Is it intended that 2 players in a 12 man blank lineup seem not to play at all? I think this might lead to angry NT player owners.

Result: (78509651)

Comment: Players that have been set in a position have played in the right position. As their subs were not good and as the game were a little hard, they played a lot but that sounds logical. Maybe I expected Renaudet to play more as he starts to look good but that's a detail.

On my view, the test is positive with only 3 positions set.

I'll test a full empty line-up next week.

LCD, blank lineup, (78509593), sit them by foul trouble

POS Starting-Five
PG G. Sutherland (31 mins) - J. Zozaya (15 mins) - J. Doughty (2 mins)
SG B. Penkov (31 mins) - V. Skoropad (17 mins)
SF S. MacKechnie (28 mins) - I. Nikifarau (20 mins)
PF G. Marasco (28 mins) - S. Moffet (20 mins)
C P. Buchwald (28 mins) - G. Walsh (20 mins)

R. Bollert (dnp)

The game was a blowout win. The backups played a lot of minutes. I would have switched the backups for SG and SF. The starters were chosen good. I might have chosen Walsh as starter at PF instead of Marasco. But they are not very different, so everything was ok.

LCD, blank lineup, (78440078), let them play

POS Starting-Five
PG A. Stoebner (38 mins) - R. Krispl (10 mins)
SG R. Geugelin (37 mins) - H. Brockmann (11 mins)
SF G. Quellmelz (37 mins) - F. Wildenhain (11 mins)
PF T. Harjans (36 mins) - J. Sedelmayer (12 mins)
C T. Nürnberg (36 mins) - J. Poellnitz (12 mins)

The game was very tight. I lost due to a shooting foul at 0:00 on a three. My opponent hit 2 of 3 FTs and I lost by one.
Although the game was so tight the backups played a lot of minutes. Especially the 2 players at SF and PF. Wildenhain (PF) has no skill above 8, Sedelmayer (SG) has JS 9, JR 8.
The backups for PG, SG and C make sense. I guess they have been chosen by their BB-position. But I would have switched Wildenhain and Sedelmayer.

Here are their skills:

Frank Wildenhain
Game Shape: proficient

Jump Shot: mediocre Jump Range: inept
Outside Def.: average Handling: awful
Driving: mediocre Passing: mediocre
Inside Shot: average Inside Def.: respectable
Rebounding: mediocre Shot Blocking: respectable
Stamina: average Free Throw: strong

Experience: pitiful

Joakim Sedelmayer

Outside Def.: average Handling: respectable
Driving: atrocious Passing: awful
Inside Shot: inept Inside Def.: awful
Rebounding: atrocious Shot Blocking: awful
Stamina: respectable Free Throw: awful

Experience: atrocious

Hope this helps. If you have any further questions just let me know.

@everyone: Thanks for the feedback, it's exactly what I need. Keep it up, please and we'll have enough data to implement next season. Btw, to clarify, a lineup with 2 starters set will be cleared and replaced by the code, while one that has 3 set starters won't.

Subs in Strickly follow... still gonna be sucks as always? In tough games backup play really small number of minutes, especially when they are backup for players with high ST..
something will change in this area ?

@banan-mat: this is not a thread for that, but the short answer is no, we're not touching that. That's all I'm prepared to comment on that here (so please don't try and expand the discussion about it here).

LCD, blank lineup: (78439712)

I played my 2 games with LCD and BLU (and Let them play) and everything has been good imo.

(78509657) Kalnius has been hurt in the second quarter but minutes are normal.

(78550015) I could have set the line-up differently (Spira starter instead of Dzuvalekovski due to their GS) but my players are very similar, so that's ok. Minutes distribution looks good too.

Just tell me if you want a specific test next week or later.
