Realism is a very ambiguous term when it comes to sport video games. Everyone’s interpretation is different.

Think about it. In real life, we don’t have numbers for our stamina.

But, I could tell you the reason why I put Stamina at 45 while keeping Fatigue Rate at 50. When I’m playing a game, and running plays, the player’s energy bar varies greatly. If I had a really tough defensive possession against the CPU, some players might be drained from that possession, so when I get back on offense and run in transition, I will try to score: say I pass the ball to Kevin Durant, but his energy bar is blinking red. I will hold the ball and begin running a play. But say, if I passed it to someone else, say James Harden on the fast break, his energy could have been pretty full due to less energy exertion on defense; I would try to score the ball quickly, depending on the scenario. It just brings a whole new element of strategy. It feels realistic to me.
