im saying the problem would still exist if you did strict depth chart.. because even in strict depth chart the coach considers the fitness/skill of the players some.. and the gap in skill between JD and TL is so large that the coach can't bear to put JD in over TL. We need to figure some other way to have the coach follow your orders.. we cant have him ignore skills because sometimes things happen that the DC can't account for... and he needs to make a tradeoff between players who are in the depth chart at multiple spots.. anyway...

(10349263) Orders: Strictly follow depth chart...

V.Katzarsky (Center) set as starter at SG position. T.Lindner as backup.

Result: V.K. played 33 min / T.L. played 15 min.

(10349266) Orders: Depth chart until 4th...

V.Katzarsky set as starter at SG and T.L. as backup.
The match starts with T.L. as starter...

Result: V.K. played 10 min at SG / T.L. played 38 min.

-------
If I understood well your working hypothesis, these two matches are telling that it was not right. When using "strictly follow...", my line-up was pretty well respected by the trainer in spite of the obvious better skills of T.L. When "Depth chart until 4th..." was set, the "bug" appears.

I hope it helps.

I think the same thing happens to me.

Today, in the friendly match (10655729), I choose my best player, Manolo Villa Fernández (2229641) a former small forward of the spanish NT, to start in the bench as a power forward, because he played 48 minutes in the last match.

To fill up a better training I take a not too much young PG, José Gurruchaga (3005901) (that I don't want to train this week) in the starting five as power forward.

Obviously, the first player is much better than the second one, so in spite of playing with "Depth chart until 4th...", my coach decided to start with Manolo.

Result: my best player is now injuried for two weeks.

Very unlucky but maybe it could be avoid if my own decission were more respected by the coach.

And maybe I'm mistaken but I though that the injuried players appeared in red in the summary during the match but the name of Manolo never changed to red. It's that correct?

In other cases I have suffered similar "unexpected changes" always playing with "Depth chart until 4th" so for me it's very clear that there is a bug around this substitution mode.

Hi,
2 games in a row, with wrong line-up.
1st time (11510137), maybe he forgot. I talk with him by msn.
2nd time (11510145), even i help him to make the line-up and stragedy. He reviewed it 3 times, and now he has the same line-up of the previous match.

I think there's a problem here.

Greetings

posted this in a new thread but it should be here instead so I'll repost it:

Apologies if this has been posted here already but I can't see it.

In my last game (10686155) the box reads that I payed crunch time. While I realize it is possible I made the mistake I am fairly positive I played TIE. Furthermore the results of the game do not look like the expected results of a game in which I CT'd but he TIE'd.

Considering the possibility that I made a mistake I would like to know if this is being reported by anyone else.

If not then I guess it must have been me, but I can't even remember my last CT during the regular season.

I can't figure out why my set starters didn't start today. I'm sure it happened today, and think it has happened for my other cup games. It's really messing with my players enthusiasm...and mine.

My lineup wasn't the one I want in my last game (10727415) and so I loose my match......
I BB-mail BB-Charles to send all information.

im sure i played a starter bad but young to train


and his sub a very good player



and when the game began the good player was starter and the sub never played

Hi, I have the following problem: in the last game, the player Jose Amenábar, who was called as main player - reviewing the alignment of the party - was not named as main player, and Raul Gebhard being called but i called Raul for the bench...

I expect a response cause it affects seriously my weekly train and shape for Raul... ( Raul played 89 minutes this week, and seriusly, it´s too much )

Please check it, because when i check the last game ( the inmortals vs san felipe drinkers the main player is Jose Amenábar and the backup is Raul, and when the match stars is Raul the main player.

look:

something is very wrong with "Depth Chart until 4th" now, for 2 or 3 games when i played this tactic now, players don`t substitute like they should, in example in today`s game my PG played all 48min, even there was backup player too, and others players don`t substitute like they did last season :(

and today i played game and set to "strictly follow depth chart", i put my SF in center position, and my C as backup in center position, and my center did play just 5 minutes!!!

PLZZZ BB HELP!!!! i need this to be changed back like it was some time ago, or atleast like it should be, because my roster is weaker than most of teams in my league, and there are little chances for me if tactics dont work like they should... :(

p.s.
please someone give a link to BB post in this matter, if there are one...

This might have been brought up before, not sure.

Twice now, I've set a lineup with 9 players in the orders and only 9 players available. I set the PG to have no backups or reserves, and set 4 backups for the other 4 positions.

Then I set the tactics to "strictly follow depth chart" and "let them play" for fouls.

For some reason the GE/coach subs in another player for the PG in the 4th (during blowout mins).

(10657690). PG Ascariz gets subbed out with :40 to go for Verseck, the starting SF that wasn't listed anywhere else in the orders.

(10657666) PG Cassado gets subbed out w/ 1:40 left in the 3rd qtr for a backup shooting guard.

I run this formation every game and all the other times it works. This was not an issue caused by fouling out or getting injured either.

One weird thing I've noticed is if I go to set the next game and choose one of these games from "former matches" drop down, I see that it has a player listed as backup at PG, while I'm 100% certain that I didn't set a player at backup.

To confirm that this is a bug:

If I had set a player at backup, why would they only come in after 47:20 or 34:20 of play? Only in the case of an injury or fouling out, which is not the case.
