Hi,

Is there any way of getting a player 48 mins when the other team forfeits?

Thanks

Not in a single position.

hmm thought so. Very annoying. So even if I dress 5 players they will receive minutes in different positions adding up to 48?

Nope. I know there was a post somewhere that went into more detail than I have available at the moment. I know the breakdown is normally 36 minutes starter, 10 backup and 2 reserve. But playing as a starter and a backup loses 5 minutes. What is possible is a guy playing backup at two positions earning 10 minutes at each, but there's always going to be a loss of minutes any time a single player is a starter and backup.

The other stupid aspect of this is, as a side effect, it is quite possible to get a player more than 48 minutes in the game by having him backup multiple positions and start at one (or probably even 50 minutes for backing up all five positions without starting). And of course there's always the other caveat, that a blank lineup in a walkover gets all the players 0 minutes.

PG: A, B, A
SG: B, A, B
SF: C, C, C
PF: D, D, D
Centre: E, E, E

In that case, can my PG and SG (I mean players A and B) get 48 minutes? I am thinking of 2-position training (i.e. one-on-one / rebounding) if next game opponent had records of forfeit (51448).

BTW, how about injured players? Get 0 minutes or still get some minutes?

Thanks for your reply first. May I know how many minutes PG and SG will get in such pattern?

PG: A, B, A
SG: B, A, B

Player A: 36 mins + 2 mins = 38 mins from PG position ; 10 mins from SG position
Player B: 36 mins + 2 mins = 38 mins from SG position ; 10 mins from PG position

Or I should try the following pattern:
PG: A, B, C
SG: B, C, A
SF: C, A, B
Will players A, B and C get 48 minutes?

-/: PG SG SF PF C
A: 38 5 0 0 0
B: 5 38 0 0 0
C: 0 0 43 0 0
D: 0 0 0 43 0
E: 0 0 0 0 43

-/: PG SG SF
A: 36 2 5
B: 5 36 2
C: 2 5 36

If player is set as starter than every his backup slot is decreased from 10 to 5 minutes.

You can get 48 + 38 minutes for two positional training.

PG: A A A
SG: B A B

-/: PG SG
A: 43 5
B: 0 38

I believe BB king is correct: 48+38 is the best you can get in 2 position training.

Thanks for your advice. I went for 48+38, so train for PF and C.

PF was injured in the game, so he did not get 38 minutes. Furthermore, my opponent updated the line-up, so it's not a forfeit game. (85940801)

Surprised...
