I'm going to waste my time and submit a ticket.  Here we go:

	Ashlando Mustangs OFF	"Master Blaster" DEF
PG	M. Beltz 100%	M. Bogues 100%
SG	K. Smith 100%	M. Jordan 100%
SF	S. Lowe 100%	C. Ceballos 100%
PF	P. Ewing 100%	C. Barkley 100%
C	R. Evans 100%	J. Scott 100%

1.  Belts - not on depth chart at all, not 100% effective at PG.  Is 100% effective at SF.
2.  Smith - not on depth chart at SG, is on depth chart at PG where he is 100% effective.
3.  Lowe - not on depth chart at SF, 90% effective there.  He is on depth chart at PG and SG where he is 100% effective.
4.  Ewing - not on depth chart at PF, is on depth chart at C, the only position he's 100% at.
5.  Evans - not on depth chart at C, is on depth chart at PF, the only position he's 100% at.

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?  Every person there could be on the floor at a position they are 100% at.. yet WIS puts the subs at positions they are not 100% at and ARE NOT ON THE DEPTH CHART AT.  This happens consistently to my teams whether they are in foul trouble, blowout situations OR IN NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES.  Sometimes this happens in situations that end up costing me the game.  Most of the time it happens and just forces extreme fatigue in somebody who should never have been on the floor where they were. Luckily (or actually, unfortunately) I was already down big when this happened.

Explain to me why your substitution logic not only ignores my depth chart but common sense on top of it.   I often see guys with the lowest effective position effectiveness for a position put there when there are many others that could fill in.

Thread for the last example:

Wow, lol...in all seriousness ash, if you haven't tried/played hoops dynasty, I would recommend it...I mean hell if it gets my endorsement, it's got to be good, right?  Good luck with that though man, that's ridiculously bizarre.

My blood pressure just went up several points. It's just so frustrating that this continues to happen.

my sympathies are with you ash

My blood pressure just went up several points. It's just so frustrating that this continues to happen.

btw that's why I rarely even bother looking at the PbP - just not good for my mental and physical health

Odd, I have gone through nearly every PbP for each team I have done and have never seen this happen.  Is this something that is occurring during the normal flow of the game or during a "clear the bench" period?  Because I always have my "clear the bench" setting at last minute with a huge point difference setting too.

happens a lot to me during the normal flow of the game.  felon's in a league where it consistently plagued me (the one with duechovic talking so much).  I had a nice rotation set up between Ray Allen, Michael Redd & Charles Barkley over the 2 & 3 positions.  Yet the sim continually put Kenny Smith in at the 2, which made my usage on the floor too small, which consistently put me into the team possession penalty situation, which cost me a lot of games - mostly against one noob with way too big of mouth - and it did it in the playoffs.

The bottom line is the substitution logic is terrible.  More stoppages in play would go a long way towards helping this, but when the sim fails to recognize it has five players on the floor that are 100% effective from five different positions, yet it puts them in seemingly random positions, I have no confidence that anything can fix it.

Still haven't heard back from the ticket, fyi.

This sh!t happens ALL the time

	Seattle Supersikmas OFF	Aja Jade DEF
PG	D. Smith 100%	C. Gaines 100%
SG	C. Ceballos 100%	P. Pressey 100%
SF	C. Maxwell 100%	E. Brand 100%
PF	B. Williams 100%	T. Washington 100%
C	H. Grant 100%	Y. Ming 100%

Derek Smith is not 100% PG nor on the PG depth chart anywhere

Another example in the same game - why the heck would I want Nick Anderson to play PG?

Lucky I only had one position screwey in this game..

Sorry about the formatting. (I can't be bothered to fix it - much like WIS)

...

Why did I even waste my time?

hey, get it? they're 'working on improvments'! too funny

Yeah, when all 5 guys are playing OOP...how can you honestly have excuses?

It is the same way when you first draft a team.  I had a team with Wilt, Nance, and Duncan....Nance was put at SG by default.

I had
one time put Duncan in sg

You just need to draft more Magic's and other players who can play multiple positions and you won't have these problems. LOL

I have often thought of putting together a team that had players that were very effective in multiple positions to see if they would do it better. Unfortunately after the last "upgrade" there is less of these players available.
