I know that if a player is maxed out, he can drop in stamina during the rollver, but I just had a player drop in stamina from 65 to 62, and he's not even close to maxing out this category. He gained 8 points in stamina last yr.  And here was his player thought from last season:, clearly 8 point is not his ceiling (+21 is his bare minimum), what's going on here?

rebounding: big upside
shot blocking: big upside
stamina: big upside
ft shooting: big upside

players almost always drop in stamina, they don't have to be capped

This.

Yeah, players almost always drop a bit in stamina during the rollover.  I would assume the reasoning is that they aren't playing/practicing as often in the off-season - they aren't in "game shape."  However, they could be taking the initiative to work on parts of their game during the off-season, which is why you see boosts in the other areas.

I've had guys drop 5 in stamina, it's annoying.

I'm with you  kmason, stamina drops are super annoying. I was hoping this guy would jump 70 as opposed to drop down to 62. He's still pretty useless in my fcp system with that stamina, despite the huge ath. 

The ones that confuse me are the guys that have their stamina drop 5-8 points in the offseason and then don't improve a single point all season even with 18-20 minutes of conditioning.

There has to be something broke in these cases.

They need to correct this. I can buy into low we guys dropping in stamina (after all, they're lazy and likely got fat in the offseason), but for a guy with solid or better we to drop is inane.
