So I just lost my 2nd preseason game.  But it was very unorthodox loss. My 5 starters played a total of 158 minutes but only scored 23 points,  while my 2 bench players played 46 min and scored 62! What am I doing wrong? Is it play distribution and if so how should I set that up?  
Second question, how should I set up subs? Based of minutes or fatigue? I had it on minutes but I noticed that my players were very tired towards the end of the half.  Thanks for the help!

I would think you need to look at your fatigue settings.  C played 35 mins and PF played 36.  Do you have your rotation set?  Do you have backups listed at all positions?  (system won't add them for you).

That IS an odd box score. I'd say it probably is distro-based. Where do you have your levels set right now?

I had most of my starters set to between 24-28 min. What do you mean rotation I had set my depth chart, but I hadn't touched the play distribution page and I only had 17 points accounted for. I also only had 7 players at the time. I just recruited 5 more but I still don't know why it would've had my bench play more than my starters unless when your starters hit there max min it just keeps your bench in.  But anyways I switched it back to fatigue settings and put all my starters to getting tired and my back ups to fairly fresh with the exception of a SG that I promised 25 min a game, I set him to tired.  Does this sound good, and how should I set up my distribution? I have some good F and I run a fast break (all my players are atleast B- in fast break). Thanks again guys!

I would recommend using fatigue settings, not minutes.  Hard to get a kid 25 mins unless you start him.  But based on your scoring, the distro must be out of whack.  Did you have everyone at 0 except for the two that came off the bench?  And I can't see why your starters would have played so long if you had people listed behind them on the depth chart.  1 SF and 1 SG are tough to backup all 5 positions if you're playing something other than a slowdown zone I would think.

Check distro and check that you have players setup on your depth chart.
