When the game engine says it's garbage time, both benches should empty, not just the team that is ahead. In fact, in real hoops, the team that is leading usually subs after the losing team has conceded and emptied its bench. A small thing, but would give the game even more "Realistic basketball action.

Since point differential is far more important here than in the NBA, I think there should be a tactics option regarding garbage time. The manager should be able to choose whether they want their starters in or benched. Maybe even let the manager define how much of a lead by what quarter defines garbage time as well. Then just have garbage time revoked if that lead is ever cut in half.

I want this. It's hard to maintain game shape/train players when you only have a semi-competitive league. In our league the top 3-4 teams are miles ahead of the rest. I want to keep my guys in decent game shape, but when the GE subs them out for the whole second half, it's next to impossible.
*Note-* don't take this as whining about the game being difficult, I understand that there need to be challenges in order for it to be fun, that's not what I mean. Think of it this way- in real basketball, the coach chooses when to put the subs in, but in Buzzerbeater it almost feels like it's the ref's decision.

I like the idea. So, BB should have the following changes:

1. Set the definition of garbage time, say 25~30 points at the end of 3rd quarter.
2. Set different lineup in such situation. (either win by 25 points or lose by 25 points)
