On fatigue in the game:

In all of the OOTP versions I've played (I started on 5), fatigue has the most effect in two areas: power and fielding.

So, again IME, someone like an Ichiro Suzuki who is a purely singles hitter won't see much of a drop in offensive production, save for a slight drop in slugging %, but someone like a Albert Pujols won't do nearly as often what you're paying him to; hit the ball out of the yard.

The fatigue effect on defense matters by position, I've found, and it isn't too much different as the normal differences by position. What I mean is a CF who is known for patroling both gaps won't get to nearly as many when he is tired, but a 1B who is tired probably won't see to much of a dip in his glovework.
