Penalty for playing at 0%

Rosco Peabody · 04-01-2018, 09:12 PM

I usually sub my guys out when they get down near 50% exhaustion, but I noticed that the AI two games in a row has played two guys who are near 0% exhaustion.

Is there any performance penalty for that? Is there a higher risk of injury?

yes and yes

some RL managers run people into the ground, some do not. i'd hope its the same in the game too - proper variety of strategies similar to RL.

check the depth chart.. is it "unless tired" or worse?

i forget he exact lables, but there's a step below "unless tired"/"if tired" etc that one will run them down until they are forced to take a game off. it may not be 0% but it's in that realm.. 1%? 2%? it's a specific and predictable threshold, whatever it is

what's best for your team's record may or maynot be best for the future health of those players. it could be the best route to the most wins, is what i mean.. really depends significantly on the replacement and relative to the loss of %success due to fatigue factored in too, of course.

Sometimes a manager cannot help having to throw a guy out there who is exhausted. You cannot pitch all of your bench fielders.

iirc, definitely the second and possibly the first.
