Does A Player's Pregame Stamina Affect In-Game Results?

[zephyr13]

I'm pretty sure in previous versions of The Show, the green stamina bar didn't affect results in human-controlled games... is this still the case this year?

I had always believed it was the opposite, players with really low stamina perform poorly compared to how they would with high/full stamina. Maybe it was just my imagination. I never really analyzed results in enough detail, nor over a long enough time to see if there truly was a correlation.

Especially in RttS, it seems like if my created player didn't get a day off and his stamina bar was near empty, he was more prone to struggling at the plate, slower on the base paths, and more likely to make an error in the field.

Sorry if initial post was confusing. I only play franchise mode offline. CPU cues me to give Matt Kemp a day off because his stamina bar is crazy low, I ignore it, Kemp hits 2 HR & drives in 5 runs. Seems like the green bar is just a visual reference to me and has no affect on player performance. That's just my gut feeling, I also have not done any deep testing into this theory...

Does Energy also play a role (along with durability) on the chance of a player getting hurt?

This is also a good question. I've played the Show for the last 4-5 years and I don't ever remember a season in which the Energy Bar had any true effect on player performance or injuries. I haven't played 15 enough to see if there are effects to player abilities if their energy is low.

IMO, the green bar is simply there to show you that a player has been playing a lot and the CPU is suggesting you mix up your line up... not sure.

Good question.. Interested in the findings.. I always change low players for sake of variety and realism.

Players take attribute hits below 65% energy. Your injury % also jumps up when you play guys who are low on energy.

Does a player's durability rating also affect his rate of replenishment? I have some guys who were low, gave them a day off, and they didn't seem to benefit too much from it. It seemed that with a day off they should be closer to full.

Which for most guys is after 1 game lol. Not a big fan of how this is implemented.

this question I can't give a definite answer for a number of reasons, but I can specify that for pitchers in particular, the stamina gameplay (sliders) has the most extreme effect on statistical performance simulation wise, cpu vs cpu. Pitchers will throw a high number of walks, and Homeruns with it nullified. Too high, an unordinary amount of pitches will be thrown. It's pretty much a certainty in my book that if for any reason at all, a pitcher is performing with low stamina it will effect his performance. Hitter wise I can't be sure.

100% energy is always a high threshold to be holding in relation to an athletes health and energy. Even in the offseason I don't begin to feel 100% healthy or energized until I layoff for about a full 2 weeks if I'm uninjured to start with. I like how that's represented in this game, where starters play every single day.

For a starter to layoff 1 or 2 days and come back 100% energized it must mean he had an awesome break or vacation with his time off. Probably after the All Star break is the only point in the season where everyone is generally refreshed in the game

lol 1 game I don't know about that. I would say at lest after 4 games.

So when players are below 65% how much do there attributes take a hit? 20%, 30% hit ect. Also how much dose the % of injury go up? Finally do all of those % go up the more and more you are under 65%? So for example if a player is at 64% is the changes of him getting injured and his attributes taking a hit not as much has he would be if he was at say 54%?

How big of an attribute hit are we talking? Is it something minor like 3-5 negative points on all stats for the player, or is it more than that?

I'm playing with the Orioles and guys like Jones and Hardy play 162 games in real life but need to be subbed in the game in order to not take an attribute hit?

It would be nice if this information was presented somewhere.
