Effects of fatigue

Nantwich FC · 14-09-2007, 11:07 PM

I've seen the unrealistic fatigue discussed alot, but what are the in-game effects of fatigue on players? What difference does it make if I allow a player whos fatigue level is red to continue playing?

He runs slower and his shots/passings aren´t that accurate and powered

How about the chances of injury, though? I mean, it seems that you can safely play a very fatigued player if you have to without worrying that you'll lose him through injury.

Biggest effect of fatigue seems to be on morale - a player that starts a game fatigued will take a big hit to their morale. This is why it is almost impossible to keep midfielders and outside defenders happy (unless you are the kind of player that is happy winning 98% of your games and scoring a ridiculous quantity of goals in the process)

OK, that sounds about right.

Now, what about pressing 'B' (xbox) to tackle. Does pressing the tackle button also cause fatigue?

Difficult to say for certain, but IME no. The primary cause of fatigue seems to be sprinting, but there are obviously also position related factors in play because no matter what you do with your strikers or central defenders during the match they don't seem to get as tired as the midfielders and outside defenders.
