I played a scrimmage and purposely started one of my weaker players in order to give him reps for gaining skill.

In the game, he did not play due to the coach's decision.

How is this possible??

The game was: (2061559)

The player is Lucien Courchesne, who was designated as the starting center, with 'coach picks from the depth chart'.

I thought designated starters were SUPPOSED to start at least, regardless of strength of player...?

EDIT: Added MatchID link.

if you play let coach decide and the player that you have markes as starter is very much worst than the backup it's likely to the backup play all minutes..
if you want to give minutes to this player you have to play with formation until 4th period..
sorry my english..

I"ve learned to use 'Strict Depth Chart' for scrimmages so that the players I want to get minutes get them. Unless they get into foul trouble, which happens.
