Fatigue

[Aiq xDoDx]

Does it seem like the players get a bit too tired before each half? I'm worried once I start master league that my guys will be more likely to get injured due to it. (I don't spam the turbo button or through balls)

I've noticed that. I like to play the ball out wide and let my players run on quick counter attacks and multiple players have nothing left, specially the wingers/wide midfielders. I think it is better than in the past, but may be too much.

Will force players not to hold down dash.

IMO the fatigue works pretty well. If you are attacking the left constantly, the players on the left are going to tire faster, while the players on the right will be less fatigued.

Also thats the part of having a bench to go to, some players in real life can barely play 55 minutes before they are gassed. Lavezzi at PSG can't play past 70 minutes. Di Maria has had fatigue issues throughout his career. By halftime, players need a break, thats why there is a half. After the half its kind of a marathon to the finish and which team will have the more tired legs.

Lower level teams really show this. Defense breaks down and if you are fresher, it can lead to goals.

Subs can be a huge impact now.

Yeah fatigue is super important in Football and an important attribute to look at in this game, and just noticing which of your players get tired as your playing. It also could be your play style and that player might just not have the fitness to do what you want him to do.

or do you want to start the guy that gets tired or do you want him to come on as a super sub late in the game when everyone else is tired since you know hes gonna be dead after 60 minutes if you start him? hmmmmm questions questions lolol

I actually LOVE this as it makes (along with form arrows) have to change your lineup and strategy from game to game.

I've started Claudio Pizarro in some matches, but since he's 37 he fatigues pretty quickly and is usually done at about the hour-mark. So some games I leave him on the bench and start someone else depending on opponent, match-ups, form arrows.

It's realism like this that makes PES tops!

Works for me. I mainly wanted to make sure that it wasn't something that I was simply doing.(as I am coming from a Fifa background) I love that it forces me to use my bench, was just concerned about injuries once I fire up ML. I am a huge PSG fan so I shouldn't have any issues mixing and matching starting lineups with all of our depth.

Upon thinking about it, I just realized that I apparently attack through my right side a lot, so that is probably why all of those guys are very tired. I might have to swap the positions of a few guys with more stamina(i.e Blaise) so I don't run down other players so quickly.

It's usually - Di Maria, Serge, Pastore and 1-2 other people that are exhausted by the start of the 2nd half.
