Sorry about the bump, but my question had gone almost a full day without being addressed while a number of other posts had been answered. You'll notice that a response came within 15 minutes of my bump, and I have to wonder if I would have been answered without it.

(In other words, I question whether or not my bump was entirely a needless post since I didn't think anyone was going to answer)

But sorry...I won't do it again


Concerning the engine....like I said, it isn't that big of a problem since it affects everyone equally, but it would be more true to the game for the coach to try and make sure his starters (or whoever is playing best) are fresh enough to play at the end of games. Especially since the engine already seems to pull players in foul trouble to conserve them for the end of games.

bump...looking for a response to my question


Do not bump, please.

Do we get a TILT warning like on a pinball machine?

I can assure you the best players are being put in... where best is defined as who is the most effective at that moment in the game... this might not be the starter however if the starter is too tired, or too ineffective due to foul trouble. I rather see this as the primary benefit to having a higher stamina rating, and don't want to make the AI too smart so that being in good shape doesn't affect the game as much.

True, however even the worst coach in the history of the sport knows enough to pull out his best players so that they can have enough to play when they are most needed.

Have you ever watched a basketball game where the coach pulls 3 starters with 3 minutes to go with a 3 point lead? Usually they would sit early in the fourth instead correct? Stamina would still have an effect because their total time on the floor would still be limited.

It is the same philosophy as pulling a player who is in foul trouble. You are saving them for when they are most needed on the court. It should be reasonable to do the same with fatigue.
