First, the substitution tactics don't work properly since most of them are bugged, while "strictly follow depth chart" isn't. That's why I suggest always using that one if you want predictable minutes at predictable positions. We are aware of the issue and will fix it once we have a way to do so. We still have other substitution tactics for new users' sake, since new players would miss them if we disabled the option.

Wow, that was news to me! I appreciate your honesty, but how can new users miss something that they know nothing of? I think you mean to say new users will find the game limited and won't wanna play it.
But, that is lying to new users. GE in BB is very advanced in terms of representing a real game compared to other sport web games, because it stays true in recreating a real game experience (apart from excessive defensive attempts to catch the ball going out of bounds after a missed shot :) ). So, it's a shame when you find something's there just for the show.
You know best how you want your forum to look, but I believe long threads with different issues are not as efficient, because people do not read them through and just make the same points over and over.
I'm not mad, I won that game mainly because of the bug. I was just seeking the info I got, thank you!

I was thinking the same thing. I just need to figure out what to put in the message.

not so easy, i have trouble with "depth chart until 4th" since you would expect that it act like strictly follow the first 3 quarter and i doubt you want a message where you write that it is a bug especially since you don't know when it get fixed and it might stand there for a long time. Maybe renaming this function might be a solution, especially since the current name is quite confusing.(so people who like the behaviour with this option still can play it)

Else the message is quite easy, you just need to mention that the coach might change the (starting) lineup after his wishes.

I don't know if it is already on your to-do-list, for the game engine but maybe the starter tag could be assigned at the coach lineup and not the setting of the lineup page. For example if your coach put in your backup as a starter(might be still possible with coach decide in future), the starting backup will still be considered as a backup for the blowout substitutions. You also see it when you play coach decide with a blank lineup, that your S5 play in the fourth quarter of blowout games.
