Quick question about this: one of the options for target minutes is "Maximum". Does this mean he will play as many minutes as he can without dying? Without getting extremely tired? Without getting slightly fatigued? What exactly does this setting mean?

I'm giving this target minutes thing a try on a team that I have promised 3 starts to FR on so they won't continue to see almost 50% of the PT.

Also, has anyone ever analyzed how much starts benefits growth over minutes played? Like having a guy start 10 games and only play 10 mpg versus not start any of those games and play 20 mpg?

Im a big user of target minutes,  Uconnut. I use them with both of my teams - Beloit and Oglethorpe.

Maximum until he's dragged off court basically (i would only use this if the dude stamina is in the upper 80's) , i normally use for my best player 29-33. . St Josephs is your team, the more minutes they play the more they improve for sure but you want to keep your prestige up as much as you can since they are a B prestige. Starters - Andrews i would keep at 29-33. 0 or +1  for 3pt . Rice is probably 9 to 13 minutes player - 0 for 3pt (since his low post is so low) , Brooks 19-23 -2 , he could attack on underneath off the wing. Hairston is a 9-13 min, -2 low post. , sensabaugh i would leave at 24-28 minutes, -2 low post,. - bench - pg- mayer - 14-18 , +1 , sg- beecher - 24 to 28 , +1, sf- teague 19-23 0 3pt, pf-  royal 24-28 - 2, c- hersh 9-13 -2

arssanguinus- Backup at pg spot is a bit weak so andrews is going to handle 29 to 33 minutes at first and scale back a little bit if mayer shoots well from three off the bench then mayer time will pick up. The two at sf is some good depth plus both need to develop so even split minute wise will be okay. These are just are just opening set totals just for now since disasteruss is starting 3 froshes in the lineup.

Maximum means he will play until he fouls out or get hurt.

MPG > start in player growth.

Target minutes are best used only w/ promises to freshmen that you don't want to play very much, in my opinion. I've had success with it in DIII Staten Island - but we run a 12 man rotation - FB and FCP.  I had 2 freshmen with promised starts on the same team, and got to the sweet 16 with target minutes. Those freshmen generally played around 10 minutes a game despite being starters. 

That's the only time I've found it to be a better option than fatigue.

you know, a lot of us have, what do you call it... imagined or fantasized with this game. but its more along the lines of half time speeches, visualizing the game as it simulates, pep talks to players, that sort of stuff. im not sure the rest of us have fantasized about our players screwing each others moms and the like. you might want to get yourself checked out :)
