So I know that PC effects the rate at which energy decreases for every play a player is on the field.

Do we know what effect the initial PC has on initial energy. Is the in game energy always at 100% to begin or does a lower PC mean a lower initial energy also?

For example, if I had a player with PC = 88, is his initial energy also 88? Does a player with a lower PC hit the 85% threshold (basic setting) sooner because he is closer to it to start with AND the rate at which he loses energy is also higher?

Yes every player starts with 100% "in game" energy before each game, even if they only have 10% PC. Then depending on how much PC they actualy have, their "in game" energy will be drained quicker or slower. Quite simple.

Think of it has smokers vs no smokers running the marathon, the no smokers last long in general when running a marathon than the smokers. Because their Lung capacity is at 100% while the smokers only have their Lung capacity at 50 or 60% so they get tired quicker. Same thing with PC, the more you have, the more your players will be on the field. (Depending on tactics) PC it's the player Endurance.

If you look at this match you will see this player played about the same snaps as all other OL. His PC was 55 and the rest was in the mid 90s.

It would seem that the only interpretation here is that all players have a starting energy based on PC and the match setting (85% by default) is a % of their starting energy which is not 100% unless PC is also 100%.

Yet he lost more "in game energy" then all the others.

He lost 10.56%. While the majoroty of the other players with the same amount of snaps lost aound 6%.

And Pete already comfirmed that every player no matter what their PC is, starts the game with 100% "in game energy". Ive seen him answering this question before Hosh, I don't think he would trick everyone...or would he...

He lost about 5.5 Energy like everyone else - the % is higher, since like I said, he started with just over half the PC of everyone else.

By what you are saying, that means there is zero penalty for lower PC.

I think it might be something like -

90 PC = 98 starting energy
80PC = 96 starting energy.

and then if you set it to sub at 85% then it is 85% of 98, 96 etc. Not 100.

That would make more sense to - To have all players begin at 100 no matter what their PC seems too generous. As you stated earlier, it would simply mean they'd play less, rather than less well. This I doubt.

Pete answered this question before.

the engine you set up in the game settings are the in game condition.

Everyone has 100 % at the start of a game. The real PC = 100 %

example:

your player has 80% real PC this are 100% in game condition

your set up: substitution at 85 % (in game condition)

your player will substitute with a real condition of 68% real PC.

other example:

player has 98% PC
set up: 85%
substitution at 83% PC

Ok, that makes sense since the average energy over a stint of a player with less PC will be less.
