To sum up, the problem with BB is not that we are GM, the problem is that we know nothing about the engine.

I'd say the beauty of BB is that after playing this since 2007 you can always find something new to learn.

Low stamina on the starters helps to get some minutes for the backups.

There is much room to improve the rotations, game shape and whatnot. Any thoughts on how to change something in this areas are wasted time and energy.

I don't mind the management for the most part. The cringe I feel when I'm down by 4 and my entire roster of backups come in is the one change I still think that needs to happen. That's a coach failing at his job entirely, and since I can't fire him I can't fix it

This is perfect suggestion! +1

doesn't really matter much. They go out collectively under let coach decide at whenever the break in the action is. If there isn't a break between 7 minutes and 4 minutes, then everyone comes in at 4 minutes and plays until whenever fouling happens.

there are serious issues with let coach decide. never use it. always use strictly follow depth chart. coach is considerably less stupid under strictly follow.

however, even in real life superhuman beasts like lebron james need a rest and it happens that the rest coincides with a moment where the team is behind for just a few points.

but, yeah, again, never use any other option which is not strictly follow.

I play chess since way before that date, and I keep learning every day. No need for obscurity nor excesive complexity.

BB is not obscure or excessively complex. BB is challenging. It is also a very long term game. I've been playing with my current team since season 28 (my first team started on season 2 and lasted for ~20 seasons), I've climbed from div IV to div I in this meantime but I consider my team still far from ideal, I think I'll need around 5 seasons more to reach a point where I'll be able to fight for championship in 1st division level, your team is brand new, you have lots to learn, it can be painful sometimes but it's totally rewarding. You'll see, if you manage to be patient enough in a few months on every friday you'll be anxiously waiting for that training update and celebrating every pop as if it was a Real Madrid/Barcelona/whatever other team goal. Putting in other words, most of the games you find around there are like learning Portuguese if you are a Spanish speaker, it's not that hard. Think of BB as if you were learning, I don't know, German
