dahs,
I get what you're saying about DI athletes, but the player who prompted this thread is a DIII guy. Furthermore, it's not like he's a superstar who simply can't understand why less talented players are getting minutes instead of him.
Perhaps I've overestimated the general mindset of talented basketball players and assumed more of them are workhorses than actually exist. It seems the talent level of a player, according to you and several others, is directly related to how much he feels entitled to things and takes them for granted in real life.
This, in turn, is represented by a player demanding minutes based on his class rank within the game, which isn't a perfect system to represent it by any means, but seems acceptable to several of you.
Fine. Then I shall retire my argument otherwise except to submit a ticket asking for this to be modified as someone else suggested, based upon the DI, DII, DIII schools, prestige, the player's talent, minutes, starts, etc.
