On my 2 last games, I set a line-up and used LCD.

Comment: The SF sub was not a good player so the coach choosed to use Diankha or Kalnius as SF during money time. I appreciated it.

LCD and blank lineup (78439728)
Weitong S5 only 24 min.... stamina low.

I played my both games LCD and BLU.

I don't understand why Kardzis played SF sub and Renaudet C sub. I actually would have set Renaudet SF, Kardzis PF and Van de Corput C. Notice that I bought Kardzis recently so he didn't play in my previous tests.
Everything else is positive, imo.

Everything has been logical. I still don't understand why my player Said made only 1-16 but that's another question.

Ok guys, thanks again for all the effort. I'm sorry I couldn't check in here more often, but you know how this time of year gets, I'm human too

I'll comment only on the problematic reports:

LCD and blank lineup.
Well, i had 7 players on that match.Weird thing is that my best center hasnt entered game till the end.I checked GS, coz it might be a reason, and realized that (18910920) was in 9, not to mention that he has higher wage and better skills, and (18148427) was in 8.
I really dont have a clue why Grganovic took 48mins over Shek.
Day after that i played same thing in league match and everything was perfect (75963892).
Keep in mind that play both times same offensive and defensive tactics, so that couldnt be a reason.

@LA-Saur0n: Seems like you did set a lineup (starters and backups). Sorry. The day after had a blank lineup.

@brambauti regarding posts (259887.205) and (259887.208): Try to remember that during testing I did change the number of needed players for the BL prevention code to work; here's an excerpt from this post of mine (259887.191): "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. ". This means that the lineup didn't qualify for the BL prevention code. It was ran with the old GE code which doesn't guarantee anything (and results in place switching etc...). This may be a problem and I'll think about the solution. One solution might be to adapt the code to fill all the blank positions no matter how many of them are there, and keep the ones that have been already set.

I don't understand why Kardzis played SF sub and Renaudet C sub. I actually would have set Renaudet SF, Kardzis PF and Van de Corput C. Notice that I bought Kardzis recently so he didn't play in my previous tests.
Everything else is positive, imo.

@philoumiha: you have so many similar players it's hard for the code to choose the exactly best match for every position. I don't think the choice was bad enough to warrant any changes in the code.

Chances are high that we will be implementing the new code starting next season.

So, are we eliminating the empty lineup in Season 30 or not? I sure hope not

FWIW, I've been filling my depth chart in private league games (LCD) & there is a dramatic drop-off in performance. The coach just doesn't know how to decide wisely, letting 1st stringers get way too many minutes.

To clarify, I'm using the word "dramatic" to mean 5% - 10%

I hope empty-lineups were banned from the game because it eliminates the fun of figuring out the most effective lineups yourself, handing that job over to the bot-coatch. Or then the coatches should be made stupider so that empty-boxing and LCD wouldnt work so well.

Also my opinion ...
