    Fatigue Remedies?

    Even after an off-day some of my players need ~1-2 days off a week or their "fatigue meter" runs of juice.... I am assuming this causing ratings decreases and increases the chances of injuries? Is there a remedy for this??

    Re: Fatigue Remedies?

    Playing a player that is highly fatigued, or pitching a pitcher that has little to no stamina remaining can definitely increase the chance of injury. I've noticed my pitchers, even after not pitching for a couple of games, not having a full energy bar. While I haven't really messed with it too much yet, I would assume that you will need to adjust their training to stamina, or the like, to help get through the later parts of the season/playoffs. If your team has a lot of older players, like the Tigers (my franchise team), you will notice this more.

      I'm pretty sure durability affects fatigue as well so a pitcher with low durability and stamina is going to be trouble.

        When you identify which players generally need the extra time, try to give them breaks that coincide with off days. So if you have a Monday off, give them Sunday as well so they get two days while only missing one game. Also, on long stretches with no breaks, make sure to give them breaks regularly before their stamina gets that low. If you have a weak spot in your rotation, let them miss that day since you'll have a tougher time winning that game anyway.

              I personally pay very little attention to fatigue of position players. I have a formula I follow and typically only rest players due to slumps. Catchers on the other hand are rested more often, typically don't catch a day game following a night game.
              I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                The durability attribute is a combination of energy/stamina AND injury risk. That's garbage, and why that attribute might be the single most important thing that needs to be fixed for RTTS and Franchise.

                In Franchise I set all my MLB guys' durability ratings to 75 or above. I also do it for my top prospects.

                Training is a joke, and his minimal if any effect from my experience.

                I don't know if ratings decrease based on fatigue. I think they might, but I'm not sure.

                I always try to have some young guys rated in the 70's with C potential on my MLB team to give the regulars off days. I wouldn't want a young guy with B potential sitting on the bench, and I don't want salty vets with platoon or everyday demands poisoning my clubhouse...

                  I like that injuries are tied to stamina/durability in pitchers but for position players I do wish it was a separate attribute.
                  For pitchers, no less an authority than Dr. James Andrews says the biggest factor in injuries is overuse.
                  He also notes insufficient rest and pitching while fatigued as primary factors to pitcher injuries, (which in my mind are both the same as his previous stated biggest factor of overuse) before he finally notes a primary factor that isnt stamina related: poor mechanics.

                    Pitchers HAVE a separate stamina rating that refers to pitching specifically. I don't know if pitching into the danger zone -- where there's a "!" by your stamina meter -- increases injury risk or simply reduces effectiveness. Durability for pitchers, then, is almost completely an injury risk rating since energy doesn't play into it at all.

                        I have noticed a sharp decrease in fielding ability when fatigued and lack of speed.
