I'm trying to get my SF and PF 48 minutes a game by putting them in their positions as starters, backups and reserves . The rest of my starting five have different backups which I also put in the reserve slots. For some reason, every time I get 48 minutes for the SF but the PF is substituted. What am I doing wrong?

How many total players do you have dressed/active for the game day, and are you winning by more than 20 points entering the 4Q? Is the PF 27 years old or older?

When is the team Nutritionist's effect calculated? Is it once a week in the Friday training update or does it affect multiple times throughout the week?

What drives arena attendance in your National Tournament (Cup) home games? Here I'm asking about the number of "occupied" seats, not the revenue. Is it the same factors as with the League home games? Can you use it as a hint to adjust your seat prices for your next league home game accordingly?

A player who is 27 years old or older is subject to exhaustion penalty in the 4Q if he isn't substituted sufficiently in the first 3Q. Once exhaustion hits, the coach will begin substituting the player regardless of depth chart, almost like he's injured (and then when he recovers enough stamina to clear the penalty he can come back in but will quickly deplete again and get subbed back out, etc etc)

I often lose by many points in the last round, (4. period) what am I doing wrong? Something with the tactics?

Usually one of two things or a combination of the two.

1) If you were winning by a lot near the end of the 3rd then the game will declare "garbage time" and your backups come in. If your backups are significantly lower in talent than your starters then this can make a drastic difference to your performance!

2) If you have an old team, you'll see events (any player 27 or older can get these) where it says "Player X is looking exhausted out there" if they have been playing too many minutes. Their individual performance can also go down by a lot.

General poor stamina throughout the team can do some of this too but the effect isn't usually as noticable as the above.

ok, thanks for the answer, yes that's probably a combination I can think of. So if I were to do something with the first one you mentioned, what should I try?
set with, for example, 4 first players and 2 second players?
