Sometimes, blowouts help :)

You could have avoided losing minutes for your trainee by removing, I guess it was Khuntsaria, from the selected players.

Kalmar subbed Kosir as SF. Sabanci subbed Gutierrez Gasset as PF.
Khuntsaria was left as a reserve for these two positions. The AI coach is designed to bench starters in this game situation, he uses reserves if necessary, he tried to make the most sensible substitution and since Khuntsaria is listed as SG...

Never have a reserve only player if you plan 48 minutes for a trainee, golden rule !

I think something are wrong in my scrimmage. I am certain that I set my lineup for todays scrimmage, and yet it uses different players than I ordered. The setup that is used in todays match makes asolutely no sense. So GS and training will be seriously messed up... very unhappy about this. If a BB could check what went wrong I'd appreciate it.

It also says in weekly stats:

"Weekly Player Statistics: Week 5/28/2011 - 6/3/2011
None of your players has played a game yet this week.
Weekly Minute Breakdown: Week 5/28/2011 - 6/3/2011
None of your players has played a game yet this week."

I am quite certain that I have had two league games within the week stated:
"5/28/2011 7:05:00 PM 6 Oslo West Pomeranians 119 - 110 (Replay) 3 Shapeshifters
5/31/2011 7:05:00 PM 8 Northern Dragons 55 - 139 (Replay) 5 Oslo West Pomeranians TV"

Awaiting reply...

As long as your game is running your weekly minutes disappear. Just wait for the end of the game and you should be able to see them.

Thank you for your answer. Still, my problem with faulty setup are present.

Weekly Minute Breakdown: Week 5/28/2011 - 6/3/2011
Total Minutes
Kosimo Anschütz 64
Artur Queirós 62
Thor Harry Sørvær 55
Aliou Diame 53
Gáspár Káposzta 48
Tore Tang Ellefsen 48
Michal Javornický 43
Herman Botnen 41
Hans Holm 34
Erik Bakketun 32

I had this open in another window from when I set my lineup. I have two scrubs that I only use for lineup, and I set
PG: Ellefsen
SG: Javornicky - Botnen
SF: Bakketun - Holm
PF: Hustad (possibly Huwiq)
C: Huwiq (possibly Hustad)

I don't care if I would have lost the game, but I do care that my setup is beeing ignored, thus messing up both GS and training, and probably enthusiasm as well.

(32959926)

I wasn't able to double check as I set my lineup (and I set it as my default lineup) in about 15 minutes as I was getting ready to head out for the night. I come back and I've been handed a walkover. Now, I KNOW I had players registered in the spots. And I know the system registered some part of my change, because my previous default lineup had sf guarding pf and pf guarding sf. So it recognized that 1 switch.

But then it put in 1 of the 2 players that I wasn't going to be using (because of his GS of 6) as the only player in my lineup and I lost in a walkover. Obviously because of my record and PD it shouldn't matter in the long run, but if somehow i get screwed over in the playoffs I want my 22-0 record and a massive PD to back me up so I promote.

This would have PROBABLY been fixed had I had time to double check. But I didn't. (Also I set it roughly 6 hours before tipoff, so it wasn't last minute)

Hello,

I think I had a bug last Saturday. The line-ups I setted was differnt from one that has played.
I don't remember that it was but surely I didn't set the third pg as starting centre, the secondary SF as starting pg, the starting pg as starting PF, and starting center as starting SF.
Only SG position was right.
What's happened?

Thanks

In my last game, a scrimmage, I set Chatzikapatanis as starter at PF, with Tselekis as backup and reserve. When I use load former match tactics it confirms that I have done this (I am pretty certain anyway - set lineup a couple of hours before kickoff.) I think I used depth chart until 4th which is my usual setting. What actually happened was that Tselekis played 48 at PF, meaning he has 92 for the week, and a probable game shape drop incoming. I would appreciate if this could be changed as I am certain I didn't set him to play all of those minutes.
Thanks :)

I have a similar problem as poster above.
In my today's scrimmage (35711849), my small forward, M. Alfaro (9210286) - intended to play as shooting guard substitute in this game - started in place of my assigned starter in that position, J. Whipple (19246479).
And not only that he started, but he played forty-three (43) minutes there, continuing to play even in blowout time(!) thus giving to originally assigned shooting guard only five (5) minutes of playing time.

FACT 1 - Being assigned as substitute, M. Alfaro should have NEVER start that game.
FACT 2 - Being assigned as starter, J. Whipple SHOULD have start the game.
FACT 3 - And lastly, considering that the game ended as blowout, even if he had been assigned to start - which he clearly was NOT - M. Alfaro should HAVE NOT play forty-three (43) minutes in that game, or in other words, considering the circumstances, he should have sit down for AT LEAST last twelve (12) minutes of the game.

As a result, my training for this week is ruined. AND my player played hundred and eighteen (118) minutes this week, meaning that his game shape for the next week is... well, I suppose there is no need for me to finish this sentence; I believe is crystal clear what is going to happen to his game shape later on tonight.

Oh yeah, and just as poster above, I double-checked my settings immediately after the game, and got confirmation that I set everything right.

I have posted on this forum numerous times in the past and never got any real help, but I still have fate that BB will do something about this. Considering that this is just a scrimmage with no other importance but creating playing tome for our trainees, I believe that repeating this game WITH proper lineups should be warranted in this particular case, and I can't see how anyone with right mind could find that to be improper.
I understand that doing so is a hustle for BB, but that should not stop anyone from doing the right thing.

Thank you.

I have one question. Two, actually.
First one is, does anyone form BB even read these posts anymore?
And second one is, does anyone even care about any of our complains?
I can live with fact that you can't help us - I'm not happy about it, but I can live with that - but to not even acknowledge our complains - and may I say, most of the time they are perfectly reasonable - well, that is just rude.
By the way, why do have this forum? Oops, that would be my third question, and I said I'll ask only two.
Oh well, thank you. Thank you very much for letting me report my problem. I suppose that is something, too.
I suppose I have no other choice but to either deal with this or simply just quit the game. That is just great. Good job, guys. Happy 4th of July.
