INJURIES...

[AndyP]

as admins, the few of you at least have the ability to sim ahead and dictate if the settings hold true. Sim 3-5 yearsfrom now, and if...say the injury differential is small between now and then, Well then you have everyone's full support. But lets say they continue to say high(and truthfully I don't really want to go looking through and organizing injuries, length, amount etc) then tweak, and resim the 3-5 years. From the very small sampling I did, injuries seam to hover around the 50 mark the last 2 year for about 3 teams(I did myself, I think Cincy and Toronto.)

50 what? Every sim is so different, how on earth would I test this?

And it's been brought up, or at least complained about frequently, or as frequent as 4-5 times is. The guy who runs The Brewers for like 3 years straight complained he couldn't put a competitive team on the field b/c of how frequent the injuries are.

A sizable percentage of Americans believe aliens are living among us, does that make it true? It's still perception.

But I still believe that 20 years of advancement in RL and Sim life should have a beneficial increase in player health??

In real life, pitchers now are getting hurt more than they were 30 years ago according to SI. History says the opposite has actually happened.

As for what matty said - we've all seen this in mogul - starters getting hurt on days they don't even pitch. Often the day before the pitch - things like broken jaws, etc. Mogul is a sim and it's a code isn't perfect. The file has to drop people to advance young talent, sometimes it does that via long-term injury.
