I would put both of them on the floor in FT shooting situation. In the real word you do not have to categorize who plays witch position. For example, Dirk constantly guards the opponent C's. Why, because they are usually crappyer scorers compared to PF's. He is not a great defender so this way he get's that foul protection.

Just as you had a reason to pick Stojakovic over someone who is undersized and with no inside skills, I had a reason to pick Nowitzki.

So if you can't pass to Dirk are going to let Dwight Howard or Shaq take those FT's? Your comparison is like: If you need a 3 pointer made, will you pick Ray Allen or Jason Kapono. You would pick one, I would pick both. If you need someone dunked on, will you pick Lebron or Shannon Brown (for whatever reason you need someone dunked on)? Obviously the beforementioned players are better overall. But if you need something specific you trade something on the floor for that. Just like with few seconds left in the game, you switch in your biggest player to limit the visibility for the inbounder (switching in Yao and putting him infrond of inbounding Kidd).
I'm sorry to say that with statements like "I've never seen a situational substitution" you show you actually never have played a basketball game on a decent level or even understand the game to have a discussion about it.

In todays' scrimmage I had a wrong starting formation.The players that I had chosen for replacements in positions 1-2-4 started the game and the starters stayed at the bench.As a result,I had a wrong time distribution.Is there anything to be done?

You need to play strictly follow depth chart, otherwise your coach could decide to change the starting 5 sometimes.

I think the my substitution pattern of strictly follow depth chart is actually depth chart until 4th because the trainee which I set to play one full game always got substitute out at the 4th quarter and never get to play at all for the 4th quarter, these is some of the game>(26629554), (26629536), (26629507)

Is it a bug or this is actually the way its suppose to works?

Please do notify me if there is any changes made as I'm trying to have all 3 of my trainee to get full training minutes per week, as for now I'm trying other substitution pattern to get a better result.

I'm trying to have all 3 of my trainee to get full training every week, but the trainee which I set to play a full game for the 1st game of the week always sub out of the game at 4th quarter which ruin the training minutes that I'm trying to alllocate, therefore instead of getting full training minutes for all 3 of my trainee, only 2 of them manage to get full training minutes.

I mean what I set is strictly follow depth chart...but it looks like it is depth chart until 4th, I didn't set depth chart until 4th before.

Ya I actually did set only 9 players for every match, and I place the 48 guy as starter, backup, and also reserve, does it mean that my problem will be solved if I leave the reserve slot empty?

Are you using let them play and assigning the bench players to specific sub slots? In end game situations (close games) these can still be overruled by the coach. Or you have 0 stamina on one of the trainees:D

Yes I'm using let them play so that my trainee won't be sub out because of 4 or 5 foul, if can I wan't him to get as many minutes as possible, as for my sub slot, I place my trainee as C for starter, backup, and reserve, and 8 different player in the remaining starter and backup, and empty for the reserve except C which is filled by the trainee.

And my trainee is with level 5 stamina.
