New fatigue penalty for certain players

Buddy after literally one drive both your ends will sit out and not come back in due to fatigue, if you don't see that as an issue then I can't help you

Hyperbole is unnecessary smh. The one time it happened to me, both Rashan and Clay came back in the game (rather) quickly. They were still tired, but nobody is missing a half or game because of this. Stop it.

I'm...defending...it (and I don't know if I'd use that word, but I AM ok with it) because I think that the game should be more realistic. I don't like arcade football. Guys being able to relentlessly rush all game long is not realistic. I love when stuff (weight/position) matters and things have consequences. The nerf to DB blitzing has been long overdue, and if that's ALL they were going for, cool, but I'm fine with LBers being lumped in as well.  The tools to counteract this are in the game, ppl just don't wanna put Second Wind or Recuperation on defensive players. Well, that's on them.

And I still don't see it happening in the run game at all, even to my DBs. I have had Jaire get tired from blitzing, but none of my other DBs have been impacted whatsoever, and that obviously includes the run game.

I don't know how you're not seeing it. Anytime a lineman gets to the second level and touches an LB or DB, I see it, other than Gronk who weighs 900lbs. You must have some heavy ass players or you're being purposely dense.

So you're saying it's realistic for Micah Parsons, TJ watt, and lawrence taylor to have to sit for 2/3 of the game because they're going up against a guy who's a little on the heavy side. This is a very weird hill to die on my man. 💀

Anyone seeing offensive players affected? I had Barry dying after one play, but I haven't seen it again.

Twisting my words is cool. Who do you ever see relentlessly rush all game nonstop? Doesn't happen. Even top tier athletes are human in the end. And now we've gone from one drive to 2/3 of the game. We're still being hyperbolic. No reason for that at all, but y'all love to go nuts to try and make your point.

It will make MCS interesting if they are playing current patch w this non sense

My issue is not with the change itself, it's with the fact that the change is not doing what it is intended to do. The patch notes stated 

• if a defender who is not a dedicated pass rusher having a Power Move and Finesse Move rating below 70 engages in a blocking mismatch where they are outweighed by 90 lbs or more, they will suffer a significant fatigue hit.

This would imply that if my player IE: lawrence taylor has a power move over 70, then this fatigue hit should not affect him. Instead, EA forgot to add the pass rush moves caveat into the game and made the fatigue 100% based on weight. This is why people are saying EA cannot code.

I'm sure they'll figure out a way to use it to their advantage, like always.

So in the summary, EA best company?

Seems more realistic. I’m the nfl smaller guys get tired when they go up against big linemen and I’m sure we all would too. Good job by EA finally making the game better. No nfl team blitzes every play.

Yeah man, all those highlights of LT huffing and puffing on the field. Super realistic. I think it's fair to say this was not what was intended based on the description EA gave... so maybe we shouldn't be praising them for fucking up yet again?

I’m sure subbing out lt for 1 play will make him blue. Yeah EA didn’t fully deliver on the description of the patch note but I’m sure they will fix it if it’s such a big issue. People complaining isn’t gonna change anything unless someone here works for EA. I just don’t trust EA will have their shit together when they release things so I decide to look at the bright side of things. Why would I ruin my mood for a dumb company? I just go with it and make the best of the situation. No one is making anyone play this game. I still love football and I will play because I want to even when things are broken. What would more productive is to talk about finding work arounds or abilities to counter the fatigue. There is an easy work around and we have more AP on  D 👀

LT was a dawg, but the reason you didnt see him huffing and puffing was cause he was coked up 24/7

Phew, if You commit cheese on cheese crime, we’re good homies. In dollar peppers & Bo in slots, no fatigue drop offs, tested and proven, enjoy 🤙
