Laziness regarding classic player's stamina

Chixxy-

Almost every single older classic player has their 2016 stamina rating, rather than the stamina rating they had in their prime. What's up with that? Why replicate the stats they had when they were at the peak of their ability and leave their stamina alone?

So my 92 rated Kaka lasts around 65-70 minutes before his energy is pretty much drained. Not very representative of the player he was back in the day. Needs to be fixed.

Cue people asking you what the hell you're doing if 60-70 stamina isn't enough...

The likes of Lampard, Alonso and Pirlo are practically useless in midfield with their current stamina.

Yup. It's the Nesta Effect, and it's been around a while now.

All I can think is that increasing the stamina would have increased PHY too much, leading to OVRs that were higher than they intended. Except no, not really, so I think it's that they really are just completely ❤️❤️❤️❤️ stupid and/or apathetic.

This is a team that had a core game mechanic (chemistry) not functioning on a huge chunk of cards for half a decade. Never underestimate their stupidity or laziness.

100% agreed. I never understood why they never upped the Stamina. I ignore buying the classic MOTM cards cause of this. Torres could last all game running back to help defence and even now for Atletico Madrid, his stamina shouldn't be around 60.
