DEL Time: 07:58

Request For: Pro and College Basketball
Request Title: Substitutions
Description
Substitutions seem off. For example, a college team with Bench Use set to 3 has the starter (stamina=5) playing 39+ minutes unless limited by foul trouble. This is more of the behavior that would be expected if Bench Use were set to 1 or 2.
Upon investigation, this seems to be tied to two settings. One is too strong of a bias against making substitutions. The second is that the second string player in this case plays two positions, and there is too strong of a bias against using third-string players. Request is to reduce both of these penalty factors.

Priority: Short Term

Admin Notes
Making two changes to substitution patterns:
1. Reduced the bias against making substitutions.
2. Reduced the bias against using the #3 player on a depth chart (or injury reserve). Note these players are still well behind the #2 player in terms of preference.
What has not changed is the preferred starter vs. backup usage as a function of bench usage, stamina, and game situation.
