Thank you for the list mate.
I know that. One of the trainees is 24years, maybe NT-candidate in a few seasons and we talk about 46 minutes, not 47...., Every Training counts from my perspective...

But my point was: it always worked before and there were two games last week when it didn't..

I had it set to:
Substitutions: Follow Depth Chart
PG - 1 - 1 - 6
SG - 2 - 2 - 7
SF - 3 - 3 - 8

Yet my PG1 didn't play in the second quarter at all and only played 23 minutes in total. He's in the same condition as both SG and SF and played 30 minutes in the previous game with the same offensive tactics and the same setup with a record score difference. He wasn't injured in the game, so why didn't he play in the 2nd quarter at all?

Unless a player gets injured or fouls out, it's not possible for him to play fewer minutes than a substitute. Especially when I had it set to:
Substitutions: Follow Depth Chart

Please fix it.

Hello,

Before when I played "Strictly follow" and put my backup player only on Reserves, they only played in garbage time or injury/6 fouls situations. Now they are playing like a normal backup getting minutes in the first quarter. Is it because they erased strictly follow dept chart or something?

I have been playing BB for 15 years (RL) and in every game of every year I have ever played I have either trained 3-6 players in either 1-2 positions...

...and have NEVER had significant training minute losses like those discussed here. Perhaps a 47 minutes at worst or less if fouled out (acceptable). Why? because I have followed a two strict rules:

1. If you are training a player, play them 48 minutes and list them as STARTER/RESRVE/BACKUP; and
2. Choose Strictly Follow for Coach decisions.

IMO, there is nothing wrong with the GE, you just need to assume that if you do not follow these 2 above rules, things may not go as you planned regarding minutes and training...and likely won't.

Best Regards.

Let me add two or three comments:

1. You have to select „let them play“ in case of foul trouble.
2. You should not line up more than 9 players for 1-pos.-training; 8 for 2-pos.-training.
3. Do not screw your substitutions ;-) straight structure/line up.

I got the best results with leaving the starter blank which is a little bit risky in case of walk overs.

Since exhaustion has been introduced it is very hard to have players older than 27 to get 48 minutes … but they only have to play 40 minutes for full training … so there is no problem ;-)

+1 Erik.

I forgot to mention 'let them play' and this is very important.
