I'm not to sure why I'm trying to learn how to blank now that BB just announced they would probably be doing away with it, but I partial blanked with only my PG set for all 3 spots and kept it on strictly follow depth chart like I always do. Huge mistake. Apparently Strictly Follow Depth Chart while blanking is about the worse thing you can do in this game. My players were rotating around like a carousel. Centers at SG, SGs at Center. I've never seen my weekly stats page have so many numbers on it.

Ooooo, yeah, that's not good.

You can do Let Coach Decide with a partial blank (only 1 position filled in), and that'll usually work fine for training. I've tried doing Let Coach Decide with PG spot filled in between 2 players. End result was bad. Starter got like 44 minutes, backup barely played and didn't really even sub in at SG.

My Utopia team recently did Coach Picks from Depth Chart with full roster set...that also didn't spread minutes out at all.

Seems like the only two settings I can find that do anything are Blank (or partial for 1 spot and 1 player only) with LCD. Or Strictly Follow with Starters/Backups fully filled.

Interesting, I was going to do Coach Picks from Depth Chart next with only 1 position filled. It doesn't spread the other players minutes out enough?

If you like to live dangerously, or just enjoy chaos...then you can still test it out.

I have always used that and it works for me, but I have less than half the talent AZ does. It might be a talent issue.

Hmmm, my experience with it is limited, how many people did you have on the depth chart?

Two listed in the depth chart. One at starter, the other at backup and reserve. Blank the rest. But it wont work after this season.

Some cool new features with the season's news otherwise. The match viewer update is sweet.

At least they're fixing stamina so it's no longer punitive to have more than average stamina.

And that match viewer update is something I've been asking for pretty much every time there's been a "where are the box scores?" thread. Absolutely perfect.

BB used to give a couple seasons notice for changes. Or at least one. But now they're making changes after the season already started without prior notice???
from now on, high stamina players will have a slightly better tolerance to higher weekly minutes as opposed to their lower stamina counterparts.... Also, we are reducing the effectiveness of game shape training.


Whatever you think of the changes... not liking how they're just suddenly imposing them like this. (unless I'm reading it wrong?)

What's the negative to this change? How does it negatively alter your training plans for the foreseeable future?

This happens to fall under the "no duh, should have altered it a while ago" category. Now, a player won't have GS punished as severely for having high stamina and playing longer --even if a sub is listed and ready to go in with comparable stats-- when the manager can't control liminiting minutes or forcing subs.

This change should not have been delayed. at all.
