Thoughts on Stamina/Fatigue

[The Taper Fade God]

What are you guys thoughts on fatigue?

I'm happy that people can no longer play their guys for the entire game, but it seems like guys might get a little too tired now.

I'm in an online league with 8 minute quarters, and dudes like lebron james can only play 21/22 mins per game because he's exhausted.....and that's with no turbospamming

guys with high stamina should be able to comfortably play 24-26 mins of a 32 minute game, that's the equivalent of 36-39 mins in a 48 min game

players stamina only jumps by 4 points during half time. That's a bit unrealistic considering these are world class athletes and they're getting a 20 minute break to rest and drink gatorade.

Anybody have settings that will allow guys to play 24/25 minutes out of 32 instead of 20/21?

Yeah this thought has made its way into my mind also....

I'm ending games with young, supreme athletes like Westbrook and Oladipo in the mid 60s for energy.

I am not 100% sure if I am over using them on offense etc. to cause this, but I definitely feel like the recovery after halftime seems off.

8 minute mark in the 3rd (12 min quarters) and my back court are both low 70s......

All this said, I don't see if affecting on court things to a degree that its an issue.

Maybe its just a matter of putting that energy number out of your head, keeping to a realistic rotation and play style and letting the rest take care of itself....?

ive always sat my stars for 20-25 percent of the games, even when you didn't have to

i just dont like my guys being exhausted when they shouldn't, especially with progressive fatigue

i changed the sliders, put fatigue on 42 and stamina on 55 and i still dont see a difference

the fatigue rate is ok i guess, the problem is the recovery

Re: Thoughts on Stamina/Fatigue

Changed the sliders:

Fatigue: 46
Stamina 54 (user) / 52 (cpu)

Have a player with 90 stamina. He played 27 minutes of the first 3 quarters (and rested the last 4 of the third). Came into the fourth quarter with 80 stamina.

I was happy with that. The rest of my players with lower stamina ratings obviously faired a bit worse but I felt timeout and half-time stamina recovery were pretty decent.
