MyCareer Substitution, Rotation frustration

[UConcord11]

Am I the only one who gets increasingly frustrated with the subbsituing in MyCareer. Well for a couple of reasons

1. Once you become a starter and you're a star you play a crapload of minutes and it seems like no matter the conditions you have to play all third reasons

2. We have to play 82 games, I don't want to play 40 minutes in every game.

3. Why the hell am I still in the game when my team is ahead by 20 to start the fourth, or with 5 minutes to go in the fourth. It doesn't make sense. Why the hell am I still in the game when my team is up 25 in the second quarter.

3. It comes to a point where I result to fouling out to gets some of my minutes cut.

4. Off number 3, there are times where I foul consecutively, sometimes getting 3 in the first quarter but I'm still kept in the game

I know the easier solution will be to lower the minutes of the game but then I won't be playing sim and I'll se sacrificing some realistic stats. This is really frustrating

Re: MyCareer Substitution, Rotation frustration

There's an option to "Ask out and sim" or whatever. You still get VC.

I only see it in the 2nd half when the point differential is 10/11+. I usually just ask out & get my VC when we're up by 15+ in the 3rd, and let the sim engine do what it does.

I agree with the foul situation, but I'll just play more conservatively on D if I'm racking up the fouls.

It does seem like you're beholden to the rotation no matter what, but you can sim the rest of the blowout games & still get your VC.

With this method, as dumb as coach and teammate AI still are, you've screwed yourself if the game goes on one of those 3rd/4th quarter runs that it does while you're out. I've had it happen a few times, up 15+ in the 3rd asked out only to lose the lead and the game. It's very frustrating. I want to know what happened to minutes fix they put in patch 3(iirc), I would get subbed out strategically when leading/behind to be able to take/keep the lead late in games and I would rarely play late in blowouts.

Any hope for something to battle this tomfoolery?

Nope, especially playing as a center. I Avg 38 minutes a game which is kinda crazy. Yeah the rotation are horrible. The subbing of the second unit in a blowout with you still on the floor baffles me. I know people say bout the ask to quit with VC intact. The problem with that it does mess up ur stats somtimes. I remember doing that in the 4th. My center never took a 3 and didnt have a single foul. When I ask to sim, I had 5 fouls and took 5 threes all in the 4th quarter. That the problem asking to sim.

Re: MyCareer Substitution, Rotation frustration

totally agree with the thread opener. it's completely unrealistic and unnecessary. in today's nba, players don't play more than 36-38 minutes if they don't have to. they even try to stay below that if possible. the game shoudl reflect that properly.

i've mentioned that in the other thread alredy. that's not what we want, because it will NOT actually take you out of the game, it will just sim the game to the end and it will affect your playing time and your stats. as someone who wants not to have any simulated stats in his career, it's not a valid option.

Got it.

Yea, from that perspective, it's still an issue. The 'ask out' option is just a bandaid for the broken logic.

I still think the offline portion of MyCareer will be partially neglected until they separate MyPark from MyCareer. Right now, it seems like more attention is paid to the online version of the My[whatever] universe than the offline one.

Like, there's still no Broadcast Stadium or Beluba cam in MyCareer. Why?

Re: MyCareer Substitution, Rotation frustration

i just had a game which ended 128 - 99. i was ahead at least 20 points since the middle of the second quarter, but i wasn't substituted until 9 minutes into the 4th. that needs to be fixed asap. otherwise it's just grinding it out. of course i could just commit intentional fouls, but that wouldn't feel right,

Re: MyCareer Substitution, Rotation frustration

so today golden state destroyed cleveland by 34 points. steph curry scored 35 points on them, and he only played 28 minutes. and you know why? because he didn't have to play more than that, since the game was over before the 4th quarter started. in mycareer he would have played probably 44 minutes.

Re: MyCareer Substitution, Rotation frustration

Beside the rotation issue the substitution logic is beyond pathetic. Im playing for the Lakers and although we got 2 C's/2 PF's the ai constantly puts Nick Young on PF or C. At one time even Russell played Center. Its annoying as hell and really takes a lot of fun out of the game.

Re: MyCareer Substitution, Rotation frustration

It has ruined my mycareer also. I'm playing 49 minutes a game, I made it to March but I don't think I can play anymore until it's fixed.

Re: MyCareer Substitution, Rotation frustration

Try playing on the Sixers, like my SG does....

Okafor and Carl Landry are our starters (really?).

Nerlens and Embiid come off the bench...

But since they're all centers no one besides Okafor gets their minutes.

Nerlens is averaging like 15 a game and even though I force him to score his aren't going up.

Let's not mention we drafted a PF with a 76 overall and SG with a 74..good logic there.

The whole reason I wanted to play here is to be the wing-scorer we need irl...but now we have such a messed up lineup it's just frustrating.
