Fatigue in 2010?

And you were going to tell us this great news when?!? This is awesome my man.

Although I have not seen real-time fatigue, I am happy to know that players get tired the more they play in the game itself. Next steps are real-time fatigue and season/age fatigue

I am looking forward to pounding the rock for 3 quarters then changing to shotgun to light up the tired defense

To produce this effect, they have to have it tuned properly. In other words, I hope that progressive fatigue is not implemented so subtle that you hardly notice it. I don't want to see an over-dramatic effect, but it needs to be obvious that it's there and should affect your strategy in-game. Like someone else said, hopefully it puts a premium on having every-down backs as opposed to those who often split carries or have low stamina.

Exactly. You should HAVE to split carries if your RB doesn't have a lot of stamina.....

ummm...doesn't green mean he's at 100%?

If this progressive fatigue works as Ian has stated that would be huge for the strategy/sim side of Madden. It would be really nice to be able to utilize a ball control offense and get a workhorse running back.
