So there are a few ways you get your bench to play more minutes.
- If your starters stamina is higher, then the starters will be subbed less. So take this into account.
- Gameshape will make your players better, and the coach will only sub players if they think the bench can perform better than a current starter, who's stamina level is affecting his game. (ie: He is tired, get bench player on gives the starter a rest).
- Set your bench guy to two bench positions, such as Sf/SG. He will play more minutes in general.
Hope this helps.
