yes, if you know that opponent is gonna suffer technical loss, then minute distribution is simplier.
Starter slot - 36 min
Backup - 10 min
Reserve - 2 min

So stacking ur trainee in all 3 slots for position in which u train would give 48 min. This is only against forfeiting opponents

Thank you for confirming this. I don't think I'll experience that in the league games this seasons, though in Scrimmages it can happen with some opponents who forgot to set a lineup. So even if I did a bad scouting and book a scrimmage vs opponent who tends to forget to set a lineup I can mitigate this.

So I had this match a few games ago, that really raised my eyebrows. I lost the game, and when I checked the box score, I noticed his point guard, who's salary is around $22,000, went of for 49 points against my best player, who is a $90,000 point guard, with a legendary+1 outside defense. Upon closer examination, I realized that this $22,000 guard who went off on my best defender, is mostly played at power forward. I wondered how this player with a salary that was so low went off like he did, when I then realized this must be some kind of matchup thing. I checked his offensive tactics and he played patient. So he didn't have a offense that was geared to go for inside, while starting his power forward at point guard, but it was still very effective. Can someone explain how this works? Like when to do this kind of thing; when to play a center or power forward at one of the guard positions or vice versa? Like what are the necessary pre requisites for this type of strategy? Thanks!

I play against a top 4 team in one home game winning and then the 5th ranked team the next home game. I changed my price by $1 for the bleachers in between the two games.

I experienced a 2856 seat drop in bleacher sales despite it being only a $1 increase in ticket price, still against a decent team being the 5th ranked which may not be great but isn't bad either, and supposedly strong current fan support on whats been a strong season up to this point.

Am i crazy or is that not an abnormally large drop in ticket sales despite such a small change, literally the lowest increment you can raise the price post all-star break in whats been a strong season?

That is almost 3000 empty seats when everything from my understanding points to a better outcome than such a significant drop like that.

Wozzvt's theorized relationship between ticket price changes and attendance change is that %chg(P) ^ (-1.5) = %chg(A)

So an 11.1% increase in prices would be projected to a 14.5% decrease in attendnace, all else equal. And then you have a substantially weaker opponent (~$255k salaries vs ~$382k) and that doesn't seem like a totally crazy drop off to me.

The Rogues who were my last home opponent before this game were a 100% sell out in the Bleachers despite being a team with a lower overall salary than tonight's opponent.

Rogues salary $233,415 sitting in top 4 going into that match-up vs Saint Ansgar $257,255 sitting in 5th going into tonight's match-up

From a salary standpoint tonight's opponent was better, my fan survey coming into this game was also better than before that Rogue match-up.

With that said, a 14.5% decrease in attendance feels like a steep drop but if that's the the equation then i guess so be it. I would've imagined at most a slight drop in ticket sales from that $1 dollar increase but i guess ill drop it back down by that $1.

How does this garbage time work? If I set it to yes, it does what? If I set it to no, it does what? Thank you!!

not complaining, just trying to understand: why i lost by this margin looking at the stas? https://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/138668369/boxscore.aspx

Players like Gutierrez and Peak probably depressed the team's shooting ratings truly. The players who went off (Nita and Darche) likely have better shooting ratings than what the game ratings advertised. While you nailed GDP with the double hit, his players likely also have a good driving ability, leading to the scoring discrepancy.

Opposition had prominent Perimeter D. Just enough to have you have a poor shooting night.
