Will they EVER fix rotations and mass subbing!?

[DarthRambo]

This has always drove me crazy and already see in my first game it's STILL a problem. 4min remaining in the 1st quarter both team mass sub 4 out of 5 guys! Can't they figure this out and fix it?

Why not set where say, so and so plays entire first quarter. Rests first 5-7min of the 2nd. Plays until the 2min mark of the 3rd and rests. Then beginning of the 4th, and plays rest of the game?

Idk, the minute rotation thing has always been a problem because it forces mass subs. Gotta be a way they can fix this!

They've added this feature, but it is for Myleague only.

That sucks. Maybe patch it in since it's apparently already there?

I agree it totally takes the immersion out. They should program the cpu where they only do mass subbing at the end of games when it's a blowout. In the meantime they should only sub 1-2 players at a time during the course of the game during Quick Play.

I haven't tried MyLeague yet so not sure if the advanced rotations feature will help but wished that it was available in the Roster editing screen.

This is a result of not enough whistles/dead balls right? So the subs accumulate

If you go into a Myleague, go to coaching, gameplan and into the rotations, then press start, this will bring up the Rotation Timeline or Advanced Rotations. This shows that all these years, mass subs in the 1st and starters playing the whole 4th hasn't been a bug but a design flaw.

Every team has all 5 starters set to come out by 6 or 7 minutes into the 1st, and most of the starters are set to play the entire 4th.

I LOVE that they added this feature for MyLeague, it's probably my favorite new feature this year as auto subs problems have irked me for as long as I can remember. While it may be overwhelming for some, I'm gonna be gleefully pouring hours into my 30 team MyLeague customizing these game by game lol

I really hope they are able to add Rotation Timeline to the Roster Files themselves.

No not really, although this was a common theory for the mass subs in the 1st quarter. As I said in my post above, with the Rotation Timeline in MyLeague, you'll see that each team is designed to have 1 or 2 starters come out at 6 minutes (halfway) and the rest come out a minute later. In a 6 min quarter game, this is only 30 seconds later. There's only so many deadballs you have have in 30 seconds or even a minute.

So it's not like they are supposed to be spread out over the back half of the quarter and end up getting lumped together.
