Hey I said I wasn't gonna play a league game until the Fifty and Konex fixed the fatigue thing. I can barely even compete in these games with my excellent skills, I don't need all my players to be in the 50's the whole game to make it even more fun.
As soon as the fatigue is fixed a bit I can play.
You guys are exaggerating and the sliders have been adjusted. Fifty's going to lower it ANOTHER 5 points. Have you guys even played a game since the adjustment? Are you guys reading the thread? And even if that was the case, which it's not, we'd both be at a disadvatage. My big guys get tired faster than anyone and Odom has a smoker's lungs in the game.
Rorschach said:
Seriously. It's not like we've got some deadbeat commishes telling you guys to play NOW while we sit back in Hawaii and don't address any of the issues. I've changed it once, I'm about to change it again, and I'm willing to keep changing it until it's PERFECT. But I'm not gonna play game after game myself to test them out. It won't be ideal, but it'll certainly be playable today.
I changed fatigue rate from 45 to 40. Heck, I could be wrong and that could mean the opposite of what it logically sounds like, but I think it's a step in the right direction. Don't be scurred to try it out. I'm not your lab rat!
It was due to the update, then it was changed to compensate for said update. Read the rest of the thread. ;bCloudy said:I missed your post and I thought the changes were due to the update :lol. My guys have been tiring faster than normal but I don't abuse my stars so it wasn't a huge problem. You should set it back to where it was though

ChrisJames said:My game against Wellie wasn't bad, fatigue wise. Yeah, it drained faster than usual, but if you sub your guys wisely you shouldn't have too much of a problem. That's just based on my game against Wellie though, it may be different for other people. Either way you should just play your game, just about everyone else has.
True if you want a season 3 then play your games
For you it wasn't but for me it was pretty bad. Because of the way Denver plays I run up and down the court more on fastbreaks, so my guys were done in the first quarter. I also don't have the depth that you have, I have Johnson, and Hodge as potential scorers on the bench, but that's it.

Does anyone want to play a scrimmage game to test out the new fatigue settings (6 min. qtrs.)?
Well, maybe later tonight, after 24.

Well I don't know if that was a one time thing or if the patch fixed the "Ray Allen can't shoot" glitch but I just shot 63% in my game against Ror.
Finally Ray was hitting jumpers. The only thing I kinda did different is I didn't look to create shots with him as much this game. I took Fifty's advice and shot off passes and drew defense away from him so he had better looks.
Well here's hoping this can continue. I would love to keep using Ray and the Sonics if I could figure out how to use them in an "every game" situation.

It shows that I played Malley a couple days ago too. It's not a big deal though, it should just be a game that you've played earlier in the season, but has a different date marked as the played date for whatever reason.

Just finished a 6 min. qtr. game with DM. The fatigue is still a little out of whack, but I'm pretty sure it was worse before. I think it could use some more tweaking though :/
-DCX should be around soon, he usually gets online around this time.

I read that on the official forums, someone was pointing it out. I didn't notice it but I've only played one post-update game. I'll take your word for it. We're at 40 now and if more complaints come in, 35 is where it'll go. But people should be resting their stars sometimes..
One thing's for sure, it'll be as good as we can get it by the time playoffs start.
League advancing tomorrow @ 11-12 eastern (11 if no one's about to play)

Don't change the fatigue settings at all anymore. Ror nailed it. They fatigue quicker, but now sitting them for a couple of minutes or calling a timeout actually helps them regain energy quicker/to a greater extent. When I called a timeout before I would be lucky if all my players gained two points of energy. I think in our game tonight I saw one guy go up 5 during a timeout.
I liked the fatigue, I didn't change my rotation at all from what it was before the update, subbed people out at roughly the same time and such.

Yeah it was pretty bad. That was only 6 min. qtrs., it would have really sucked with 8 min. I think we should move it down a bit, personally. It's not like you can just call a timeout everytime they're tired; you only get 6 timeouts.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
I swear I just kept subbing and subbing and subbing.
I'm all for being able to use your bench,but dammmm I might aswell let the cpu sub for me,it can do it a hellva a lot faster than I can.
You cant even get into a groove with your best players cause they die every 2 mins,need to sit for what seems like a year and they come back and lose fatigue just as fast.

I used auto subs for the first half and I was like **** this,Dm is going to blow me away if I dont get JJ/Hito or Hwaor back in the game.
Manually doing it is such a bitch now and its not helping anyway.

Matrix said:
Wow really? I find the manual subs are quite easy. About 4 minutes into the game my PF and C need a breather. With about a minute left in the 1st my SF and PG go out. At the break everyone gets a rest and Ray is usually still at around 84. I'll play him another minute or so depending on the pace of the game. I then bring my SF back and put my backup SF at SG so Ray can rest. About halfway through the second quarter I can bring back my starters (including Ray) and he will have high 80's or low 90's. I play that lineup till halftime and then pretty much rinse and repeat in the second half. I'm not sure what you guys do but I didn't find the fatigue an issue at all.
I sub players out when they get to 80. I can usually get my bigs out at around 82. I will call a timeout if I can't get a player out before they hit like 77 or around there.

What I meant was manual subbing is easy and what I did before this fatigue thing became an issue cause it doesnt matter when I sub my players out,they are always dead tired so fast.

True do you want to play our game tonight after the week is advanced? I'm going to be studying for an exam most of the night so I could use a break later.

Hey Fifty, instead of the whole fly by night IM thing about the league, maybe you can help me out. As you can see:
No invite for the new league. I checked the in game stuff and nothing either. We had this same problem before and Konex had to send me the invite. Is there another commish?

Wellie: if you are looking for the invite for the fantasy league it should show up on your 2k homepage (online home I think). If not then I'm no help.
Is there gonna be a commish around at 11:00 est? Jobber and I were hoping to make play our game then. Will that work??
Chris: tomorrow would be better. One thrashing a night is all I can take.

I don't want to have Fantasy talk in here but this is an exception:
If you weren't in the first league, ignore this message!
long story short.....the first league wouldn't let us do a fantasy draft.
