Even though you qualify it: “as long as he is playing 48 minutes, without weird position-by-skill restrictions” you still specifically retain one of the most illogical aspects of all:

He must play 48 minutes to qualify… The entire team, based on how many minutes they play, 48 for full and partial for everyone else (0 for 0 obviously).

That’s completely bogus. The players down at the end of the bench, usually young guys not ready to crack the lineup yet, get the MOST training in real life. They are not simply ignored.

Minutes played is rewarded by increase in Experience. There is no logical connection beyond that for minutes played and training advances.

I like the idea that overall conversation is shifting toward improving training, so I say good for you. I think that has to happen or the entire game is sunk. I got an email or private message or whatever it is called asking me to make my suggestions, and I think I will do that (not right now ‘cause I’m getting ready for work). I believe training can be made fun, intuitive, logical and more challenging all at the same time.

Playing in actual games is an element/aspect of player development.

... rewarded in this game by increases in Experience, as it should be.

example- Guys like MCW who play big minutes as rookies tend to develop quickly and establish a career.

They develop quickly because they have so much talent, not because they played more minutes.

Have you ever even been part of a coaching staff???

Actually, I have been on a coaching staff and head coach as well. That this is true of you or me is irrelevant to this discussion.

In short, minute requirement is realistic.

Nope, sorry.

If all you do is press your argument over and over and over again, the conversation is not elevated.

You're entirely missing the point, probably deliberately but maybe not.

Rookies develop because of their skills. They gain experience because of their minutes played. That isn't rocket surgery.

And your usual ad hominem attacks are hypocritical and entirely out of place.
