Stamina

[tsweezy]

As it stands right now, the effects of stamina seem very opaque to users. I can’t tell when it has an effect on a player or anyway to interact with that. I also think it’s still a tad unrealistic that for most teams and most positions (barring blowouts) the starters play every snap of the year.

 

suggestion: in addition to whatever performance effects stamina has, include a player rotation aspect next year. If players have low stamina, they’re more likely to be subbed out when it gets below whatever threshold (so worse stamina = fewer snaps per game). Obviously position dependent, so many QBs play every snap and if they just have terrible stamina they get a bit worse on long drives and at the end of games but there’s not much difference between C and A stamina, while DTs have a much higher chance of being subbed out for 1-3 plays to recover stamina if they are below average.

 

could also include a gameplanning section for rotations where you can decide how early you want to rotate players: if you want fresh bodies, or if you want to run your starters until they’re absolutely trashed (and hopefully position specific but yes that’s a big lift)
