I agree that empty lineups seem to work really well because of the facts you just presented. My point is just that I'd like to be the one making the decisions about which player plays at which position and how much. And to make it fair for everybody no one should have the chance to let "autopilot" do it.
If we think BB-managers literally as managers of their team, then I guess it isn't our business to mess with the playing times (compared to real life bball). IMO that is still an interesting and fun part of the game that should be stressed a little more. And it's not like we didn't already interfere with coatches' job on other areas of the game (compared to real life again).

You guys forgot that this is not a thread for this discussion: we are not trying to decide whether this will be implemented or not - that decision has been made a couple of seasons ago. Please read the first post and keep on topic or I'll be forced to do some cleaning.

And now a formal request to all the teams that are testing the code: please set partial lineups with least 2 or 3 blank spots. Or try a combination of your own so that we can see what happens in a wider variety of cases, just don't set a full blank lineup please. Thanks and yes, I am aware that this is pretty late (with the games running tomorrow) so most users won't see this message on time. Hopefully, some will.

EDIT: Why do I request this? Because I've made one final adjustment to the code making it work even if just one starter is missing, filling the missing positions and keeping the ones that have been set.

(78572834), LCD, let them play:

MacKechnie was set as PG, Sutherland as SG, they were set as starter only. The other positions and spots were blank. Both players played 36 minutes.

As MacKechnie is a Center he played as starting Center in previous matches with a full blank lineup. I'm ok with Sutherland playing SG.

Another player made me wonder even more: Penkov played as backup PF. He's listed as SF and I have some other Centers I'd rather play at PF than him. In the previous matches with full blank lineup he played as SF. His skills are: JS / JR / OD...: 8 / 7 / 7 / 5 / 6 / 2 / 5 / 8 / 10 / 2

I set:
PG - Mieńko - Weitong - Weitong
SG - blank - blank - blank
SF - Zawada - blank- blank
PF - Hardin - Ivanov - Ivanov
C - blank - Sedinkin - Sedinkin
Moscoso only 3 minutes in the best shape (my best PF/C), Huk and Yitzchaki 0 min....

I didn't see your message on time so I set empty line-up in both games. And the results are really strange, imo. It has been very different than the previous tests.

1. (78509705)

I put only 9 players but I really don't understand why the subs didn't play more.

2. (78550039)

I put 11 players. I wouldn't have set Flores as starter but maybe for the GE he has been the best choice. From what I saw during the live, I had 3 players at 35 minutes after 3 quarters. Subs played a little more during the garbage time.

Thanks guys for the testing. Looks like that last change was too much. I guess we need to fall back to what was working and implement that. Hopefully, it will work well in league matches too.

We still have one final private league match to test before the next season, however, I'll implement the new code from now on, so scrimmages will run with it too, which means that managers that would like that, can test even on scrimmages. Good luck with your drafts!

As the head of the team I wish there was an option where I can set the exact number of min a player plays. if I want my c to play 25 sg 40 and so on. if they foul out then my back up plays the rest obviously.
