I usually start the same 5 players for the first two (league) games, then make up minutes for their subs during the scrimmage. But now I'm trying to focus a lot on single position training. I try to get 48 minutes in a single position, then let them sub in another position to get close to 60 for their game shape.
I was only complaining because my tactics weren't followed when there was no foul trouble and it wasn't a (major) blowout. Even a blowout should still give them 48 because of my tactics, but alas, this is not reality.

I think I figured it out. There was some minor foul trouble with my players (4th foul late in the game) and I set tactics to sit them. I had it that way because I wanted my non trainees to balance 65-75 minutes per week. I was afraid they would go over and ruin gameshape. I rarely have players go below Strong gameshape and when it happens it's only one player at a time.

Yeah, I wish some tactics could be customized just a little more:

-Define "foul trouble" - If I want a guy to get 48 minutes, I want him playing with 5 fouls. I have had them subbed out.

-Define "garbage time" and when I want my team to start chucking 3s out of desperation. I still want my starting 5 in even if I'm up 50, 60 or 100 points. I also can stomach being down 9 points with 1:30 to go, and still want my team working the ball in if that's going to get us the best % look.

I also wish we could customize the coach's tactics a bit more. I agree with the no subs, no excuses rule. There are some other things too but I can't remember them right now.
This week I had 1 player get 47 minutes and the other two right at 48. This is also the first time that all my trainees got a skill pop in the skill I am training. I have had 5 skill pops between 3 players but at least one of them didn't get a boost in the skill being trained.

W00t! Iron shield achievement! I held a team to 0 points in the 4th quarter. I used full court press to take advantage of poor handling, passing, and stamina of a computerized team.

Because of substitutions I didn't ask for my minutes are messed up this week. I have one player at 67 minutes at PG and the other two under 48. The first game subbed when I didn't want subs and I was scrambling the rest of the week to make up for it. My whole team has messed up minutes now with 4 at 80+ and 4 under 60. The rest are ok.
Buzzer beater staff needs to fix this issue and I'm trying to find some posts on the issue.

Going through a rebuilding phase, so selling off a bunch of my busted projects. Gonna focus on developing the guards i have, use the money to get me a couple of decent bigs.

Well I won the league championship so I guess I'll be moving out soon. I didn't expect to win this season but I figured I'd have a good chance next season. I started out and spent all of my seasons here in IV20 and I'm going to miss it. I mean, it's league 420 lol.
Good luck guys and have fun.

Congrats and GL at the next level, man!

I'll be paying more attention to my team this season, although I'll be probably not very active for at least a segment of it late October through first half of November.
