no substitutions, no fatigue, starting 5s play the entire game

[BISMARCK]

Like the title says, even though I tried all coaching types, it doesnt happen automatically, the CPU is also affected. Myeras are affected from my perspetive. Is there no QA at 2k? Lol

[RomanBlack729]

I have no idea nor answer that they missed this while testing this game.

[gochickenjp]

same to me here, even you set the play time manually and set the sub from auto to manual it's still there.

[Toxy]

Well I've only played myWNBA so far but in that mode there are simulation settings and I've turned player fatigue rate all the way up and recovery rate all the way down. While viewing cpu vs cpu matches, players did get subbed out. I have no idea if these settings are available in other modes though.

[gochickenjp]

It's still weird, especially in the second half and 4th quarter. The CPU will never substitute exhausted players, regardless of whether you set the Subs Method to rotation or fatigue

It's broken as of right now
They acknowledged it on Discord
Hope they fix it soon, it's unplayed like this

MyCareer Subsitution Bug

I am not sure if it is a bug but is anyone else experiencing players not getting subbed out (including your MyPlayer)? The rotations have players playing certain minutes but in games they are playing way more minutes. Does anyone know a fix?

If it helps, I'm playing on Superstar and 12 minute quarters.

I was subbed in when the 2nd started and was never subbed out until the end. Must be a bug.

Details of Substituion BUG test results

I'm trying to figure out the details of a problem that occurred with the CPU's substitution issues. I did some simulations with the following configuration:

Platform: PC
My Team: Bucks
Enemy Team: 76ers (default)
Game Mode: Quick Play (cpu vs cpu)
Quarter Length: 12 minutes
Substitution: Manual
Substitution Method: Rotation

I've manually set the play minutes of all the Bucks' starter players to 20 and other sub players (Positions 6 to 13) to about 17. In coaching sliders, I set the Bench Utilization to 100 and Bench Depth to the maximum of 15.

I've repeated cpu vs cpu in-game simulations 4 times. I found that there are always 3 starter players who are never subbed throughout the game, while the other two starter players share playing time with sub players. The unsubbed positions seem to be random. I suspect there are some bugs that make the CPU include only 2 instead of all 5 starter players in its rotation plan.

It took me about 5-6 hours to do this work, and I hope it will be fixed immediately.

same, playing 48 mins since i got started

[Tarkhax]

Same here, should be playing around 22 minutes but never get pulled out ending up at over 40.

Also it seems like the opponent doesn't use subs properly.
I'm playing the Nets and Dennis (Schröder) is at 43 mins while SImmons has not played a single second.

[benny]

because of this bug, 2 starting teammates and 2 players in opponent team were injured in one ball game...
Hope this bug will be fixed asap...

Search function up the top.

[TomNady]

this issue is on all modes it seems... playing the whole 40 minutes in WNBA career and mynba the opponent wont sub out players so 80 percent of players play the full 48 minutes lol

nba2k25

In MC mode, as a starter who cannot be substituted, when can it be fixed after playing for 48 minutes

Can't believe people are not talking about this more ! Game breaking immersion
