I tried this yesterday, but my PF picked up 3 fouls in the first half and missed 7-8 minutes there. Also, I blew out the opponent and another player came in and took the last couple of minutes.

So I tried this in my last scrimmage to get 48 minutes and to keep my starters from playing too many minutes.

I had 2 guys foul out. Does this cost me any training? To import an HT term, its not like giving a walkover, is it? As long as I start with a lineup, I'm safe, right?

It was closed 'cause I posted in the wrong Forum.

Anyway, that really doesn't matter anymore 'cause I doubt that BB will give my trainee the minutes that he was suppose to get in that game and furthermore, I'm sure that this things will happened again:s
Now it's really just up to me to either accept the fact that we don't have any control of the game or simply quit the game:/

We have some control, just not perfect control. And everybody in the game has the same level of control.

I know that we all have the same level of control:D but that doesn't have to do anything with what I said in my post. I wasn't asking for any privileges. I just want Game engine to follow my orders through.

If BB wants to do a justice, they should look up into games we're complaining about and then, IF they find our complains reasonable, then they should do their utmost to find a way to somehow compensate our loses rather than just say:"We're sorry."

yeah but that it ain't follow the orders exactly is normal, am i right that your SG have no backup? In this case it could happen easily that players without orders get substitutes, if they with you in this trip no matter if you don't list them as backup. That are free to select players, which the coach use to give someone a break.

Your PG play 21 minutes as a starter, because he get foul trouble in Quarter 2 and you blow out your enemy, so that he miss most of 2cd and 4th quarter.

Thats how the bug looks for me, thats why i even wanted this thread open to ask you that and if i'm right there is no bug. And there are some tricks to avoid it(without the fol out thing, which is probadly hard to avoid)

Sorry, my friend, but you're wrong. I did have a backup on SG position(Marcus Mullen) and it was actually in my best interest to get him as much minutes as possible in that game 'cause my training for the last week was Outside Shooting for PG and SG.

I know that you're trying to find a reasonable explanation for what happened, but I assure you that I've set up everything correctly. And while I can agree(to certain degree) with your explanation why my starting PG didn't get enough minutes, there is no reasonable explanation for 6'1" Guard to play in PF position... especially if I didn't ordered such a thing.
Anyway, to go back on my starting PG, as I said I can agree to certain degree with your explanation, BUT you're forgetting one thing... a quiet important thing... purpose of Scrimmages is to test your players or, in this particular game, to get them enough training minutes. The result itself should be totally irrelevant and therefore it shouldn't matter if I've blow out my opponent. BB should look up into that and try to "explain" Game engine what Scrimmage and its purpose really is.

If you don't order the plyer he would be order from the coach where he need a player ;) if he should play don't take him with.

Sorry i write SG but i mean did you have a backup on PF who ain't backup at other place? There are playing 3 guys, and i thinkanthony was a double backup who sparing your center must. But in Blowout you get your start out of the game, so you don't have a backup but you got unspecified player so they play there.

Normally testing games let play even the benchers long time, but it is better that it works like normal games ... First you don't get an adavantage to palyers who play cup, at the other things training gets to easy if the coach fills up the 48 minutes.

I just don't get why u guys can't do it.
Unless the player gets into foul problem, he will play the 48mins if he is the starter the backup and the reserve and you choose "strickly follow depth chart"
At least i used it a couple of times successfully...
Just look at my last scrimage and u'll see that Arash Adebi played the 48mins, and if u see back in his history u'll see that's not the first time he did it...

just my 2 cents

Well, it worked for you, but it certainly didn't work for me :s
Why? I don't know. I know that I've set up everything correctly including "Strictly follow depth chart", though.
