will you update the rules of the game with this (and other) new features?
Many managers don't read the forum and are in search for official answers!

and they don't speak English, please keep game menu up to date.

Great move. Looking forward to testing the changes in the substitution patterns of high stamina players, which was one of the main things that were preventing many of us from really taking it seriously to buy good backup players. It did not make much sense to spend too much on backups if they were gonna play at most 5' in each position, while the starters were gonna play 40-45' because of stamina 8-9 (119403814).

I'll try to explore and adapt to this new environment. For the moment, I bought a starter with less salary than the one I sold and I invested a decent amount of money on a backup (47073186) for the first time in my BB life.

Kudos to the BB staff for trying to make the game better every season. Perhaps some decisions were not ideal, but this only happens to those who take the risk to make brave decisions.

Well see how many minutes a decent back up gets in an elite team. What kind of minutes are you hoping that he averages from the bench?

No idea, mate! I would like at least 11-12' per position (preferably 12-15'), meaning 20-24' for two positions in a tight game (that is, no +20 in the 4th quarter) or around 30' for three positions. I would love at least something like this for a 7-player roster:

Starter 1 (stamina 9): 37' // Backup 1 (more a PG build for example): 11'
Starter 2 (stamina 9): 36' // Backup 1: 12'
Starter 3 (stamina 9): 42' // Backup 2 (more a SF/C build for example): 6'
Starter 4 (stamina 9): 37' // Backup 2: 11'
Starter 5 (stamina 9): 38' // Backup 2: 12'

That would mean Backup 1: 23' and Backup 2: 29', for a total of 52' played between the two. In my 3 close final games in B3, the sum of the two backups was 31', 30', and 28', which means around 6' per position on average.

To sum up, IMO it wouldn't make much sense to widely implement the exhaustion changes if we do not allow backup players to play at least around 12' per position when starters have Stamina 8-9 (which is almost always in B3-NT environment).

There is an easy fix to this and it is a monetary fix.
More money for a BBM win. 20K just doesn't cut it. Should be 50K.
More money for a Cup win, Start with 75K for the first round and not 50K
...
Staff salaries stay the same for the whole season just like player salaries.

When I see the bids that many managers give in the auction for hiring coaches, I get the impression that BB clubs are not short of money, there is plenty of money!

Regarding the weekly salary adjustment of the staff, I think this is a great idea of the game, which adds dynamism and a little difficulty, which is good.

If they do if for the staff, why not the players? It should be one system for both. Because you are paying salaries for both.
For example....I had a 34 yr old C with level 18 rebounding with a salary of 194K...one week later it double dropped to level 16. According to BM, that was a difference of 37K but I still paid 194K the next week. Why not have his salary drop?
One system for both. players and staff!!

How are they different? Player salaries, staff salaries. You are paying them for doing a job.
It is the one area of the game that I thought HT did better than BB....staff!!
