Fatigued players

[MizzouRah]

CPU progressive fatigue works until around Week 12 when they start becoming slightly fatigued and as weeks go by and especially once you get into the playoffs you'll see players being subbed out after a few plays and the game becomes much easier against the CPU teams.

Does this glitch hold true regardless of which roster set you use? I just picked up the game and noticed it with the EA rosters. I was wondering if a downloaded set would do the same thing or if it they fix the issue.

No it's a game bug not related to rosters.

I just started playing around with letting the CPU manage the practice reps for my guys. I still set the gameplan but the AI sets who gets the reps and the practice intensity. Even in week 3, I had noticed that they had set a couple positions to split reps.

I'd rather do that to keep things even than shut down prog fatigue overall. I'm just anthropomorphizing the approach as I am "delegating it to the positional coaches".

Won't be for everyone....but it works for me.

The game plays much more competitive with fatigue off. It becomes too easy to play against the computer near the end of the season due to computer teams even being slightly fatigued.

The fatigue slows down the computer defenders, which makes it easier to complete passes. CPU players can also disappear during the playoffs, such as the FB replacing the RB and an OL replacing the TE.

I don't plan on ever using this feature again for future franchises, but my only concern is if the ratings for all of the players will eventually get inflated throughout the league due to the setting of automatically using full pads without fatigue turned on.

Interesting for sure Josh... I just think the game plays better with it off or at least more competitive against the CPU teams.

I didn't even know you could have the CPU control your reps.

I switched over to this method, let me know if anyone else is doing this and your thoughts/findings.

Looks like you can still go into manage reps and see what the CPU has set, per Josh's post. You just want to leave them as recommended to get the same as the CPU teams.

Well if you guys find anything that remotely works let me know. I have progressive fatigue off and hb sun in/out set very low and Zeke is still being pulled after 1 play. And of course no way to get him back in. It's maddning!
