Pens farm Lines - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

I know this issue has been raised before as a lot of teams have had issues with their farm teams fatigue and injury levels but my team has gotten to the point where I cannot make lines even by double shifting a bunch of players.

Currently I have 4 forwards out with injuries, 2 defensemen out. After that I have 7 Forwards with a CON rating of 95-97. It seems every game I get more and more injured or tired. I am losing players to exhaustion on a regular basis. Sometimes these players are playing just 3rd line AHl minutes and no special teams. The second I double shift a player to make up for current injuries that player falls to below 95 and misses games to exhaustion. I have zero forwards with a 100 con rating.

Is there a solution to this or do we just have to plug through it with unknown players?

Heh, yeah, it is pretty crazy with the fatigue. Last game I had 8 forwards out with injuries/fatigue. I had to move my two spare CPHL forwards down to the AHL and then just double shift a bunch of players. It's too bad the sim doesn't have an option to turn off fatigue in the AHL, trying to figure out the AHL lines is a bit of a pain.

Ya, I'm with you guys on this one...about a week ago I had 4 AHL d-men and 10 forwards healthy I think, it got a little crazy. The unfortunate thing is trades don't register for a day as well so it's tough to get another AHL guy in time for a game if you have back-to-back games.

I have played 10 games in 13 days and My guys are crazy fatigued both in the CPHL and AHL. Maybe i shouldnt have such an old team.

No real solution - just plug in the unknown player. We will look at expanding rosters in the off-season.

KevanGuy · 11-23-2009, 03:26 PM

Doesn't the unknown player cause the sim to crash? I thought that was an issue earlier in the season.

I changed a setting in the sim to allow the unknown player to actually skate on farm teams because otherwise it was becoming impossible to actually sim.

Cool, thanks G.

Goffie · 11-23-2009, 05:45 PM

Thanks! I am glad you changed the setting, was worried that because of lack of healthy bodies I might screw up the simming.

haha....These AHL injuries are just crazy, I have never seen so many players miss games due to exhaustion and bruises before.

I feel the pain too, I usually have at least 5 AHL players out but I have managed to escape the uknown player so far. Every farm game I am cycling my players from top line to bottom lines and special teams to non special teams, and alternating the extra forwards depending on the CON ratings

That's becuase the Bruins are a bunch of Pansy Momma's boys.
