Been contantly put on the bench for 4-5 yrs in mycareer. BS!

Ok this is my scenario; In my 3rd season, like a dumb whale, I went to GM and said I liked playing with a particular player. I play for the suns and I thought selecting Wesley Johnson would mean he would come off the bench as 6th man more. But no....Since that time, I been being put on the bench A LOT and it's a huge irritation. I sometimes start. But when I do, It's only for THAT game I play, until I'm back on the bench to complain to GM again. I'm playing in my 8th yr in career mode, My overall and position rating is a 99, and I'm still on the bench and Kendal Marshall and Wesley Johnson took the spots of mine and Goran Dragic. I complain about it to the GM, but they don't do S**t. Did anybody have constant trouble in being put on the bench a lot? Because this is driving me crazy. I don't know if it's a glitch or not, but I hate it and we are losing games because of this.

From experience, I think being a whiny dude does it. I'm averaging 38 points and 11 assists a game in 25-30 minutes off the bench (behind Nolan F-ing Smith of all people).

Lucky you. I'd play all games since I ain't got time to play all games. I just usually play key games. When I simulate, my player doesn't score or average above 25 PPG. But oh well. I guess it's the fact, I got a star player in my team (Anthony Randolph is the 2nd star in the suns in my 2k my career) that takes a lot of shots too.

Frustrating stuff, though my experience has been quite different. In fact, I've actually found myself in the opposite situation, getting the starting nod very quickly early on in my rookie season. Except for a couple of benchings after some subpar performances - itself a minor issue as they weren't completely terrible outings and they came after a long string of very solid to great games, making it a bit of a knee-jerk move - I've maintained my starting role.

What's your chemistry rating like?

I suggest trying to play maybe a whole month or two and get solid numbers and feedback from your coach this would ultimately lead to getting the starting spot and once you have that starting spot whenever you play games NEVER do anything to prompt the coach to say something bad about your performance at any stage of the game because when this happens it doesn't matter how good you play for the rest of the game if he gives you even 1 negative feedback your coming off the bench again.

Try playing all games...if it still doesn't work, ask for a TRADE! benching you that longggg is good reason enough
