big men getting fatigued too easily

[DemonDeaconz]

I'm playing an association with the Bobcats with 7 minute quarters and I took Haywood out after a minute passed because his fatigue went to four bars within a minute. I went to go put him in with a minute left in the quarter and he was down to three bars. Anyone know why this is happening.

Also, on my Hornets season I can only play Davis and Anderson about half a game because they tire so easily. I don't even think I'm sprinting with them too much

Uh.. Then lower the sliders?

Easy answer, for some reason 2k decided to downgrade every big men stamina rating in 2k13, most of them are in the 80's 70's and even 60's. You'll find guys like Aldridge (who was among the leaders in MPG the season prior the lockout with 40mpg) with just a mere 83 stamina rating, while most guards and small forwards are in the 90's range.

Therefore big men get tired way too quickly in this game. Is it "sim" that LaMarcus Aldridge gets tired before let's say , Jason Kidd just because Aldridge is a PF and Kidd a PG? I don't think so

This needs to be fixed with a roster update

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. Not all big men have stamina ratings that mirror guards in real life, but there are some who can play some big minutes and I think that got handled poorly this year.

On top of the big men losing energy quickly, it takes them a really long time to regain it. It's a real bummer in Team-Up matches if the CPU controls a big, because they'll sometimes have the Gatorade symbol next to their name for an entire half.

I don't wanna lower the sliders because I like the pace in which the guards fatigue. I don't wanna change the bigs fatigue rating, because I will be playing online sometimes and that won't work

Also, besides the stamina rating, there are two more variables:
1. Fatigue in OA overaffects the stamina when playing back to backs
2. More than a few bigs have the bruiser sig skill, which deducts stamina with every contact

Going by 2K history and trend, if you are expecting a solution ... dont ... is too much of a work to adjust the rating (and/or sig skill) of every big man ... for offline you got the means to adjust to your liking ... for online, just dont use turbo, avoid unnecessary contact, sub more often and call timeouts more frequently.
