If you're good at managing your minutes and did have to go to a game 3 then you could end up with full training. I won in 2 games so it's not a full week for me.

not even as a carryover for future game shape updates?

As game shape usually considers more than just the past week, do the minutes this week have any effect on future game shape calculations? Or is this a secret?


I assume that, based on his correction in the thread, the minutes this week will affect future game shape calculations.

I also assume that he won't pop back into the thread to clarify. :)

Then why would BB-Charles take the time to clarify his position?

I'm confused by your post and the rules.

From your post:

As usual, minutes this week only matter for this week.


From the rules:

Players who do not play much each week tend to lose focus and their Game Shape will be sloppy. Players who play too much in a week will get tired and their Game Shape will also be low-quality. These changes are gradual, and will build up over a few weeks' time.


If the rules are correct, then it seems to me that the number of minutes played this week will have some effect on the game shape of our players over the next few weeks.

And if I'm interpreting the rules incorrectly, then I'm not sure why I even scheduled a scrimmage for tonight - I'm training stamina this week, and by playing a scrimmage, I am risking injuries to my players. The only benefit of playing the scrimmage, as far as I can see, is that my players may gain experience from it.

I think that each new season everything about game shape begins from square 1. So the number of minutes your players play this week will indeed affect their game shape next week, as game shape is a gradual accumulation. Therefore, scheduling a scrimmage is a good idea to get those players who have not yet reached the 48 minute threshhold to that point and to hopefully get your starters and important players to the 50-70 minute "optimum" for game shape increase. I put "optimum" in quotes because I don't think anyone is certain exactly how the game shape calculator works but I have seen many people posit that somewhere in the 50-70 minute range is best.

I don't think these minutes will have anything to do with even that future game shape.

I mean, I didn't play anyone any special minutes and I wouldn't have played a scrimmage at all if I wasn't collecting flags.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

Alright. It seems illogical that game shape calculating would start in week 2, but you know more than I do. I suppose I can see them giving a buffer week for new teams and teams that only played once etc. Since I training team stuff it makes sense for me to schedule a scrimmage to get as many players 48 minutes as possible.
