Wish there was a slider for positional player stamina

[Chai2112]

Drives me crazy how so many players have to sit so often because they're out of energy. In real life, a lot of players have only had 1 or 2 off days since the start of the season. In the game, those same players need to sit every 8-10 games. It's crazy. I wish there was a slider that would control this, but there isn't (right?). Any ideas on what to do? Should I go into each player's attributes and move their stamina slider (that's the one, right?) all the way to 100? Thanks.

For position players turn up their durability...

I've heard several long-time show vets say that they simply play their players at a realistic rate regardless of their stamina/energy level being low.

Personally, when I've tried this, I've seen increased errors in the field. I'm not sure if I've noticed decreased batting performance, but fielding does seem to take a hit with fatigue, so it's kind of up to you if you're willing to live with lower performance in the field to keep your players' played games totals in line with real life.

I just give in and rest the guys when they're at 50%, or I take certain guys out during blowouts. And if I have a defensive replacement, I utilize that guy to give starters a breather in late innings when defense is at a premium.

Yeah, defense might suffer more than batting. I don't know if I've really noticed a lot of difference, and I tend to "abuse" my players, especially my best ones like Sano, Harper, Davis, fictional studs, etc.

My carryover team has a lot of good defense, so maybe they can fight through it better. My new MLB16 team - they get erratic in the field at times anyway, so I can never tell if it's fatigue or just being themselves.

I usually wait till about 25% or the bench coach says so and so need a rest and I will dh them a game and/or then give them the next day off.
I try to remember this is a video game and no matter what you do, there will always be human intangibles that this game can not create.

Thanks for the responses. I guess I'll just try to push my players through and hope they don't get injured as result. In terms of there potentially being more errors due to low energy, I'm ok with that, as it is somewhat realistic. The game just really needs to add a global slider for "User Batter Stamina" or something.

And/or a rating for endurance/stamina for position players.

Ideally, both.

I find keeping an eye on all of the players stamina adds a layer of managerial responsibility to the game which I enjoy. I'm usually planning 2/3 days in advance and look for weaker pitchers or lefty/lefty match ups to give guys a rest. In game I use double switches and pinch hit/pinch run a lot. If guys only play 6/7 innings they often end up lasting until the next break day.
