If a player plays 100+ minutes what will happen?
will he play worse the next week?
will his training be affected?
thanks

his Skilltraining is normal, but his game shape will probadly drop.

and what will happen when his game shape drops then?

he play worst the next week, and maybe the one after it too ;) With profient form i see drops to respektable and strong, but that ain't much data i have for it because i avoid to let player to play that much.

so then how important is game shape?

i assume that game shape allows a guy to play to full capabilites so he might be a great shooter with .500 average at proficient game shape. but with average game shape he will just be so-so at .400 overage?

i think gameshape is pretty important, but i got problems to give for that concret numbers, i will probadly think the shooting percentage won't drop that much, but he would make more turnovers get less rebound, his matchup would score more etc.

Thats are alot more peaces, which amkes it important at the end.

His game shape will probably drop.

If you keep your players between 50 and 80 minutes, over time they will either have strong or proficient form. At that level it seems to be pretty random. If they are strong, they will be strong or proficient the next week, and if they are proficient, they will be proficient or strong.

Go outside that range, and you may see drops, especially if a player consistently is outside the range. A player might go 35 minutes and stay strong, but a 2nd week and you are sure of a drop. I had a player go 102 minutes because of a 2 OT game, and he dropped from strong to average.

A player will perform a little weaker. He may also have trouble getting playing minutes because he gets substituted out because of his game shape. That is where it is more likely to have an effect on training - because of low game shape, a player might get less than 48 minutes, and not get full training, and his game shape might not build up.
