Question: I know that fatigue plays a part in this game but, what am I to expect? As in.. Do you need to have replacements for everyone on each of your teams? I seen after my first T20 match the ones who played went from "rested" to "energetic" so are these people going to go down 2 or 3 ratings after the next game in a couple of days? I assume endurance has something to do with it as well.

Can anyone give me a bit of a rundown concerning fatigue? I am thinking this is something very important to the season. Or, maybe, I should find a mentor!

Fatigue is important in the game to prevent teams playing the same XI in every match. You don't need a replacement for every player, but do require a squad with extra bats and keeper, and variety with the bowlers, to rotate through. Depending on your leagues and age/endurance of the players, determines how many players you need. A squad of 15 is plenty for a new team.

After every match, a player's fatigue is updated to reflect the amount of involvement in the match, also depends on the type of match and weather. Each day, a player recovers from fatigue which is dependent upon age and endurance.

You can send me an in-game message anytime asking about certain aspects of the game, happy to help.

Also fatigue plays a part in training. Players get penalties to training if they fall under moderate by the weekly training update.

I just found that part in the manual (I must have skipped that part). I am sure I will figure everything out after a few games. I can't believe it has taken me this long to find this website. This seems like great fun!

As long as you put me on ignore you'll have a great time here.

Yes I can recommend that too

With the new age changes, do the training increases/decreases change weekly now or is it still done when they age a year?

Same with fatigue hits/recoveries?

If it's still the same as before , any thoughts on changing to weekly?

Cheers

Still the same, based on the age in years

At this stage no thoughts on changing to weekly though the whole thing may at least get a tweak in the near future

Should I train power to my spinners ?

yes

I there is any limit I should train spinners as compare to seam bowlers ??

Thats purely a personal choice;
Some will train up to similar to seamers, maybe a level or two behind
Some only train to reli/accom and some don't train at all
I am mostly in the first camp, train power to a couple of levels behind what I do for seamers

Should I train my power training to Seam bowlers and batsman upto their primary and secondary skills level ?

Ideally yes, I keep mine close-ish before topping up at 23-27

Why does the supports mood reset every season? I'd be happy if there is a game engine/balance reason but it seems a little odd looking as a simulation.
