Okay.. so I admit I have been playing my key players a lot this season so as to compete both in my league and the cup. None of three are averaging more than 40 min a game though I don't think. But this week I had several players take a hit in stamina.not only that but my game shape is ass also.. without playing my better players so often I have no chance to compete. If I play them often their stamina.drops.and.I.therefore have no chance to compete. I think player energy is weighted too heavily in this.game... nba players are playing 4-6 games a week sometimes with the same amount of minutes per game.. our players can't handle 3 games? I understand the reasoning for it but it makes it nearly impossible for lower salary teams to move up because they can't afford more than a few high salary players and the ones they can afford suffer from fatigue. And if you want to train stamina you lose out om the chance to improve your players skills...gahhhh

First of all - I think You talk about Game Shape, because it depends of minutes per week. Meanwhile weekly changes of stamina are very little.
Comparition to NBA has no sense. This game is designed in this way that we can play without log every day. More matches would be too many for most of users and I suppose number of users would be decrease very quickly.
So we have 3 matches per week and it's good. And practically it doesn't matter because if we had for example 6 matches per week the same problem would appear, only number of minutes would be different (twice more than now).
Managment of minutes makes game is more interesting so if this factor is be deleted, then game will be worse. And the most important thing - every user has the same problem so chances are equal for everybody. And winner is who is able to solve this problem better in his club.

Which is one of the reasons why some teams choose instead to have a deeper, more balanced roster rather than a few high salary key players and a supporting cast made up of whatever they can afford afterward. It's a deliberate game balance design and how you choose to go about it is entirely up to you! The question is where the reward of having a few star players logging big minutes is superseded by the negative influences on their game shape. The nice thing is that the system is flexible enough to allow you to approach that in whatever manner you see fit, without making any particular strategy the only way to go.

Well you're not in the cup anymore so if you play them 35 minutes or so during both league games and rest them in your scrimmage you should be fine with game shape, and when you are in the cup you have to choose basically 2 games a week for a player to play in if they are playing high minutes. Sometimes to get further in the cup you have to lose a league game by more then you would of or maybe even lose one you would have won. What you should do is since your team is 3-3 you should have thrown the games to the teams that are better then you and saved some of your best players for the cup if you needed them.

Thanks for the input guys.. first.. B.B. king I wasn't suggesting more games be played. I was making the comparisons that they play significantly more games and end up with better stamina and game shape than bb players do playing less games.. brush.. the strategy you mentioned makes sense. I just have 4 different guys w great potential that I have been focusing on. I guess I have to decide if I want to win now at the risk of bad training or train and risk losing.... iwilldominate.. I dis.throw the one game that I knew I couldn't win. I beat the other 2 opponents last season and expected better showings than I got. Otherwise I would have played t.I.e and hopefully still made it to the cup..
