Is there no way to manually set the minutes to be played for our roster players? In my opinion, it's very random and you don't really know how many minutes they will actually play. You could also set a minimum number of players on the roster, for example 10, which would guarantee at least an equal amount of playing time for everyone.

They should implement 2 training a week and get rid short roster penalties. A lot this. Is confusing with so little information to go. On. One person experience can t be everyone’s .

I'll be quite busy in the next few days, so I'm just giving a quick reply to part of the content first.

Everyone might feel differently.
Recently, Azariah responded to an article about playing time distribution (329001.2), which may or may not help you, but could be worth a look.

I want to share another observation.

If garbage time is disabled in both regular games and a player starts both games (with Follow Depth Chart),
his total weekly minutes won't be optimal — it might be acceptable, or just barely within the acceptable range.
In other words, without garbage time interfering, this would be the normal situation.
I find this quite interesting, as if BB designed it intentionally.
I guess BB might be trying to simulate the fact that, in real life, very few players start every single regular game throughout a whole season.
