Energy Drains Way Too Fast

[Mat8005]

I play online, and the energy drains way too fast this year. I'm all for using substitutions, but the big men fatigue like they are playing a game in the middle of the Sahara Desert. After about 2 and a half minutes, DeMarcus Cousins only has 3 of his 5 energy bars.

I hope they patch it up. I'm babysitting my substitutions all game because of how much the energy drains.

Too much fatigue is much better than too little. And are you abusing the sprint button?

Yeah you must just be holding the sprint button the whole time... I did that's first few games. Only use it for fast breaks and when you need to be quick, like first steps.

lay off the sprint button, speed demon.

Laying off sprint also gives you better control of the player on both sides of the ball.

I started an Online Association with 12 min quarters, and my bigs are pretty much spent 3 minutes in. So I'll sub in another big around the 8 or 9 minute mark, and he's dead in three minutes or so, too. So 7 minutes into the game, and all my starting and bench big men are tired.

It's pretty ridiculous considering I don't sprint with them, and my coach sliders for Offensive Tempo and Fast Break are at 50, so I don't understand why they lose most of their stamina within 3-4 minutes. Adjusting to sliders for fatigue and stamina in OA's don't seem to make a difference, so that's cool.

In the real NBA, starting big men will often play entire quarters without subbing out, and it's not like they are dying of exhaustion by the time the quarter ends.

I've noticed the cpu abuses the sprint button. I always try to switch to one of my bigs when getting back on d....and almost every time their energy bar is drained from sprinting back, usually needlessly.

Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee fatigue the way it is , do you know how annoying it is to play against Lebron , Kobe full turbo ALL GAME LONG ?

I like the way fatigue is done this year. Forces u to use your time outs when in the past time outs never really mattered to me. Also forces u to use your bench instead of having your starting 5 in the whole game.

Just gotta know how to manage their minutes. After three minutes call a time out if you have to. I've notice much of it has to do with holding down the Sprint button when using big men. Also, if your going up against an opponent that has the bruiser Sig, your energy will get drained quick.

Makes for a chess match and that's what I want when it comes to online competition.

I use to think the same. However, I have found that its actually perfect, and the timing comes out perfect. I play 12 min quarters in online association and my starting big man plays around 30 minutes a game. He really can't get away with any more, and I like it that way. I am glad 2k finally has made subs necessary.

Re: Energy Drains Way Too Fast

Where is the fatigue adjustment where you can lower or higher? did they get rid of that too?

Re: Energy Drains Way Too Fast

I don't get all these " I love Fatigue now" posts. It's clearly broken in Online Association that is not a debatable issue. In-game if you check and players stamina attribute, they are all at 50 after a game or two. That is a glitch and needs to be fixed. period.

30 mins? Try 20 and only 8-10 of those without a gatorade symbol. If you got 30 mins out of a player at least half of those were gassed ineffective minutes, more if you got agressive with the turbo. Sliders do nothing to fix it. I am all for LeBron turbo cheesers being punished, but OA is unplayable right now due to this issue. Athletes don't get gassed walking up the court for 3 mins.

Re: Energy Drains Way Too Fast

if you play on simulation, then yeah your energy drains, on default it's a lot better.
