If, as I understand, it's ok for the coach to defy instructions then yes, amending the Game Manual would be better. At least, every time a new manager comes out complaining that he can't get 48 minutes in a single game, he can be referred to the Game Manual and there it is clear that the coach is not meant to always follow the orders and the depth chart.

Then you'd have to change also the fact that if you have a 75K substitute to a 8k starter, the 75k will never play if the game score is close till the end.

Tbh if i understand that game facts (foul problems, injuries) cannot allow you to guarantee 48minutes, the striclty follow pattern is deeply bugged, and do not follow the game manual even remotely. So even 'mostly' seems to be a lie to my eyes.

Maybe because we -at least I- are not discussing about 48 minutes a game but about substitution. No sub at all is a specific use of the 'strictly follow sub pattern', but not the only one.

My main trainee - home grown but for 3 skill points - is about 122 SP10. I suppose that i know how to train 48 minutes.

We are discussing if the text should be changed, not if the game substitution code should be changed. I guess "mostly" will do for now.

Everyone has a right to express their opinion. I am listening, just not agreeing. The substitution code is what it is for now, imperfect and yet still it somehow works for most teams. Remember, this game was never supposed to follow all of the players wishes, in that case, we can just add a textbox for each player in which you can just insert the wished number of minutes and be done with it. It's supposed to be challenging.

Also, since the game was not designed to have players play 48 minutes per game, expecting to get those minutes is unrealistic. It's a trade off, just like with everything - you risk not getting the full 48 minutes per game but gain the ability to train better players (faster - if it works). You could train 5 guys in two positions, and the risk of not getting full (weekly training) minutes is much smaller.

The criticism, or bugs, described here was never intended to be able to play 48mn, but you're still at this stage in your thoughts. What can i say...nothing, this is your problem..

By changing the game rule book in adding 'mostly' you acknowledge that there is a problem and choose not to fix it. This is a behavioral trait. So be it.

LOL. He has described the game for you. You choose not to accept his explanation and you continue to complain. That is your problem, not Marin's.
