May I suggest something to our BB admins.

Its all about our tactics for a game.

I believe many, if not all, would like to control the last few minutes of the CLOSE game.

So my suggestion is simple.
Its about giving us the power to decide what kind of line-up we will play during crunchtime.
Let us define crunchtime as the last 3 minutes of a CLOSE game.

My suggestion is to let us decide what kind of line-up we will play in crunchtime.

the choices are:
1. The Starting five - Your starting five in the specific game
2. Hot five - The hottest five you have in the game. In each position.
3. Best five - the five most skilled players you have in each position.

This choice will only apply in a CLOSE game. Let us define a close game. Close game is a game where no team is leading more than 15 points in the last 3 minutes.

If you like to implement this change, please show your support by commenting. Thank you.

No. Not all users have the time and/or ressources to be online during games, so giving an advantage to those who are online during games would be unfair.

He never said you'd have to be online during the game. He said that you'd choose one of the three options for crunch time before the game started.

Well, technically this was never said, but I think that it's implied, so same difference. If that's what we're going for, I'm all for it.

What if I don't want to sub all 5?

What if I just want to leave trainee in, or "have free throw unit" or 3 pt shooters, etc.

Now those are hard to predict a need for pre game...

What if I just want defensive positions of players to switch but nothing else?

This suggestion makes things really complicated in the long run

...All valid points. Perhaps... maybe... two drop downs? one for being ahead, and one for trailing? Each could have a list of all the different options [the things he said, the FT and 3PT units you mentioned, and one that leaves everything exactly the same]...

At this point I'm just throwing out ideas. I think the idea of being able to set a separate strategy for late-game situations would be useful, but I'm not sure how it could work.

I like the idea but as what I have said already in my suggestion, this kind of option would only be use if the game is CLOSE.

I hope I heard some words from some admins out there..

Thanks for those good questions sir..

1. We may add another option which is Let Coach Decide
2. I think same answer with number 1
3. Same answer with #1

4. I dont think it will be complicated. And its more favorable to us than the current system of just letting the system decide.
