 Stamina is affected by match play - obviously - but training doesn't appear to affect stamina at all. I realize that realism isn't always the name of the game, but I'd like to see training have some impact on player stamina. If I practiced five times a week and played matches, I'd be tuckered out - I don't think it's too much to ask to have that happen to our players, to a lesser degree.

I'd imagine this would force some managers to change their training schedules slightly, or incorporate lineup rotation - to actually change strategy on occasion. Just my opinion, may be rubbish. 		21/08/2012 18:59

 If every player in the game trains, it makes no difference between managers. So why make trainings decrease stamina? 22/08/2012 00:48

 That's just it; not every player trains - at least according to which positions benefit from certain trainings. If you're training GKs, it stands to reason that your other fielders won't be training according to that day's schedule. Other activities like running, ball control, etc. impact more players - reducing stamina for those who participated doesn't seem unreasonable. Doesn't have to be a flat value for all activities; more arduous tasks that offer greater increases in ability can be balanced with greater effects on stamina. 22/08/2012 00:54

 I like the idea, it's actually pretty logical and fits into how real life would run. If you're training you should be getting at least a little tired. It would also reward a team that did balanced training as their stamina wouldn't deplete as much.

However, balanced training would make the game go even slower at this point. It'd take forever to get a player to their peak, and there would be a bigger divide between the haves and the have nots.

An interesting addition would be a small loss of fitness for each training, fitness causes stamina to go down a little bit (at least I think it does), so it sort of accomplishes the point, but in a way that also makes the physio a valuable staff member for more than the first week of the season. The biggest problem there is that the physio would need to finish running after training, and there isn't much of a gap between the time training finishes and games begin for some people that they're not sleeping. 		22/08/2012 05:40

This idea has merit. We all love the little complexities (advanced formations, for example) that add up to large differences between teams. This would make me and just about everybody else have to think harder before simply "farming" one position with our trainings. 		22/08/2012 12:05

 You guys forgot something....Making stamina decrease will not stop "farming" with junior players, but I guess if your aim is to start with seniors, it might definitely change habits.

But again guys, in real life, players may train intensively all week and relax before the "big" game but in striker manager, it's different as there is a game nearly everyday.

 Re: illex's suggestion that fitness should decrease when players are trained - why isn't fitness affected for players that you DON'T train or play consistently? If you have players who don't get much time on the pitch, they probably aren't in peak shape - it would finally use the fitness gauge for something other than decreasing by 40 points at the start of each season, never to be heard from again after a few physio sessions. 22/08/2012 16:27

I think he means that if you never do defender training, your defenders' fitness should decrease. 		22/08/2012 22:14
