I'd like 11 players on my team to get at least some playing time each game... is that possible? What do I do with my tactics?
In my last game: http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/17920673/boxscore.aspx 4 players didn't get playing time...

Thanks for the help! :)

edit: I've been using depth chart until 4th in my tactics

How did you set your lineup?

If you choose 5 starting players and 5 backups that were different to the starting players then all 10 players should automatically play at least some of the game. Obviously the starters would play more time than the backups unless fouled out or injured. I think the only way you could get 11 to play is if you put your 11th player as a reserve and your starter or backup got injured or fouled out. Don't know any other way sorry.

Out of curiosity why do you want 11 players to get playing time?

Hope that helps.

Oh ok thanks! I have 11 younger players with allstar+ potential and I wasn't really sure who I wanted to focus on training yet...

haha no worries. Well I'm new myself and I've just been training my guys to try and get everything to at least a level 5 (Mediocre) in all stats. Then I'm going to try and work on specific stats. But everyone does it different. :)

train young players ( 18-19 or 20 yo ) and only 2 positions max for a while...dont change training between guards and forwards!

best regards!

I agree. Rosters come way too full of guys that look like the Collins twins and cutting them saves money! You should probably focus training on 4 or 5 guys, no more than 2 pos training, to get them to improve. And like our GM said, a guy with less than 3000 in salary will take too long to be any sort of help for your team. I myself only consider players with salaries above 4000 :P
