Depth Chart Question Topic

The SIM is the SIM, and always has a bit of a mind of it's own, but lately I seem to be having a lot of instances where players not even on my Depth Chart at a position are playing there. The players who are listed are not in foul trouble (I always use very aggressive foul setting). Anyone else notice an increase in such activity lately?

I have seen some pretty odd "scrub time" replacements.
E.g.:

PG - Paul Silas
SG - David West
SF - Brad Miller
PF - Andrew Bynum
C - Maurice Lucas

West and Lucas had 0 minutes alotted in the depth chart.

The URAPP team in question does have limited bench minutes for the guards.
The SIM apparently was looking for volunteers to play a "small" position

When are they playing in the incorrect positions? Last 4-6 minutes? Or whenever?

Whenever.

so . . . out of curiosity, I set up a game with a combo of 2 or 3 deep rotations
  • each rotation player was assigned "1" minute
  • two players were in two rotations (Irving, McGrady)
  • two players were not in the rotation at all (Lucas, West)
the rotations in the game log did not seem to have gross "out of position" lineups, but the minute manager got bit befuddled, me'thinks . . .

Similar pattern -- no clue as to why McKey is under utilized as a starter, or why the non-rotation players get so many minutes . . .

The SIM being the SIM.
WIS would much rather make excuses for it than work on it. That's the sad, annoying part.

For this experiment, player minutes were set to either 8 or 12, depending on whether there were 3 or 2 players in the rotation.
Total minutes was 24 minutes per position, rather than 2 or 3.
Individual rotation minutes were either 0,8, 12 or 20 per player.

The SIM appeared to like this a bit better:
