LIST of regular starters with the stamina issue

[PPerfect_CJ]

For those that haven't noticed, there is an issue in FIFA 15's Manager Mode where real-life regular starters are not getting starts due to low stamina ratings. This has nothing to due with wear and tear from matches played, it is present right from the beginning of the season. We found it when star keepers were never playing and their backups got all of the starts. Further testing and observations showed us that it also affected other position players. I thought it would be a good idea to try and compose a list of those players, so that if we wish, we can edit stamina before starting up a new Manager Mode and be able to have more accurate lineups and a more "sim like" experience. If you notice someone that is regularly out of action when you play them that SHOULD be on the pitch, just make a note of it here, so that he can be added to the list. I mainly play in the Premier League, but it'd be great to have them from other leagues, because I'm sure they have the same problems. Thanks, guys.

Re: LIST of regular starters with the stamina issue

Just as a disclaimer, if you didn't already know, when you edit players, you lose their winter gear. It sucks and I don't know why it hasn't been patched, but it is what it is. I'd rather see short sleeves on the player than not see the player on the pitch at all. As for starting goalkeepers, the sweet spot on stamina seems to be 45. Credit to go_irish on that find. I've also noticed that there will be cases where other player's stamina ratings will have to be LOWERED in order to remove them as a regular starter or to move guys that get more playing time ahead of them. Again, this sucks, but is going to be a necessary evil if you have OCD like me and want realistic lineups. Thanks again, guys.

Re: LIST of regular starters with the stamina issue

I tried out the 45/20 rule for keepers and was surprised to find that it worked splendidly. Thanks.

I do have a question though: what is the rule with outfield players? For example, with Hazard do I just have to make his stamina higher than Schurle or do I also have drop the "backup" player's stamina?

I tried just increasing the starting outfield player's stamina over the backup's but I didn't see the drastic results that I saw with keepers. I appreciate the list and any help you can offer.

Re: LIST of regular starters with the stamina issue

Well, for a test, Bony kept starting over Aguero, so I just bumped up Aguero's stamina and that solved it. I could see where you might have to lower other's stamina just like the goalkeepers tho, to be sure that you get the desired results. I'll be looking at it closer when next Friday's squad update comes out with the transfer window finally closing. Thank you for taking interst. Just glad I'm not the only one. Lol!

Re: LIST of regular starters with the stamina issue

While this isn't a game breaking issue (at least for me), you really do have to wonder how this slips by EA and doesn't get fixed. This game is fantastic which seems to magnify the little things, but really, you do have to wonder, and as usual when you fix things manually it breaks another thing..... smh

I think the problem is that they don't seem to care about Manager Mode enough. If you look at their Twitter page, it's sickening how much they talk about FUT. It makes them extra money, so as long as that's running smoothly, that's all that matters to them.

Re: LIST of regular starters with the stamina issue

The easiest way for you to keep track of the low stamina issue would be to go to Sofifa site and you can search BPL based on stamina and sort it then get easy check who has low stamina. Only other problem is if you do it then next week need to do it again as FIFA just keeps updating rosters like crazy and adding/deleting players to so do all the work and next update added couple your favorite players and boom redo it all.
Have you also tried manually editing team sheets for the teams to make sure starters are in first 11? Might help.

Do agree sick of FUT getting all the attention and hearing about packs and coins like it's a Pokemon card game not damn Fifa ..

Re: LIST of regular starters with the stamina issue

Yeah, you're right about the squad updates. That's why I'm really waiting on this Fridays before I attempt to fix anything. The transfer window closes, so the player movement should be done. I definitely use SoFifa. That's a great site. As for manually editing team sheets, I've tried it, but it doesn't stick for the CPU teams. The starters, that is, but formations do, so that may help a little. There are a few teams I plan on switching to a 2 striker formation just to get some guys in that are supposed to be in. Gonna be a long weekend. Lol!
