When it comes to selling a guy, yes that little bit matters, I was planning on putting both of them on the market and since I cant show people hes a 3.9 dont worry about it, yes that loss bothers me.
Also, how does even a semi pro athlete after getting a good workout in in a week, turn around and lose any gains. I played college athletics and believe me until the very end of the season if you are training right you dont fall off until after the season is over. It just seems like the point drop in stamina is too random and theres no way to figure out when its coming, it just all of a sudden hits.
Forget the game engine, I dont see how a real athlete that doesnt ride pine 90% of the time or is a scrimmage hero would lose stam over the course of the season, thats an offseason kind of occurance.
