Since point differential is far more important here than in the NBA, I think there should be a tactics option regarding garbage time. The manager should be able to choose whether they want their starters in or benched. Maybe even let the manager define how much of a lead by what quarter defines garbage time as well. Then just have garbage time revoked if that lead is ever cut in half.

I want this. It's hard to maintain game shape/train players when you only have a semi-competitive league. In our league the top 3-4 teams are miles ahead of the rest. I want to keep my guys in decent game shape, but when the GE subs them out for the whole second half, it's next to impossible.
*Note-* don't take this as whining about the game being difficult, I understand that there need to be challenges in order for it to be fun, that's not what I mean. Think of it this way- in real basketball, the coach chooses when to put the subs in, but in Buzzerbeater it almost feels like it's the ref's decision.

I like the idea. So, BB should have the following changes:

1. Set the definition of garbage time, say 25~30 points at the end of 3rd quarter.
2. Set different lineup in such situation. (either win by 25 points or lose by 25 points)
