POR @ ATL

Do both Leuer and WCS have (0) play time modifier in the sim? Even with (-) is hard to imagine that they should get 0 minutes.

Although just the fact that 4 best players in ATL have even (-) really pisses me off. I know this just a game but this tanking without even trying to keep it realistic really takes the fun away from the game for me.

They are set to (-) iirc.

We actually DID adopt stricter rules this offseason to help prevent this:

Due to better working PT modifiers in the recent update the JKP rule has been amended to include:

You cannot give players rated below 55 (++) or players rated 60 or above (0).

However, as you can see, if a team has a suffficent bench a (-) is all this is needed to set a guys minutes to zero.

We currently also have a rule about not benching your star players (Atlanta is still starting Beal), but nothing against giving them the (-) modifier, and nothing against benching your 2nd-4th best players as Atlanta has done.

If you have a problem with something like this and desire change, I suggest making a thread about it in the General Discussion forum, perhaps a poll would be appropriate.

I have no problem but  maybe only two players om your lineup can receive (-) or only one player on your starting lineup.

Kylo Ren my apologies, my team do not know that we should concede all games to your almighty team. I will punish them for their folly and make them reflect on their actions

Yeah.. I liked the added new rule amendment. I thought that would make it impossible to do make this kind of playing time shenanigans. But I don't think it makes sense to change the rule to make more detailed restrictions. That just makes it super complicated since 60 rated player can be the 2nd or 10th best player depending if team is contender or tanking.

Everyone can think themselves what lineups are realistic enough to fit the rules. I could do similar thing, if I would want to, so it's even playing field. Just saying that realistically thinking Shapazz, Leuer and WCS would be all demanding a trade with those minutes.
