"More aggressive"? Topic

Does this setting mean anything?  Had two guys set to "more aggressive" for foul trouble, yet they each sat for 13 and 10 minutes in a row in the first half after committing their 2nd fouls.  When would they have sat till had they been on "normal"?  Five minutes into the second half?

Thats bad.   The intent is you them to stay on the court longer.


There is a glitch in the logic though.  What were their backups set at?

Everyone was set at fairly fresh.  And of course, the two guys in question finished the game with 2 and 3 fouls.  Hard to watch a final four game with a bunch of exhausted freshmen running around out there while my two All-Americans are sitting on the bench against my wishes.

what were the aggression levels of the backups set at?  Back in the TK days, I had CS tell me that if they're all set at the same settings (i.e. all More Aggressive), then they basically offset one another and you won't see a difference in PT for your starters if they're in foul trouble

Nope, everyone else was set at "normal."  And no one else got 2 fouls on them in the first half, anyway...

I really don't think that is a glitch.  More aggressive doesn't mean ignore.  Maybe that's how you and others (and perhaps me) would want it, but that's not what it means.

If you set the players to normal, you'll get what you see in most real life games.  2 fouls means you probably don't play again for the first half and I believe in WIS that's how things normally work.  A guy with 2 fouls sits until the depth chart runs out of players with 0-1 fouls.

More aggressive meant that they both came back into the game with 6 minutes remaining in the half.  Since your PF committed two fouls in 100 seconds, it did mean he sat for 12.5 minutes.  But it also meant you played the last 30% of the half risking a third foul that you wouldn't be risking with a normal setting.

And that 6 minute mark from my experience is what more aggressive will buy you.  You won't get a guy put back into the lineup with 15 minutes to go in the half with two fouls.
