Hi,
during today's match(39525125), I decide to use my player Mena as Starter, Backup and Reserve in SG position, to train him. He fouled out after 31-32 minutes. On the bench I had 4 players:
- a Center, 30k salary
- a PF, 11k salary, JS=8, JR=3, OD=4, so not that good as SG...
- a SG, 11k salary
- a PG, 6k salary
The SG was not used in any position, while the others were used as backup or reserves in their own position.
Now, I'd like the coach to choose to use only, or at least mainly the SG, even because he was the only one who had not to play elsewhere in tactics I choose; I could even accept the PG there. But the result is:
PF: used as SG for 9 minutes
PG: 4 minutes
SG: 4 minutes
C: some second, before being broken while he was playing as SG :(
I think my "backup" SG should have played at least the 70-80% of the time (but I think he should have played there all the remaining minutes), not just 4 of 17 minutes.
(Tactic used :Strict follow Depth Chart)
The thing is that it is not reasonable to expect the coach to pick upon "Best Position", as this is by definition only a recomendation.
Choosing as SG a center or a PF is much less reasonable, I think. :(
My coach should be wise enough to choose a player whose position is equal (or as similar as possible) to the one I need, once he can't follow my direction like in this case.
The GE could consider the player's position and salary, or even a weighed sum of his skill, in order to choose the best player available, not a random player.
I' d probably have lost this match anyhow. I'm suggesting this just for future situations.
