wonder the same.

I want to have 3 big guys. A Center, a PF and a C-PF. So lets say player 1 is C, player 2 is PF, and player 3 is a C-PF

i use to do it like this
C Starter: player1 Backup: Player3
PF Starter: player 2 Backup:Player3

So even if player1 and player2 start together, there will be multiple times where Cplayer1 & PFplayer3 and also Cplayer3 & PF player2 will play together. This barely happens... Last time i tried it, player3 played 15 minutes and was almost all of them as PF, my C played 46 minutes lol.

Stamina doesnt help with fouls.
I brought this up because there can be many factors why a player plays more or less minutes per game:
- Coaching instruction
- Stamina
-Quickly amounted fouls in a short manner of time PLUS whether you choose to let them play or to bench them in foul trouble
- Form

I dont say that these have to directly influence switching or Minutes played per game. But they can under specific circumstances.
