You used the "use depth chart until fourth" coach setting. Using anything other than "strictly follow depth chart" can yield unpredictable minutes. It is a known bug which we be handled in the future.

I can understand "Unpredictable" minutes, but as you have said - it is a bug.

In addition, when your starter is not being on the opening five at the start of a game, and get the fewest minutes on that game comparing the entire roster.

As this bug had (luckily) only affected my players' GS, could you please just quick repair that for the time being [Meaning updating manually their GS to what it should have been]?

Thanks in advance

I'm sorry, but that's not possible. Sadly, the only thing I can do in this case is to advise not to use that coach setting until we fix the cause of the bug.

Sadly it is...
I was sure that manual operations for this kind of bugs where possible. I hope that I can fix this affect until playoff time.
Never mind...

From what you are saying - the coach settings is better not used altogether, as the result is unknown. Why not disabling it altogether, or using a note on the game setting (near that option) stating that?

We will consider putting a note there. We don't want to completely disable the option since beginners might not like losing it.

Why enabling a feature that is just not functioning well?
Beginners will just be pissed of when what I've faced will occur (if it was during a critical game or time, I wouldn't be so happy either).
Maybe that is needed to be reconsider.

We are adding some text in the game manual that will explain the use of those settings and the fact that only "Strictly Follow Depth Chart" should be used for training. The other settings are still usable, just not on games that you need fairly predictable minutes on.

You messed up your player links but I get what you're trying to say (your backup SG didn't play enough in your opinion). In this case, you lost and was losing the whole match. In those cases, no matter which strategy you choose, the coach will leave starters in longer. It's normal behavior, he's trying to win by fielding the best players. Also, I don't recommend using LCD in important games, you should use SFDC.

Maybe one day.... This is not a thread for such discussions though.

OK...
So, now I've used the "strictly follow depth chart" option as adviced, and still, although "Stanley Butts" had been defined as the only SG (Starter, Backup and Reserve), he had been sent to the bench when the garbage time started...

Here is the link:

Why didn't he stayed on court for all of the game?

Why not adding an option to the game tactics: "Win the game" VS "Training (starter?)", and making the coach act upon that?
