Fatigue

HRBaker · 03-20-2019, 11:55 AM

I'm curious for opinions...

Would it be helpful if the game gave us some indication of how quickly field players tire? If your interested in trying to give them enough rest - is it enough to just say replace him if he's tired? OR would it be better to know he basically gets tired every 6 games, or 10 games, etc.

I'm not sure if the game could make an internal calculation based on it's player info - but that would be helpful I think, especially when your in the higher levels and trying to tweak every little thing you can.

I would just like an option in the player strategy to set a % which you consider "tired." Like if I want to bench someone when he's at 90% or less, the game doesnt consider that tired but setting just a certain # of games doesnt work since I dont want to bench my starter after a couple off days.

It's too hard to tell overall. It depends on when your off-days lie, and most importantly, what mix of LH/RH starters you face (if you have players set to start differently).

In PT 1, I watched my players closely as I acquired them until I got a sense when that player at that position started to tire. Whether it is true or not, some players/positions seem to me to tire faster/slower than others. I then adjusted my backups to keep any player from starting with a tired pct. I think 100% rested players perform much better so I will keep doing it this way. If I am right in theory or not is of no consequence because I am right in personal managerial comfort zone.

Edit: it is tricky with the LH-RH variance in games but many times there are days and days with no LH starter. Platoon players that face LH only pitchers obviously only rarely may need a rest day.
