In the game setup screen we have this section:
"How do you want to handle substitutions?" From there, we have the option: "Don't substitute until X quarter starts/all game long" I think it would be of great benefit to all managers if there was also the option: "ALLOW substitutions until X quarter starts" Why? As of now there is no way that I'm aware of to allow subs AND guarantee you starters play late in the game. This would be the most realistic option allowing managers to partially rest their starters for the first 1 to 4 quarters and ensure their starters play with the game on the line. However, it would be overrided if the Garbage time settings are triggered. |

This game could not exemplify any more why I think we should add this suggestion. Here's the basic game story: Subs at 80% - With the starters in for about the first 20 consecutive plays I take an early lead. -Up 21-7 in the 2nd quarter, the backups come into the game in the middle of a drive and my backup QB throws an INT. - Things are still okay as I take a 28-10 lead into the 2nd half. - KMN chips away with a strong 3rd quarter against a mixed bag of players. - 28-24 going into the 4th Q and this where I want my starters back in. But with no option to do that, KMN dominates and takes the lead. Would I have lost with my partially rested starters back in the game? Whether you like this suggestion or not, I'd love to hear any opinions. |

I mean other than making your starters first string (since your QB and back-up both played about 30 ish snaps that's what mine do and I got them both on 1st string) I mean honestly I don't know I always assumed that your starters did come in I have a 2 QB rotation maybe get rid of those back-ups and the computer will automatically put them in when its crunch time and it matters but idk...
I can certainly see why this was such a major issue for you though playing the #1 ELO team you had them on the ropes up 28:10 and 35:24 but one thing though; how exactly would this be implemented? like as a game settings feature? I mean the vagueness of the feature would be the only obstacle... This is honestly a good suggestion though  I just got some questions though
Maybe there could be a feature where we could have substitution planning like this guy comes in at 8:00 in the 4th that could also work... |

All I'm suggesting here isn't as complex as that although that would be great. It is really just the opposite of "Don't substitute..." where you would then have the option to choose one of the following: - "Based on fitness/energy only" - "Don't substitute [until 2nd/3rd/4th/OT/all game long]" - "Allow substitutes [until 2nd/3rd/4th/OT]" |
