I think the developers mixed up a bit in that field.

There are two separate fields one is stamina and one if game shape, most of the times when a player is injured he can still keep his stamina, for example if a player break a finger he can't play, nevertheless he can run and keep his stamina, what he should loose is game shape.

Also as the rules says, there is nothing between stamina and minutes played, to run around the building players do not need game time.

So, stamina should drop during time if you don't train it, but has nothing to do with game time.

100% agree

developers dont want managers to just train once before the season. They want the managers to train stamina regularly.
I dont go 100% with the developers (cause in real liefe 90% of the stamina training IS done during the offseason) but at least I understand their reason. However your solution is much better!!!

stamina should drop during time if you don't train it, but has nothing to do with game time.

this way it is much more realistic.
Secondly it is very annoying to train stamina for the whole team, only because one single player needs to, cause he had an 4 week injury .

This is close to the conclusion that I have come to as well, and it's a mystery that it's not obvious for the BB-team?

Completely agree, particularly with the part in bold.

One other thing that really bothers me about this is that the stamina drops may effect BuzzerBeater's ability to retain new managers. As a newbie, you are given a team with 18 players, normally on the day of the training update, and none of your players has played a single minute. The training update takes place, and all of your players drop in stamina. During the next 7 days, you have to figure out which players are worth keeping, and try to give each of them 24 or more minutes (I've been playing for better than a season, and I still can't figure out how to get 13 players 24 min/week). Those that don't get 24 minutes will suffer another stamina drop. Reading the rules tells you there is no relation between stamina and game time. You train stamina the next week, and you still have players dropping in stamina. Will you keep playing? How many n00bs do you think will stick with it?

If the developers really think that there needs to be some challenge to maintaining stamina, there are better solutions. First, if stamina must drop as they have currently implemented, there should be a % share of each week's training devoted to stamina, in addition to whatever training is the focus the team. Second, if that option is not available, then CharlesThe2nd has the bast solution:

So, stamina should drop during time if you don't train it, but has nothing to do with game time.

And this should be a very gradual drop, which could be tweaked to be less gradual for a player who doesn't play much at all for weeks on end.

I hope they will give us an answer, or at least their thoughts on the subject.

That's why I take part in this forum ... But the easy way is to let us write more and more messages. Maybe they just lean back and having a good lol-lol-lol? He-he?

The BBs answer threads when they can, but the grand majority of their time is spent working on the site and the game.

If they spent their whole day answering threads and not working on the site, everyone would be very unhappy with the results.

Yes, we know! And we appreciate that. But ringo and Burky and alexis and Unkel and yodenden and Basic and Boogz and all the rest do have a point, and as a matter of fact we like to be or at least I like to be a little rough! Ok? ;)

I do not agree with you, yes the BBs should work on improving the game and not answering messages all day, but, part of the game is the connection with the community. I do not say that they should write a lot, but they should read all messages in here and answer some of them when answer is needed, like in this case.

If the game loses its reality and logic it will die in the end.

I never said that they never have time, but if they feel a comment is necessary, they will make one.

If they commented everytime someone said they should, nothing would ever get done with the game.
