To respond first to your comment that I didn't specify who was supposed to be my starter and who substitute, I think it was pretty much self-explanatory who was supposed to be who. Apparently, if Peljusic was supposed to come off the bench, I wouldn't be here to complain.

On your other notes, I wasn't aware that now only "Strictly Follow Depth Chart" grants us a piece of mind in regards to our orders, which is, by the way, a complete BS, if you ask me. What is the point of all those "options" if, in the end, the coach has the final saying? What is next? To ignore our "Look Inside" pregame order and play "Run and Gun" on account that he thinks that is more appropriate tactic to be played? That is BS.
And yes, you guessed it right, I played "Depth Chart Until 4th". I don't think anyone ever plays "Let Coach Decide" and "Coach Picks From Depth Chart". At least, no one at the right state of their mind. By the way, what is the point of having those options in the first place if coach can ignore them at will?

I don't approve of this, as none of us do, I'm sure, but if it is just absolutely necessary for coach to have so much decision-making power, can BB at least "explain" to "him" that there is quite a difference between playing competitive game and scrimmage. Clearly, winning the scrimmage is not priority.

Maybe I'm trippin but I double checked my playoff game for the first round and submitted to play Playoff Normal twice... It shows I submitted Playoff Crunch Time, won by 40+ and now have to deal with a crippled enthusiasm going into the SF's and the Championship against a team that will already have Home Court on his side. Any help?? I really submitted to play Normal in that first game!

Hi!

I made a different lineup(9 players insted of just 6) and different enthusiasm(Normal instead of TIE) for this match:

Im 100% sure that I never changed it(didnt even enter the setup page) and saved the setup.

Thanks!

Hi,

Training will be screwed again.

How come O. Vucurovic playd only 36 minutes as I set him to play as center (and also as backup and reserves)?

M. Babo got 10 minutes as a C - he wasn't even set to play in the game and V. Piironen got 5 minutes as C - he was set only PF reserves.

Substitutions was set Strictly Follow Depth Chart.

O. Vucurovic had 4 personal faults and he didn't got injured.

Match: (33316934)

Why to set roster, when it doesn't even work?

No, it was set as "Let them Play"

It worked as intended. Your game ended in a blow out, your coach looks for subs to bench the starters, even with SFDC. Wasn't Babo in the selected players list ? If so, even if he is not in the depth chart, your coach can use him as a sub. I guess that is what happened.
Anyway, you had 11 selected players, your starting 5 would have been benched because of the blow out.

If you want Vucurovic to play the full 48mns, set a starter and a sub/reserve for each other positions, 9 players max, never ever reserve only.

Pretty sure I set a lineup...

In my last league game (32876389), I set my trainee Luís Azinheira to play as starter, sub and reserve at the PG position with 9 selected players, but the coach put my SF sub Bernard Koch to play 1 min in the fourth quarter as PG. And yeah, I used "Strictly Follow Depth Chart" and "Let them Play". This is really really strange. Now I'll need to play him as sub PG on my cup game and my third trainee will not get full training. :(

You don't have a default one?

The coach will make changes in the last 2 minutes of a game overriding our instructions. It's working as designed we have been told. Thus, you can only guarantee 46 mns with a 'perfect' line-up.
Your player has missed 45 seconds, if I were you, I'd continue the training week as you had planned it. Those 45 seconds won't make a big difference.
