Hello

My friend who introduced me to the game told me that it was possible to train 6 players a week, each 48 minutes a week. He has been doing this succesfully for many seasons now and never experienced a problem.

The last 2 games, I have experienced problems (both blow out games and the coach took off my trainees) and was hoping people could help me. Because or something changed to the GE or I am doing something wrong. And off course if I am doing something wrong, I would like to know what, so I can make the necessary changes and get back on track with my training...

I used the following tactics and selected the following players in my game on the 12th.

starters

PG Pehlke
SG Veneau
SF Knirks
PF Martin
C Travers

Backups
PG Barnett
SG Payne
SF Balshaw
PF
C

I picked no substitues at all and no backups for C and PF. The positions for which I wanted to get 48 min training.

My friend has been doing this as i said for many seasons and as long as there were no players injured or any players in foul trouble, he would always get 48 min as long as he picked "strictly follow depth chart" and "let them play" It always worked for him in blow out games too.

For my game I picked that strategy too. But the coach substituted my C in the 4th quarter, off course messing up my minutes. The funny thing was that he did this only to the C and not the PF.

Same thing happened in my game on the 14th too. Again a blow out, same settings used and no foul trouble or injuries.

starters

PG Pehlke
SG Barnett
SF Martin
PF Myers
C Aindow

Backups
PG Venau
SG Payne
SF Travers
PF
C

I picked no substitues at all and no backups for C and PF. Again my C got substituted and not the PF.

Could anyone pls tell me if this method doesnt work the same for Forwards as it does for Guards?? Or what I am doing wrong? I really would like to train 6 players a week...

First of all I would set the backup and reserve to be the same as the starter. Second of all its easier to train 5 players than it is to train 6. I train 6 and occasionally (only happened to me once due to a foul out) something will happen that causes a player to get subbed in. Most often this can be fouls or injuries, but the in game coach can decide that you are winning by a lot and so sub in your other players. There is no way to control the in game coach. Just set Let them Play, Set Strictly Follow Depth Chart, Set the Backup, Starter and Reserve to be the same person (the trainee) and hope for the best!

Hope that helps!

Check your Selected Players List.

You shouldn't put the other(not in your starters or your backups) players in it.

And sometimes, when u put a inside player on the Guard's position, the thing like this also happens.

i know. that is what my friend explaint to me.

like i said, my friend had this happening to him like once a season, but only lost like 5 minutes to 1 player during 1 game. he never experienced it 2 games in a row, twice for a full quarter.

I will change it to as what you said it should me, but the same player into the same 3 positions and lets hope it works :)

that could have happened... i did indeed play 1 or 2 players with better inside skills into the guard position. thanks for the help.

will try to use all the new info.

You need to play the same guy in starter, backup and reserve for a start.

Also coach must be set to strictly follow depth chart

And also do not bring unnecessary substitutes into the game. I.e. a player that is not assigned a position but is the roster for the game. The coach tend to sub these guys in especially in blowout wins

And sometimes, when u put a inside player on the Guard's position, the thing like this also happens.

Is there a reason for this behaviour? It happend to me too in my last game.

yes, when the GE think your Guards is better than your inside guy , when your team needs(like your team is behind at that time), this kind of things will happen.
