When do the reserves come in to play? Is it only in injury and if the starting player gets fouled out? The reason I ask is because I'm training 2 position jump shot for the wingmen and so I'm trying to play as many players in those 2 positions as possible and so I want no backup so my starting player can play a full 48 minutes in one of those 2 positions so that way he gets full training. I figure this way I can train 6 players at 48+ minutes a week.
Is this a good way to do it or is there a better way?

Also I have a question about the PR manager. Some people have mentioned that they think the PR manager does basically nothing. Is this right? What are the benefits of having a PR manager? What level PR Managers do you guys have?

Cheers

What? of course you get foul outs in this game. If you dont care about winning games then that training method would work.

But, in playing only 5 players per game you do run the risk of getting fouled out and "lucky fan" finishing the game. unless your remaining players are far better then the opposition you possibly could lose.

i have level 6 PR, i think its pretty important. it helps with merchandising and attendance. i would suggest just getting the best pr manager you can afford.

Hey,
Sorry I think you misunderstood what I meant. I don't only play 5 players during a game. I train 2 positions only (this week I'm training Small Forward and Shooting Guard.). So I still have my starter, backup and reserve for the other 3 positions. And I still have a reserve put in place for the Small Forward and Shooting Guard incase my player gets fouled out. This way there is little to no risk of impacting my game play and so I can still try and win games.

Hope that makes sense.

Is there an easier/better way to train?
Cheers
