If I use "Let Coach Decide", but fill one or more spots in my lineup, will the coach override my selections or will he only have the freedom to set the spots I don't fill?

To be honest, I haven't used LCD in the longest time, but I do know that the game engine, along with the coach, can make some messed up substitutions and cause the players' minutes to get messed up. If you are confident that your team is balanced, that your guards can play either guard spot, your bigs have good secondaries, and your SFs can play SG, PF or C, then go for it.

Edit: After a look at your team, you do not look like you have the type of team that can use LCD effectively. You'd be better off using Coach Picks From Depth Chart or Strictly Follow Depth Chart (SFDC).

Oh, I use LCD all the time already, and I don't have any serious issues with how it's working - if I didn't, I wouldn't stick with it. I know it does a few weird things, but overall I think it works fine for me. I still don't know how it will work with the scenario I described, though, and I'm not interested in wasting a full game finding out when I can get the answer here instead.

I'd not use LCD, the reason is just because it may affect the training minutes. I want a my player plays his position for 48+ minutes and get trained.

However, I might try this in a playoff game, and see what "weird things" will happen ...

I discover that the coach will not override my selections. For anyone else in the future who might ask the same question.

Just because he hasn't overridden your selections so far doesn't mean he can't do so in the future. I hope you don't have trainees that need 48+, then get subbed out at the last second.

I'm not sure if it's in this forum or the BB Global - English forum, but IIRC, some guy said he set his trainee as the starter-backup-reserve and only put in 8 players. Or maybe the guy was only the starter, I don't remember. Then the coach proceeded to keep the guy that was supposed to start on the bench.

Duly noted. I kind of wish these things were in the manual. That said, I don't use LCD in games where training is the focus, so it hasn't been a problem yet.
