Player fatigue...what can be done?

Re: Player fatigue...what can be done?

I think there is some realism here. Afterall the game is trying to represent itself as a sim.
Pujols only played in 148 games
Ankiel in 120 and Ludwick in 152.

The CPU is randomizing when they need to rest but they actually do need some. So sit Pujols once every 10 games or push through it and get him on the dl.

My take.

I don't disagree that we should have to rest our players, but I just have an issue with how often we need to do it. If I only had to sit my players 10x, I'd be ok with it. And while I haven't tested it, I bet if I pulled them any time they were low and the coaches suggested I rest them, they'd sit 30 or more games. I can't think of any every day player that sits that often unless they're hurt.

I'm resting my players when the bar is roughly between 50-60 percent full. I'm most concerned if I let it go to far that either they won't perform up to their ability or they run the risk of an injury.

Now, you might say 50-60 percent isn't that low, but when I look at the entire Cubs lineup and everyone is somewhere around 90 percent and above, it gives them an advantage.

u can still play them. ur resting them too early. u dont have to rest ur players until they are about 15%. dont worry because they still perform well with thier energy low.

i did it in 08 all the time
