I would also add that garbage time should sometimes apply to the losing team as well.

Take my game yesterday (125820428) (cup game, so don't care about point differential).

After 3 quarters, I was up by 40 points, so I went in garbage time, and played all subs in the 4th quarter. My opponent played his starters till the end.
Even though the 4th quarter finished 31-6 in his favor, he still lost by 15 points (and was down by 20 with 1 minute left, so it was never remotely close).

I would imagine that if one of his starters had gone down with an injury for staying in a game that was completely done, he wouldn't have been all that happy.

Probably the garbage time threshold for the losing team should be a bit higher than the one for the winning team (+20 afer 3 quarters), but if you are down by 40 at the end of the 3rd, or by 25ish with 5 or 6 minutes to play, game's over folks...

As a team manager, I always want to fire my coach.



I need a more controllable and intelligent team coach.



Training, form, net points, rankings, injuries, and many other factors are closely related to playing time, but playing time is an uncontrollable factor. This matter makes me feel hopeless. %}

In my opinion garbage time should be fully in the control of the manager. It could either be tied to the intensity setting or maybe as a different setting completely, like "allow coach to play garbage time".

I've opened two threads suggesting such a thing but both of them went down the drain T_T
