CHANGES: This season please give your players minutes in blocks of four (16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, or 40 minutes). This was I can sim live/quarter by quarter games quicker as I can make all the subs at the same time and not worry about getting precise minutes. Special Instructions are again included down the bottom. Include defensive matchups, situational lineups (clutch lineups, etc), times to call extra timeouts (8-0 run for example), instructions to limit a player's minutes if they play shit, etc. Feel free to note that you're comfortable with me making tactical changes if you'd like me to make changes as I see fit.
