It's looking like you'll be 7/8. Pretty good picks (though I didn't expect your game vs. Ice to be a blow out in his favor, you may have had inside information :P).


I also didn't expect that. Not complaining, mind.

And a big shout-out to my coach, who played my starting PG trainee for a whopping 14 minutes in my Cup game.

A good trainee tactic is to use the substitution pattern "strictly follow the depth chart" and to not give him a backup. You will generally get a full 48 minutes unless there is foul trouble using that combo. If you do "coach picks from depth chart" or if as it looks like the backup is much better than the starter the coach will usually leave the guy on the bench.

I generally have good training minutes by using SFDC in every game unless it's a truly crucial game.

I figured the backup would only get significant minutes in LCD mode (I played "depth chart til 4th" b/c I was playing with a bunch of scrubs and always get nervous that I'll lose), but I guess not. I had a good player as a backup only because he still needed like 8 minutes to get to 48. Unfortunately he somehow played 15 of 24 minutes in the first half, and then in the blowout he played almost exclusively in the 2nd half. Bully on me.
