My team has a pretty low average stamina, and my best player has atrocious stamina. Is it worth training stamina?

Also, my best player averages a 7.5 rating or so. Should I expect his rating to spike with better stamina?

Is Rating a good indicator of who to start? How highly do others value rating?

Thanks

If it's atrocious, you probably want to train it up one or more levels.

Usually, training it one time per season is good enough.

Your rating might raise with better stamina. Especially if its that bad. Further you'd be able to run faster tactics.

With atrocious stamina you should definitely do some training on it.

A good time for stamina training is the allstar break, as you can only play two games that week. Playoffs/offseason is a good time as well.

i have no problems run fast tactics with bad stamina in the past, in my eyeys stamina was overated ;) I would wait with training, till you had bad trainings minutes or a two game week.

I agree. There is no evidence that fast paced tactics need more stamina. The only tactic that seems to need more stamina is full court press.

good that you say that, i missed this "extra" because i don't like the fullcourt press so much, but with the right opponent it could be a powerful weapon but it is hard to find those opponent.

I had noticed a tendency for my team to start strong, sometimes very strong, and then tail off -- my last game I had a 30 point lead at half and nearly lost (part of it was my coach's insistence that he play my second string the 4th period). The pattern of a flat start to the second half I was hoping could be rectified with a dose or two of stamina increases (which I had not tended to for well over a season).

I had figured -- and my team's performance seemed to support -- a more important criteria was "game shape".

Anyway, I am in a panic because I will be facing several very good,run and gun teams this year and although I have a decent defense I am worried about being run out of the building the second half.

How off base is all this reasoning?

I used to run more full court press with lower-stamina players and I also noticed that I would lose a lot of ground late in games. I've trained stamina a couple of times, and now that my star players have decent stamina across the board and I don't play full court press, I tend not to kick away games late anymore.

Of course, playing TIE means that your guys won't hold leads well either, and it partially depends on the team you're playing against and whether you're at home. But it's definitely a bad idea to ignore stamina.
