An other idea coming from the NBA, is that i know that lots of players are having fixed minutes. Its a possible to have the option to give a player a certain amount of minutes?

I don't think you can make a change where you can pick a certain quarter to rest players since you don't know what the situation will be in the game. And it takes away the coaches ability to "win the game" (as Herm Edwards would say).

If you are talking about scrimmages, I think something could be done to help manage minutes a little more. Maybe check certain players to let the GE give them more minutes. But I would only suggest it for scrimmages.

My 2 cents....

I don't think it is a good idea to make it easy to get a specific number of or an optimal number of minutes. To me that takes away from the challenge. I do not want a game where I can say "player A gets 62 minutes this week because that is the optimal minutes per week for game shape." I think that is lame.

If you want a player to get a lot of minutes, there are ways of doing that. Set him as starter backup and third string and have the coach strictly follow depth chart. Unles he fouls out, he'll get 48 minutes.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

i have another thread open on this when everyones saying the opposite.

"In summary: yes, getting 48 minutes in a single game is not 100% guaranteed, and this is by design."
said by another gm about exactly what your saying

I will amend my statement and say that, for me, this has always worked. Whether it is guaranteed or not I do not know, and if someone has an example of this not working I would love to see it. I am not saying the other GM is wrong. I could very easily be wrong. But, it has always worked for me when I was trying to get a guy 48 minutes.
