another bench minutes question. I just can't seem to get any bench players to play more than 13 minutes per game (and even that is a huge stretch). How can I do this without starting them?

I have tried editing the players.dbf, and it helps decrease some of the points from starters, but I can't figure out how to decrease minutes. I have tweaked the D (development) stats, and I'm wondering what the CS, S, and P stats do. I've tried changing the CS stats as well, but it just won't change minutes. Please respond.

you can try lowering endurance of the starters

or

you can try to play the game and not simulate the whole 25 seasons, cuz that's just a waste of time, any1 agrees?

lowering endurance doesn't work. And who said I wasn't playing the game? If you play with one team, the other 28 will have simulated stats. I'm hoping to get them to be accurate for the whole league.

go to players.dbf and increase minutes, fgm, fga, and they will start having more minutes and fgs.

Minutes - minus abou 10 minutes off one of the starters or something and add to the player of your choice. you can divide it evenly to severel players also.

I've been trying that but it hasn't worked. Has it worked for you?

tes

[escot4]

which parts do you edit? is it DMinutes (or DFGM/A), CSMinutes, SMinutes, PMinutes, or something else?

Any of the statistics fields in the players.dbf file that begin with D are the so-called Dstats, which control simulated statistics by providing example stats (ie last season's stats).
