Well my team has every player has "drawing a paycheck" and considering I keep a 5 man team and make every player play 48 minutes per game every game, it seems more likely to me that my team hasn't been updated. Because my players are certainly doing more than "drawing a paycheck".

If it is only drawing results from the future and not restrospective, then it doesn't make sense why some players have higher than "drawing a paycheck", so it must take in to account past games.

I guess I'll just wait and see if my players change their role or not in the next few hours, otherwise there is probably a bug.

Yeah I'm not fussed if it isn't updated for a while, just wanted to point out that it either hasn't been updated or there is a bug :)

Its just been updated now..

At least for me it has

Now pretty much all my guys are rotation players

You are right, all players in China I.1 are "draws a paycheck" now

Has anyone found any correlation toward minutes played???
Think it count's for last "x" games played for your team

for instance my first guess is:
35+ mins = key players
25-35 mins = Regular Starter
15-25mins = Rotation
10-15mins = backup
<10mins = End of Bench
0mins = Paycheck

Can anyone confirm or change this??
Maybe if people find players that fall outside of these ranges we can work toward the correct ranges and update.

All my players are outside that range.
Look at my roster, it is very interesting...

Those are off.

My starting Center averages 40.7 and is a regular starter
My starting Power Forward averages 37.7 and is a regular starter
My starting Small Forward averages 29.7 and is a regular starter
My starting Shooting Guard averages 23.3. and is a rotation player (took over at starter on 11/23/2010)
My starting Point Guard averages 37.6 and is a regular starter

My primary backup Point Guard averages 19.4 and is a rotational player
My primary backup Small Forward averages 18.5 and is a rotation player
My primary backup Power Forward averages 13.4 and is a backup
My primary backup Center averages 17.4 and is a backup
My secondary backup Center averages 9.6 and is a backup

My former starting Shooting Guard averaged 28.1. He's currently averaging 36.6 for his new team in Brazil and he's listed as drawing a paycheck.

I love the concept and I see good potential. I think so far, just based off my roster that all this feature does is display how you manage your players. I list the same PG, SF, PF, C on a regular basis while my other players are exactly what they are according to the above listing. My backup PG, SF, and my current starting SG play those exact roles. They are the first off the bench and I look to them on a regular basis when my regular starter needs a break. I rarely pull my starting PF and C from the rotation in favor of their backup when setting my matchups and during the game, they see limited action.

I tend to find key players are the league's top average scorers. So probably more related to how much of the player is performing in relation to their team. Maybe...

Hmmm.. Interesting.. Could a bb enlighten us on how the system works? or should we investigate further

He averages 31.4 mpg and has missed to regular season games..
