Position players are not getting tired...

[LinkyWinky]

I set fatigue to high, and my position players are still at 100% health. They show no sign of being tired. Whats happening?

I am not sure I set mine to high and they get tired starting about 4 or 5 days, I think it could still be a little higher though, and it seems everyone gets tired at once sometimes

Could be that there have been enough days off in the schedule for you so far. A single day off generally restores position players, though they will wear down over the course of the season, even with days off. Also, if you have been doing any platooning, that makes all the difference in the world as to whether anyone wears down.

OTOH, there might be problem. You'd have to provide a bit more information about where you are in your season to figure that out.

I'm 5 games into the season in the Korean League so thats probably it. They have lots of days off. It would just be lame if no one ever got tired because of that :/

Why would it be lame if they have "lots of days off?"

Cuz my bench would never get used.

The reason guys get tired is they play every day, 162 games in 172 or so days.

If they have a day off every 2 days or something they won't be getting tired... it'd turn into an even weaker version of basketball where they play twice a week and whine about being exhausted all the time.

Well...basketball is slightly more strenuous that baseball.

I have no problem with that... but imagine the scenario the other guy wants... for these guys to get tired even though they have a lot of off days... baseball is tiring not because of the physicality of the sport but the constant pace that it maintains throughout the season.

Basketball players aren't tired because they play 2 games a week, they're tired because they run for most of the time they do play. Baseball is tiring because they play every day, but spend most of it standing or sitting around.

Are you manageing or simming?

If you play out the game as I do in one league you can assign a new line up before evey game and put in bench players, I do this a lot, bench the cold guy or the one that upset me the day before You can also sub in the middle of the game usually if I am losing or winning big I put in the people that do not get to play/

If you manage the rosters and sim your games, you can put your guys in back up and have the start every few games, you can do this when playing too but I find too many backups will play on the same day, and I lack the control of changeing them before the game and as I play. you can also assign them as defensive sub in the depth chart, then the game will sub them in late in the game when the game is all but over.

If you are letting your manager control all that you just have to hope he knows what he is doing and he plays the backups from time to time

I'm managing. Even though I can change lineups and stuff, its just weird how my guys are still at 100% health. Doesn't make sense.

Make sure you're playing with the injury setting on current-day (high). The day-to-day injuries will simulate the sort of thing you're talking about - where a guy's shoulder or arm is sore and a day off isn't going to help.

Otherwise, I would expect professional athletes who aren't actually "injured" to re-energize with a day off and be at 100% health for the next series or two.

IRL, sometimes in blow out games older vets will just get two or three innings off and that's considered enough of a rest for them to be able to recharge.
