Player/line rotation and in-game fatigue
Posted: Thu Nov 11, 2021 4:21 am
Line rotation has been said to be performed by coach based on line/player fatigue.
I've though noticed sometime a few "weird" things in early game minutes.
For instance, Line #1 would start the game and be replaced 30 seconds later by line #2 (both teams) at the first goalie stop.
A shoot occurs just a few seconds after (faceoff win, 2 passes, a shot, a goalie stop) and so it's not 40 seconds into the game and both teams go with line #3.
I do not think this can be related to in-game fatigue as the game has just started.
Is it just that lines are changed every time a stop is made a goalie ?
Regarding line change due to in-game fatigue, I've been wondering if the same kind of formula was used than for post-game fatigue and that players were considered as fatigued only after the total game minutes that their EN would allow them to play before getting fatigued.
As well, I'm wondering if coaches characteristics/stats could have any impact on line change (when to change lines, which line to play), even more when setting is set to disable coach in the league
This concerns me a bit as we've got some teams without assigned coach and I'm wondering if this as well could have any impact when coach setting is set to disabled.
I believe we're using sim engine 1.5
Thanks in advance for the ones with some clue about all of this
