Not ready for this game vs Grand Reign. Used your same tactics as well as have my teams enthusiasm at eager, plus putting it as crunch time. Hopefully that will be enough to win.

Great game, although it looks like Grand Reign put more effort in? Probably the difference.

Yes it was. I had a feeling I couldn't beat you straight up because of your 3 point shooting so I decided to counterpick. It worked well for 4 quarters lol. Now we'll see how much the OT minutes affect my players. Nice 3pt shooting. My players were fouling a lot which helped to an extent.

I'm having troubles with tactics. I set someone for 48 minutes (starting and each sub is the starter) and strictly follow depth chart, but they still get subbed out. I only won by 20 but they should get full minutes. Am I doing it wrong? I figured if I left the substitute spaces open the coach would fill them in automatically which is why I fill them with the person in the starting position.

they won't, barring injury. better to leave an open gap for the backup roles for the guy you want to give 48 to.

Usually I'll just take whoever I don't want to play completely out of the game lineup as in, I will take them and not even let them be on the bench with open sub spaces.

Yes, I do that too, but this wasn't about barring a player from getting minutes, this was about getting a player 48 minutes as PG to maximize my training. I am trying to train 3 players in single position. I have heard that training 3 players in single position is no worse than only 2 and going over 48 won't give any (noticeable) increase. So it makes sense to utilize all 3 training slots at exactly 48 min.

I would do the exact same thing but to make sure to schedule a scrim and literally play those pgs only once per week (1 pg per game full 48 mins and then switch every game

Although if you're doing single position training for 3 different players, if one gets subbed out, you can always dress them one of the other games to make up the difference, or go with a natural starter/backup role, and flip them for the next game. That works pretty well for getting multiple guys 48 minutes, too.

But yeah, I usually dress 6-7 players, just in the event of injury. However, I've gotten burned by that a lot recently too, so I've gone to dressing just 5.

I usually start the same 5 players for the first two (league) games, then make up minutes for their subs during the scrimmage. But now I'm trying to focus a lot on single position training. I try to get 48 minutes in a single position, then let them sub in another position to get close to 60 for their game shape.
I was only complaining because my tactics weren't followed when there was no foul trouble and it wasn't a (major) blowout. Even a blowout should still give them 48 because of my tactics, but alas, this is not reality.
