Try to use strictly follow the deep chart. With that, your starter will do 30-40 minutes. In case of blowout, it will be around 28 minutes for startes and 20 for subs

Buy a better back up. However, if this is Singleton we're talking about, sell him to me

No problem. I'm here to help :) By the way, was that google translator? because if it was, it did a pretty good job xD

Nota-se as influências do espanhol na tua forma de escrever. But I think it's unfair to talk portuguese in an English forum, so I think we should stop it.

It's good to know I'm not alone here xD

While I have absolutely no mathematic proof to back this up I expect that game shape effects all stats.I believe it actually changes the skill values used to calculate the outcome of a game. So a player with 12 rebounding might play as if he has 10 rebounding with mediocre or worse game shape, maybe 13 with proficient game shape.

I've only come to that conclusion based on what I've seen from my own team and the opponents I play against; my players seem to get better at everything as the season progresses and their game shape gets better, both offensively and defensively. My point guards get less turnovers, my bigs block more shots and my shooters seem to take less 20-foot 2 point attempts with 16 seconds left on the shot. Obviously it's not a massive difference, but I have a suspicion game shape affect all stats with the exception of free throws and stamina.

I'd love to do an actual study but I don't have the time to do it right now, with the University course I'm doing. But all's I know is better game shape means better results for your team!

Hi Soel,

As a two week old newbie.. I have to say this is the best post that I have read to help increase in understanding of one the more difficult game facets..I have found enthuisasm is a simiilar difficult concept to first grasp and I am starting to grasp the concepts from reading a number of posts.

Just want to say thanks for this excellent comprehensive game shape post.

My pleasure! I'm glad the guide helped.

Any other questions about anything, feel free to drop me a mail.

Thanks for posting this excellent guide, one of the very best I`ve read so far.

Although I`m a newbie this season my managment of gameshape is pretty good. My starters play in the two league games with their backups coming in off the bench then in my scrimmage games the backups start and the starters come off the bench.

Just one question. Does not playing players effect their gameshape, I mean, sy a player doesn`t play for many weeks will his gameshape derease, in effect, does he "loose his sharpness" if he doesn`t play?

Keep up the good work
