Apologies GoonerLover66 I was not trying to make it 'sound' (over the vacuum of cyberspace

) like you were handing out
7/
8 willy nilly.
The Lampard and J. Zanetti I think might be more in line with the vaunted
A/
8 double, than just Conditioning alone as reference markers. I think people just tend to grab for the first idea when it comes to a particular stat, and naturally the players you listed tend to highlight the best and most identifiable charcteristics of those areas and the most immediate contrasting benchmarks.
The 5-6 Consitiong well I have played those, using Heracles in the dutch league I think I had a few players like that, and I played them hell or high water, i.e. game 20+ Stamina depleted by first half, easily being injured due to the accumilated fatigue bar, they only got to rest when they got
+RED injuries.

I mean it was not ideal with such a small squad, but it felt a bit real that my best players could not give it their all the entire season and the team was siginificantly affected, I ended up abandoning an all pressing and attacking game, to just sitting back and absorbing in hopes of retaining the smallest fumes of energy left in their bodies for the final third of the season and limping to the title.

This whole issue, is sort of also down to me trying to 'ladder' the players accordingly, as per example you have Lampard/J. zANEETTI OR EVEN pELE, who played backin the 60's about 70 games a season sometimes, well when you have extremes like that it is difficult to have some players come close yet there exist a siginificant gap in the statisitical data, I know it seems as an easy opt out but I do blame Konami for not broadening and strenghting the Conditioning values to a 1-10 scale , like really whe 8? what culture uses a mathemateical baiss of 8? and the rest of the game is near 10 unit basis of 1-99, why not 1-10..well anyways sort of my issue is like I highlighted on that evo web where sometimes one might respect the ladders too much - as with the PES engine ideally playing 30+ games with a 'realistic' fatigue level (more akin to real life players)
8 would be the average for most players. I think that is what happens in the Bundesliga where Monkevski rates in accordance with how the player performes with the engine rahter than global ladders as much. As
A and
8 are far more common in that league than in Serie A,.
