I posted about this a couple of weeks ago (78952.1). Best I can figure is that the ge makes some calculations with 2 minutes or less to go in the game (regardless of fouls or score) to optimize the lineup. If any starters are still playing, it will put in another starter that is better suited fort that position no matter what lineup formations were selected. To get around this "odd feature" I have been mostly playing 7 players at a time (instead of 9) wherein the two starters who are pulled out are much worse at pg than the pg starter who is listed as starter, backup and reserve for pg.

i am starting to think that problem is from drop-down menu choice, maybe it is somehow conflicting with standard lineup...

Same thing again tonight as in this post above (26712.144)

(10657706)

Ascariz plays 47:23 at PG, then gets subbed out for the last 37 seconds. It wouldn't be so annoying that the GE is messing this up if missing 48 minutes by a little bit isn't as big as we are being told.

Kicker is I'm doing all this to attempt to cross-train a big man with guard skills and build a SF. Near impossible without wrecking your team.

charles seemed to think it was not a bug, but rather a feature of the ge that has not changed.

the only way i have figured out to overcome this is to make sure (when a blowout is expected) that there will be no players on the bench (resting starters included) that would have significantly better pg skills than the player installed as pg. thus, have the pg types play all 48 minutes and allow the pf/c back-ups - of course, this could be difficult for your team ...

By bug or design or whatever its making it difficult to cross-train players, which was already overly difficult.

But yeah, it seems I'll have to either overhaul training and go back to 2-position to assure everyone gets mins or throw away results and not have any backups. What's the the point of having 1 position training?

In my 04-28 game with Cincinnati Storm,yesterday, my center, Bertran Rangel, played only the first four minutes, then showed in red, and never played again during the entire match. I had chosen the "coach picks from depth" option. He does not show as injured and there is nothing said about him.

I'm as certain as I can be that I set a lineup with only 6 players dressed. Two players (one starter & one backup + reserve) for PG, and four other players each as starter/backup/reserve at a given position. The match is running with my default lineup.

Really annoying because it's going to screw up my training, and game shape.

Yesterday I played a league game. I know I put my line-up correctly. But apart 3-2 and crunch time the rest went wrong. My players were playing across all the positions without any order . When I try to check with the help of drop-down menu it gives different selections - sometimes the right one.
