Coach wont rotate goalies?

Munners · 12-22-2016, 01:02 PM

Hey, I just started with the Windsor Spitfires, as GM only, and my head coach seems like he's allergic to rotating the goalies. About 20 games into the season, and the only time my backup has seen is a couple of relief appearances and a short few game stint as my starter went down with injury. He even plays back-to-backs, and hasn't been all that impressive so far. Why is my coach not rotating them?

Likely just bad luck (and possibly a high-stamina starter) at this point, the coach will select the backup to start a certain percentage of the time, and it's more likely (but not certain) if the starter's fitness is lower. I'm working on a better way to handle starting goalie choices, though, the way it's working now isn't ideal.

Is it possible to add an option, like the one you have for the lineusage?

So that we can add a percentage of how much the goalies should play.

For example:
1:st Goalie 60%
2:nd Goalie 40%

That'll probably be the fall-back if what I want to do doesn't work out. But I'd like to make it more interesting and realistic.

I would like to second this. Outta 52 games in regular season my main goalie played 50. Seen this in several different games Ive tried out.
