Lol, that is so true.

Fatigue seemed to work last year right? I don't see why EA just didn't leave it alone. If they did, would it have worked this year? Probably. But then they wouldn't have been able to put their gimmicks in to attract the 6th graders out there to play the game.

The problem in fatigue is not that, its that I think they introduced "progressive fatigue" this year

and the problem is that a player starting the game has 100% stamina and when it finishes he has like 78% or something.. thats why the autosub feature does not work .. most players in the 4th quarter are less than 85% and is you have autosub set at 90% for example the player wont reach that level again

thats why they screwed it up

They have to include an option when we can decide how to sub.. after 3 plays after 1 offensive/defensive series etc

And also I had a few too many players wanting to transfer. Probably due to not enough playing time. I might stick in a rule that if I am up BIG than my backups will get some 4th quarter playing time. Also can we do some roster editing to lower the player's fatigue so they can get in the yellow then red much more frequent

I think I have worked on fatigue more than anything else in the game. As far as editing - I tried that, and they do sub, but it is only good for a season or two because of the incoming freshman. So....I wasn't going to do all of that just for that short amount of time.

What I have found that works is set your RB's, WR, DL, LB at a 100/94 or so ratio. It is working good so far as my sub is getting about 8 carries a game or so. Also, have some seen subs on the DL and LB's -- if the other team has a good drive. One more thing is to sub your DL yourself. (i.e. bring in a pass rusher for passing situations).

Hope this helps some.

They you so much for your suggestion. I will defiantly try the 100/94 ratio. i just want my players to have a fair amount of playing time. Your awesome!!

There problem with this is that with the settings your players will never be able to come back in over time, because after a while, they will never be over 90 % in fatigue. And since the "sub in" is over 90, the cpu interprets that they cannot get back in because they dont meet the criteria...

I just left the sub in/out sliders on default. I'll see my HB and WR's sub out. Since, the cpu doesn't seem to be affected by auto-subs, I don't wanna put myself at a "forced" disadvantage.

My subs mirror that of the cpu.
