If any of you asked for your rotation breakdowns check your pm's. Please get back to me ASAP so I can continue on with the simularion. AS far as how the rotations are set up I pretty much went with what the game set-up after the draft except for some very minor changes. So no I was trying to screw anyone over or anything like that, its hard trying to break peoples rotations times down when you only got 240 mintues to play with.
Plam Q richardsons a starter on the heat score 8.8ppg in reality so was it really that bad that he was playing 17 minutes. K-mart being hurt at the moment was another reason y I moved him that low I belive.
I don't think anyone thinks you were trying to screw anyone riah
I think you've done a tremendous job
But you had injuries off so what does it matter if KMart was currently injured
Also, QRich may be a starter in real life but to take away minutes from a PF to give them to a SG who already had four other wings ahead of him on the depth chart just is not something I think many people would have done
No big deal, different people think differently and it's my fault for not specifying my rotation more accurately
Giving you one for the work
No hard feelings it's just I drafted my team to run differently than you originally set it up to run
I really don't think you grasp the amount of work he's putting in here.
What he's not saying is that in NBA 2k10, there are roles assigned to players. On top of that there is a way to manually assign minutes.
The roles are: Starter, Sixth Man, Role Player, Prospect, Bench Warmer
Each role comes with a mish-mash of assumptions regarding minutes, and each role can further even be broken down to like:
Starter, I want you to be the star of this team
Starter, You're replaceable if a better option comes along
Starter, Your position as a starter is guaranteed
So for instance, I made up this table when we were talking about the draft:
Minutes Breakdown:
| Role | Player | Position 1 | MPG | Position 2 | MPG | Total MPG |
| Starter | Devin Harris | PG | 27.5 | SG | 7.0 | 34.5 |
| Starter | Thabo Sefelosha | SG | 22.5 | SF | 2.0 | 24.5 |
| Starter | Omri Casspi | SF | 25.0 | PF | 2.0 | 27.0 |
| Starter | Luis Scola | PF | 25.0 | C | 6.5 | 31.5 |
| Starter | Brook Lopez | C | 31.0 | None | 0.0 | 31.0 |
| Sixth Man | Ersan Ilyasova | PF | 16.0 | SF | 12.0 | 28.0 |
| Rotation Player | Wes Matthews | SG | 18.5 | None | 0.0 | 18.5 |
| Rotation Player | Will Bynum | PG | 15.5 | None | 0.0 | 15.5 |
| Rotation Player | Darius Songaila | PF | 5.0 | C | 5.0 | 10.0 |
| Rotation Player | Dorell Wright | SF | 9.0 | PF | 0.0 | 9.0 |
| Role Player | David Andersen | C | 5.5 | None | 0.0 | 5.5 |
| Role Player | Eric Maynor | PG | 5.0 | None | 0.0 | 5.0 |
| Role Player | Billy Thomas | SG | 0.0 | None | 0.0 | 0.0 |
I sent this amended (in 2k10 language) table to Riah:
Role Player Total MPG
Starter Devin Harris 34.5
Starter Thabo Sefelosha 24.5
Starter Omri Casspi 27
Starter Luis Scola 31.5
Starter Brook Lopez 31
Sixth Man Ersan Ilyasova 28
Sixth Man Wes Matthews 18.5
Sixth Man Will Bynum 15.5
Role Player Darius Songaila 10
Role Player Dorell Wright 9
Bench Warmer David Andersen 5.5
prospect Eric Maynor 5
Bench Warmer Billy Thomas 0
Each player has a different personality. Each player has a different rating, and each player will accept a less role differently, which will affect my teams' performance.
For instance, Dorrell Wright might fancy himself a role player, but he might 'want' more than 9 mins per game, because his player rating is like 74 or 75. So, his moral would drop, bringing him down to like a 71 or something.
There is a crap ton of stuff that goes into first assembling the roster, then managing it. If any of you have xbox live and have my gamertag, you know its not a rare site to see me online messing around with that stuff at like 2 or 3 am on a wednesday. It's a ton of fun actually.
