I meant that if you had decent backups your starters wouldn't be out there 45 min / game in non-blowouts. By choosing to allocate all your $ to starters, that's sort of the intended penalty. I mean your 8th best player makes only $9k and 9th best makes only $4k. That's why your starters won't sub out!!
Eh, I don't want backups for every position for various reasons. But when I'm winning, even in a closer game, my starters would usually go 36-40 min with the same backups I have right now last season. Also, salary is some times misleading.
And I'm still behind on a player. I know that. Between being busy and trying to get the funds/find the right player that is why my rotation is a bit short. As I said, I've had to partly remake my team coming into the NBBA 1 season earlier than planned. One of my current starters is supposed to be a backup.
Of course, with so little time between end of season and beginning of new season, it's put me in another bind as far as building a team up. And yes, there's something about planning for the future, but as I said, I wasn't planning on moving up this season. The league's best teams kind of sold their best players 3/4 of the way through making me the best team by default (and I'm not one to intentionally lose).
Say if instead of buying a $200k PF, you had bought 2 $100k players (or even 3 $65k players) instead... moves like that and you wouldn't have the GS / minutes problem. So it's a choice of "peak strength" vs. depth. And you went really extreme to 1 side. I'm at the other side probably. (some league games 11 different players get in for me)
I understand that. And thought about it. I have money in my account and room to spend, still. But my schedule has made it hard to grab everything I want at once, plus some of the TL prices are outrageous.
Are you saying if your depth is lower salary, the coach will play them less? Because that's dumb if that's the case. I always assumed it didn't matter. And my depth, IMO, is better than their salary (or at times was).
anyway, i don't see why i can't put a cap on minutes in blowouts in the 4th. Every NBA coach pulls their stars out up 25 in the 4th or down 25 in the 4th. Why can't I?
