I hired a massage doctor (ok, he is level 4) but I feel like form got considerably worst comparing to former seasons. I dont't know if something in form was changed by the BBs, but what I am sure is that my massage trainer have been kind of useless until now. I am thinking seriously of going back to a doctor level 5 without any skills.

it helped once I guess. Player with 94 minutes didn't drop. Game shape of my players is genreally ok , but this week I experienced a drop after 74 minutes played. So it looks that the while thing is not much reliable. At least in respectable-proficient range.

so far i haven't had any real problems with a doctor with massage. it's actually been well worth the money. i have 10 players at strong to proficient game shape and 2 players that don't have good GS because they don't play. my two centers usually get above 90 minutes so i needed the extra boost. this week my center who got 90 minutes hit proficient GS. i have noticed that it does fluctuate but not once has a player dropped below respectable GS. that includes when a player i had hit 120 minutes (due to injuries i had to play him a ton) he only dropped to respectable from strong.

How do you know this? I'm not saying you are wrong just wondering how you came by this piece of information.

I had a player increase his game shape from respectable to strong while playing 84 minutes last week while another player went from proficient to strong while logging 64 minutes.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

This doesn't answer your question specifically, but I think it's worth mentioning the following excerpt 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.


So, a player's game shape one week isn't just determined by his playing time in the previous week. As for the optimal number of minutes, I would guess somewhere in the 48-72 range, but I don't actually know.

Thanks.

I almost never have problems with PT but I was in the BBB this year (got trounced) and had two injuries which have wreaked havoc on my PT rotation.
