As I already said in the other thread, the game actively looks to make it difficult to have a player on court for the whole duration of a game.

It's a balance issue with training.

If you don't want him to miss minutes for training, start him in 2 games a week.
If you want maximum training for a maximum number of trainees, you will not always achieve it as the game will try to stop you from doing it.

You have to factor the risk if you choose to do the latter. Many experienced users will have 2 main trainees if they do single-position training and a spare less important one for spare minutes, 4 main trainees for two-positions training and 2 spare ones, one of which can get 48 minutes almost every time with optimal management.

The balance issue is that training and selling trainees shouldn't be the only path for success.

All this is a perception of a single user (and others) for the game.
The same as my perception is that it is OK to have a player for 48 minutes on the floor, for a single game.

What you wrote here does not explain why users thinks that the depth-chart means something else, and surely it does not explains why shouldn't it be part of the game-manual (not what you need for getting 48 minutes per player, but what will happen in case of using a single player for SB&R for a single position).

All this ? Only the balance issue is an opinion.

It's ok to have a player for 48 minutes on the court. Where did I say it was not ? I do it.
If you can't understand what we are talking about, we can't discuss.

Let's go one by one...

As I already said in the other thread, the game actively looks to make it difficult to have a player on court for the whole duration of a game.
It's a balance issue with training.
Where does it says that this is one of the game targets? => This is an opinion.

If you don't want him to miss minutes for training, start him in 2 games a week.
If you want maximum training for a maximum number of trainees, you will not always achieve it as the game will try to stop you from doing it.
This is not related to the topic - "coach decision" => hence not relevant to our discussion. It is just what you suggest to do, and not what happens or what should happen.

You have to factor the risk if you choose to do the latter. Many experienced users will have 2 main trainees if they do single-position training and a spare less important one for spare minutes, 4 main trainees for two-positions training and 2 spare ones, one of which can get 48 minutes almost every time with optimal management.
Like the previous - this is only what you suggest doing for achieving training time.

The balance issue is that training and selling trainees shouldn't be the only path for success.
A statement that again is not relevant to the discussion, hence not a claim.

It's ok to have a player for 48 minutes on the court. Where did I say it was not ? I do it.
On previous thread (at the Bugs folder) you called it an abuse. Or are you returning back from this claim?

How looks the game manual is totally wanted by the BBs, not GMs or old users, but the BBs. They said many times it was volunyarily unclear. It's the same about the difficulty (not so difficult if you follow instructions) to get 48 minutes in one game for a player.
Two sentences with no connection between them.

The BBs wants things to be unclear are related to things that needs to be explored.
They want the game manual to be clear, as this game is needed to be played.
Saying that the "48 minutes for a single player on a single game" is something that they want to keep unclear is guessing. At best...

If they intended it to be unclear, they can write it down as well at the manual page - "Using any tactic or/and setting any lineup, may not lead to a player playing full 48 minutes on that game."

There is a huge gap and difference between game-manual, and game walk-through.
This is definitely a game-manual information, as it caused users to find the game acting the opposite then what it was expected upon the manual.

Can you please post these instructions that works 100% time? I didn't find them. Because of that I'm making this suggestion. BB may or may not accept this.

Official guide contains only basic information. More detailed guide is guide from RIP, but he clearly state that

"There will certainly be a lot of factual information in it but there will also be a lot of opinion based segments that are based on my own, and others, experience in this game".

Maybe he was not familiar with the fact that GE wants to make training on single position with 3 player harder than usual. He can correct that if he wants. That is on him.

The fact is that I don't like this behavior from GE and I suggest that BB change it.

You need to separate it into two separate requests. Both are important, and I support them both.

1) A new user will expect that when setting a single player to play both as Starter, Backup and Reserve on a single position, and will be available to play will actually ... be on court.
Due to that, at least an explanation what is true and what is not regarding this basic expectation needs to be displayed at the information page.

2) I do think that using this settings is enough for making that player playing 48 minutes (unless injured, etc.).

Nitpicking as a pastime.

Yes, the bit about the balance issue is an opinion.

What follows explains the choices we face, I am only trying to help bazingaaa with his training so that hopefully he manages to get some satisfaction from it. Training is not only a source of frustration and can be a very rewarding part of the game. I don't know why you want to call my help a perception.
What help do you offer ? You have only hijacked the thread for your latest fad.

Yes, it's an abuse of the system. I am not taking it back.
