Alternatively, if a player has the ability to play 40 minutes a game, but can only play 35 minutes a game because he'll lose game shape anyway, what's the point of increasing his stamina?


While on one level this logic makes sense, from a game balance standpoint it would just encourage teams to load up with 7 or 8 players maximum and train stamina all the time, so that they can play their stars 80 minutes a week with little repercussion.

I don't understand game shape in this way.

It doesn't only cover the physical aspect but everything that participate in a player's performance.

A player can be on fire for a few games and there are no obvious reasons for that. Or the reasons are so complex, it's very difficult to understand and explain why. It's not only the physical but also the emotional, mental state that allows to put off a performance. The random part emulates that : personal problems, small ankle ache, a sunny day, a week of optimism and extra energy...
We can roughly control match fitness through game time, game shape is match fitness + emotional/mental state.
So if stamina has to be linked to game shape, it should and would have a small impact but the suggestion has merit.

cuz maybe his dog died or his wife left him and took the kids and his favorite pickup with her.

I thought this was a basketball sim not a country song? ;)

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

I think GS also could be thought of as minor injuries. Guys can be athletic and injury prone. They can be unathletic but never get injured (talking RL comparison)...the idea as other mention is that GS is more than just physically being tired or fresh. Its their overall mental and physical condition...its also HIGHLY random as I have discovered. They put in a factor of just guys being hot or cold...cuz maybe his dog died or his wife left him and took the kids and his favorite pickup with her.

I can roll with this.

If it turns out that anything more than 38 minutes per game leads to progressively higher risk of fatigue (reflected in loss of game shape), then I can live with that. I'm not bothered that much by random fluctuations in game shape for the things you mentioned. It depends on the amount of additional risk as minutes increase.

Having another thought... are all minutes equal? Are TIE minutes, Normal minutes, and CT minutes all the same for game shape purposes? I would think they should be treated differently, if they aren't already.
