    MyGM Question about morale


    My Googlefu is weak, as such, I'm asking here...

    Starting a new MyGM soon and I gave up before because every player I would sign- whether an aging vet in their 70's or a rookie in their low 70's or even high 60's expected tons of playtime, or even starting roles. Does anyone know if they've fixed this, or do you know a way around it?

    I know the last MyGM I had before giving up on it, my entire starting lineup was low 80's (80-83) and my 6th man was a 77 who just would not let go of being a starter and it frustrated the hell out of me, even when he was playing starter minutes. I also had 2 rookies, a 73 and 68, who were wanting more minutes than their overall called for... the 73, because of his potential, was still playing 18 mins a game and wanted more for some reason. :\

    I hated having an important piece, my 6th man, tumbling to a 50> Morale because of this. Much of my bench was also wanting more minutes/improved role, even if their morale didn't do the same as his.

    Any advice/information is most welcome.

    I have the same problem with the Warriors and Andre Iguadala. I liked it in years past how you were able to determine your player roles, but they took that away. It def seems to be an issue.

      It didn't do anything in past years. They would lose morale because their role didn't say starter even if they were playing 30+ minutes a game.

        I think if you add "Low Ego" badge to Iggy and turn non-starter in the roster before starting the MyGM mode it might solve that issue. Let me know if I'm wrong.

        I'm not certain "Low Ego" is a good description of Iguodala. I don't think he'd easily accept the 6th man role any other situation. However, I think it's an okay resolution given that even when Barnes is hurt, the Warriors generally don't start Iguodala to preserve the rotations without public grief from Iguodala.

          Nope... they've changed nothing.

          Started with Charlotte and gave up after less than 30 mins because my top 3 bench players were all 3 screaming to be starters, even when 1-3 points lower than my starter.

            I'm 10 seasons into my GM and have this. It definitely helps if players have the "low ego" or "keep it real" badge. But it's just a balancing act between giving them pitches to increase morale. I think winning helps reduce it as well, as their morale will naturally increase then.
