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.
