Progressive Fatigue AI Logic

[thudias]

So its been determined the logic in franchise mode is that the AI goes fully padded practices every team, every week in franchise mode. This results in players on AI teams disappearing by week 13. So until a patch comes out to help balance the AI practices which hopefully scales back the progressive fatiguing of players I turned the feature off. Now I'm seeing a bigger problem where the entire league has become unbalanced with over powered players. Does anyone have a solution for this? No fights just looking for a real solution.

Turn it off

Turning off progressive fatigue may create XP imbalances. If you go this route you’ll want to look into adjusting/lowering XP sliders.

For offline, the other option is to take control of all 32 teams and manage their weekly prep each week. That can be a hassle. Plus, there are several offline franchise bugs with stats; game stats and sim stats, that need to be patched ASAP.

Another offline franchise option that I have not tested would be to take control of all 32 coaches week 1 or 2 and go thru each and set their weekly prep to something other than full contact/pads and some hybrid positional rotations. If these setting stick after you retire a coach, in theory you would need to only do this once per year, per team assuming they stick like formation subs. But as mentioned I have not actually tried this.

This game is a mess, im sure they'll fix it, just a matter of when.

How much would you consider turning XP sliders down? Like just a little bit? Or down to 25 or so?

Note that if you adjust the fatigue setting anything different (higher or lower) than 50 then there is no fatigue during practice.

This seems to be a major issue to fix.

The AI doesn't manage it properly and has star players miss full games.
It doesn't seem to work properly for human players. I had a HB miss the whole 2nd half of a game. I switched my training for HBs to focus on the backups.



Players still miss games though when the training fatigue shows as green. The interface doesn't seem to show their status correctly.
If there is cumulative fatigue over the course of the season, we can't actually see it.

Fatigued players shouldn't be a binary in/out. They should play but already be fatigued.

Dude….no offense but that is completely false. The fatigue slider controls in-game fatigue rates and has nothing to do with practice fatigue rates. The intensity and week to week progression of practice intensity is what drives the practice fatigue levels which carry into the game....then the fatigue slider controls how much slower or faster they fatigue in the actual game.
