BB-Marin has started a war against BLU, and maybe he should. only BBs and GMs can have statistics to know how much BLU has perverted the game.
However BLU would not be so popular if the other substitution patterns were working as described. I have many occurences were they were simply not doing what they should have been doing. For me the BLU is a replacement for a deficient "Let Coach Decide". But the worst implementation is still the "Strictly Follow Depth Chart" which is supposed to let "Many managers find that using this option gives them better control of their training minutes each week." as quoted entirely later on. However i did use once again that substitution pattern and I had one slot with a 48-0 between starter (9K salary) and replacement (50k+ salary) and on slot another 40-8 between the two players. I understand that stamina is playing a role but should it ? if i ask something should it be simply doing what is written ? a mean to dispatch the time in an efficient and somewhat "controlled" maner as written in the rules of this game (not in BB-Marin's mind or concerns) ?
I simply would appreciate if Buzzerbeater's management team (do they exist?) were putting their words where their mouth is...and fix what should be fixed first following the rule book rather than fixing first what is probably a side effect (and probably a bad one) due to an improper implementation of the rules.
Substitution Pattern
The coach will sometimes use his own judgment to decide what the proper balance is between starters, backups, reserves, and even players on the bench but not in the depth chart at all. You can set the balance between how much coaches use their own judgment or defer to yours with the substitutions box. You can use entirely your judgment (Strictly Follow Depth Chart), entirely the coach's judgment (Let Coach Decide), a mix between the two (Coach Picks from Depth Chart), or you can use your depth chart strictly until the 4th quarter, then tell the coach to try and win the game however he thinks is best (Depth Chart until 4th).
In setting your tactics for a game, you might want to consider a few different factors. For example, instead of having your best players start in every game, you might want to optimize your lineup on a given game day for training purposes.
In order to train effectively, a player should get at least 48 minutes of game time in a given week – anything less and the training lessons from practice just won’t stick with them as well. Your in-game coach will try his hardest to win; in order to optimize your training minutes, you can use the Strictly Follow Depth Chart tactic to overrule some of the coach's substitution decisions. Many managers find that using this option gives them better control of their training minutes each week.
Strong managers are able to balance a solid training regimen with an aggressive team on the court. For more information about effective training strategies, please review the rules section on training.
