Is there any rhyme or reason as to how long a team remains "DAMP" at the start of a season?  It seems to vary and I have no idea why.

Should pretty much always be 20 games...

Wow, that image is tiny. IF you zoom way in, you can see she is damp, which like is on topic and stuff.

Walk me out in the morning dew.

Looks like Sandra Bullock

Oh, I think it's the first 16 games.

Oh, so booger is heterosexual, I must have been misinformed.....

Dear old guy,

It isn't.

I know you must be disappointed.

Nah, I'm fine on Elba with my concubines.....

The damp is actually 15 games, which is NOT enough. Either it should be longer, and I mean much longer, around 30-40 games or the fatigue/stamina system is just not quite accurate enough.
That's something I've noticed a while back and once wrote a ticket about but obviously support didn't agree with me.

I'll just give one example with a current team of mine. And I've seen it with basically all my teams and is why I usually can't wait to get through the first 30-40 games when things usually start levelling.

So for this team I have as top 4 hitters;

'81 Rickey Henderson 733 PA/162
'80 Dwayne Murphy      702
'79 George Brett            701
'65 Donn Clendenon   676

If you add the 10% extra PA that WIS allows there is no way in hell these guys should ever get anywhere near tired at any point in the season unles they got an extraordinary streak of extra inning games, which in this case didn't happen.

So what happened after the 15 game damp?
Henderson was at 98%, Murphy 97%, Brett 99% and Clendenon 96%, nothing dramatic but that shouldn't happen.
Proof is, I never rested any of them and though it took a long time, around the all star break, they all got back to 100%

So if the damp was accurate the % after 15 games shouldn't have changed later in the season unles I rested these players.

I said it before and I'll say it again, with the current stamina formula the damp is way too short, I'd even say it should be about one quarter of a season like 40 games, that's the minimum time it takes for things to settle down.
