Got smoked by a 72 stamina super talented UCLA teams with great coach (drichar). They ran FCP and normal tempo with 11 players. I ran uptempo m2m. I had 82 stamina team with 12 players. Sure if they ran slowdown I would have expected a close one to go either way but how did they not foul and turn ball over more with the amount of fatigue they should have experienced?

Only thing I can see is that stamina is now totally broke in the game.

i dont think they have randomly changed stamina without notice....

the amount of times ive had an 80+ fb/press team unable to fatigue an 8 man low 70s stamina team is hilarious

and losing by 8 isn't getting smoked

uptempo man is not going to cause major fatigue issues and even if fatigued 4 of your 12 were still inferior to his 11

I mostly agree with 0 here, I don't think it's necessarily been nerfed or changed in any way. It's always going to depend on the quality up top. Uptempo refers to your offense, so if you weren't playing FB, it's not likely you were doing a *whole lot* to fatigue him. Playing FCP with normal (if not FB) is doable with 72 stamina, you really just want to make sure you have good balance. Like you say, drichar is a great coach and knows what he's doing. If he has good balance, then ideally (from his standpoint) all youre doing running uptempo is increasing your turnovers and decreasing your FG%.

It isn't a terrible play, it can be a good shot, might be your only shot if you have an inferior quality team. But without FB to go with it, you're not putting as much pressure on his defense as you might think.
