Players being tired

metball4 · 09-06-2002, 04:59 PM

What determines if a play is going to be tired or not? I see my bes player Vlad hardly gets tired. I see my catcher needs a break once a week. And i see my CF getting tired alot..also my 1b

So what determines this?

It is a random, hidden rating that all players have. Some get tired more quickly than others, there is no way to "improve" a player in this area. Also the only way to know which gets tired quicker is just to observe how often they get tired.

Doesn't position also play into this? The catcher will get tired quicker than an infielder, the infielder quicker than the outfielder.

Does anybody know if baserunning is a factor? If I have my rabbit swiping 100 bags a year will he get tired quicker than if he only goes for 40?

Position was talked about but not sure if it actually plays a role or not.

Seems to me that players tend to get tired more often at the end of the season. Is this my imagination.. or is that programmed in also Steve?

Fatigue is a mysterious and hidden element as Steve alluded. I have a catcher who gets tired if I play him more than 10-11 games in a row (app.) while I have a shortstop (50-60SB/year) that never has been tired - that I've seen.

I've played some long long extra inning games and figured that the next day might find some tired players - given the schedule often packs those days together - but no, nobody. Even relief pitchers I thought sure would prove no use had _some_ ability to throw up a few pitches.

The mystery is its ultimate impact, like so many elements of this game, and whether to _trust_ it for today's performance. I go with the idea that a manager does what he has to do. Simple.

I've seen tired players hit triples, tired pitchers throw several strike outs in a row, a player with cold streaks hit some of their best games of the week. Go figure.

Ive noticed my C, and CF get tired more often. This is in 3 differnt leagues, and many solo leagues. Was this programed in, or am i just paranoid?

Catchers do indeed get fatigued more often.. that is intentional. I am not aware of any adjustment for CFs.
