How is Progressive Fatigue?

[Richie71]

Hi all, let's not confuse what the Progressive Fatigue issue is.
For human players, it's fairly simple. You manage your practice according to fatigue levels. If you run your players in to the ground every week, they will be fatigue, susceptible to injury (the anecdotal evidence links the two) and depending on your substitution settings may see players play limited reps or not play at all.


The issue with progressive fatigue is the AI management of AI teams. Their management would see starters (especially HB and TE) not play at all or limited reps late in the season. Playing a Superbowl against Kansas when they have their FB at HB and reserve OT at TE was not as challenging as it should be.

Agree with this. There was a bug when M22 launched where user players were getting fatigued into the ground regardless of how much you trained them, but that's been fixed for awhile now.


Everything has looked good to me this year in a few seasons of franchise

This is exactly the main issue with it. Can anyone confirm if it’s fixed this year? I’ve been playing with it on but will turn it off if it makes the playoffs too easy like last year

Year 1 once I hit the playoffs, DJ Moore, Christian McCaffrey, Brian Burns and Derrick Brown didn't start the game and wouldn't come in unless I manually subbed them in.

Is that your team? They are asking specifically about CPU managed teams.

Sorry, this was for a user controlled team.

What settings are you guys using? I have messed around with 50 to 60. Trying to find the best option.
