Well I had a 40 point lead in my last cup game, & garbage time was triggered with 1:31 left in the 3rd quarter. There was a dead ball with over 2 minutes, but it wouldn't trigger then. But yeah, same thing with me a lot of games... rooting for a triple double but the player gets pulled.

Not sure what the sliding scale is though. It's still 20+ partway through the 4th quarter. Or at least it used to be. I've had a few games with an 18 point lead & 8:00 left in the 4th quarter. On a dead ball, my starters still stayed in...

But it can really screw up training minutes.

Well, yea it can, but that's usually during Thursday but I doubt that happens a lot if you plan your minutes well. I mean, there are three games a week right? Unless you have 15 player team with no bit part players, I don't see how your minutes can get messed up.


I've had many games where my trainee was subbed out anytime after 36 minutes.

You need to learn how to set your lineup so that doesn't happen.

Don't know i only ever play Strictly Follow Depth Chart. The other options don't look that appealing.

Usually works. Sometimes there are inexplicable substitutions out of the depth chart.

Depth Chart till 4th is broken at worst and unpredictable at best and should only be used in games you don't care about.

Aussie I have had games with just 7-8 guys all assigned a position, strictly follow depth chart, the PG assigned to starter, reserve and bench and the coach has still pulled him out for the last minute.

Well that has happened to me once or twice but 'anytime after 36 minutes' sounds more like a problem setting a lineup.
