well dont quote me as saying it would have made a difference, game manual basically says 'coach will do the best to make sure the team wins'.
but im assuming that if your best players have played the whole game up to that point, and reserves will perform better due to stamina, then he will still sub your starting players.

probably something worthwhile checking in the forums actually to see other peoples experiences. Ive never personally used it that much either, so yer, dont quote me!

I'm guessing stamina would have some effect on this, like you said.

well, yer im not saying he would have won had he used 'coach picks till 4th'.
chances are, if he had used that tactic, is that his starters would have played crapola for the last 3 mins.
hence why the coach subs them out.

tough one though. set ur players to starter-reserve-backup. means you need to keep their stamina up. which means missing out on training during the season.

or else risk crapola playing starters. :)

Well tonight was an unexpected win for me. Played TIE expecting the Moose to dominate but he's smashed his team's GS. What the hell dude?!

Mind you I was a bit concerned in the last quarter. My starters hit the bench late in the 3rd as my team put in a 40-16 quarter, only for MMM to fight back and get within 12pts in the last. I was waiting for the coach to put the lads back in but he was cool as a cucumber, the extra PD might have been nice though.

Kinda regretting selling off my SF and SG from last season, would be sitting well on top and undefeated right now had a I not. Funny how things play out in this game.

In the last week I have added a new addition to my family. Not only do I now get no sleep but I forget to set my side for SC. I played Normal to protect my Points difference. I knew I was going to lose.

isnt it awesome.

I won my first BB league championship not long after my little one was born.
Its because i had so much more time at night to analyse rosters/games/tactics/transfer league trades etc.

Well congrats on the new bub. I guess that provides an explanation as to why your starters are cranking out so many minutes. With those salaries I would think you should be pushing for top spot. Sounds like you know what the priorities are though, best not to upset the boss that's for sure! :-)

I actually made the final 8 back in season 12 and the effort it took resulted in me getting relegated to Div III. As such i'm pretty dark on the whole Battlers Tournament now and the fact is, a Div I team IS going to win it. Therefore you should not kill yourself trying win, especially with 7 ABBL teams still lurking. Eventually you will get one and even if you beat one, chances are you won't beat two...

The goods news is that next week is the ASG, so you can play your full line up without stressing about losing a league game. That on top of the fact that your opponent's GS is screwed, should mean you can cruise through the next round playing normal.
