It's since season 2 I keep asking this and today's match with Philippines reminded me why I so fucking hate this nonsense garbage time.
You play for medals. You play for difference points. Every point is important and then comes the garbage to let you waste your score.
It's pure nonsense to be forced to put a worse lineup on the court. If you play for a title or a 1st place in your group you will play your starters, not your bench.
I am not whining on today's match because other teams too had garbage but I consider it really an annoying and useless thing. The coach should be allowed to decide whether to have garbage or not.


Agreed.

I'd also, like to set players I know to be foul prone, to intentionally try and injure other teams' players too, while we're on the subject of realism and suspect sportsmanship kinda things like running up scores...

I've long wanted more options when it comes to coaching so I'm a fan of any suggestion for more direct control and more options. I started playing in season ~15-20, and the number of things that are out of your control game to game have always frustrated me, and they haven't really ever improved.

To activate and de-activate garbage time, on coding side, if game-code has been written properly, it may be some minutes of code changing. Its almost nothing in case of time and it would be a great update.

Also, i want to add to the above, that sometimes even training can be completly destroyed if you add a player in the line up. You have to play with 1 C for example, if you add a 2nd one with no playing time, he may get garbage time and destroy the training of the first one, but if you do not add him in the line up, your first Center may get injured and then play the whole game with no other Center.

Garbage time is just a garbage feature as long as no one takes control of it.
