injuries

[MatI]

does anyone else find there is not enough injuries in the game? I have been slowly bumping up my injury sliders in the game, and have it at 7 at the moment and i regularly get told of about 2 injuries at the end of each day for the league, but 90% of the time, it is only in the minor leagues. How many would be more accurate? I would expect there should be atleast 1 injury every day for the major leagues.

any opinions?

I am having the same problem. I am playing a dynasty at pro level and I am in mid May. In the NL, where I play, there is just three injuries overall. That is really low... I really want to fix that too.

Well go ahead and up your sliders but don't get mad when your team is so jacked up from injuries that there is no one to play your game. I'm too chicken to turn injuries on since I have the Braves (no on on the bench or good enough in the minors). :?

I play the Braves too. Is there any other team to play? But I still like to get some injuries. As long as it is not Chipper...

Ok then cheat like I did.

When Hooter's Jones gets hurt, turn Injuries Off and you should get him back I believe. When you get him back, turn it back on. Who says you hae to play fair. If it was the Yanks, I'd HATE to be without Jeter, no? Go forth and cheat...like Kent Hrbeck in 1991 in the WS. Nuff said.

i got about 11 per season in the big league... [using Dodgers]

Most of the time are either SS or 2B gets hurt while trying to executed a double-play..

[UncleMo]

isn't that a lot? i ask this because i don't trust the rookies in atlanta. if chipper gets hurt, do you really want betemitt or marte coming up. NO.

I tried turning injures up to +20 and I seem to get an injury every day or two on one of the levels but most of the injuries are short injuries (less than 15 days or around 15 days)

[No1CubFan]

I have the injuries all the way up and I'm still not seeing enough of them. Two seasons in and only one player was hurt, and that was just for 5 days.

I was under the impression that this was true too. However I have a player injured for about 6 more days and if I turn off Injuries, he is still on the injury list for 6 more days. Does anyone know about this. No way I'm going to risk having my created player with my name on him out for the season or something like that. What's the fun in that? Anyone know how to get players back other than waiting them out? Otherwise I'll just keep injuries OFF.

Thanks

I too play as the Braves, obviously.

Injuries are a funny thing, right now I have Giles, Aubrey Huff (yeah I traded for him) and LaRoche all out with injuries. Giles was like a 7-8 day thing but Huff and LaRoche are out a while. I had also traded for Josh Willingham of the Marlins to be my back-up catcher and he just went down for over a month with a groin injury. Funny thing these injuries.

if chipper gets hurt, do you really want betemitt or marte coming up. NO.

IDK, Betemit isn't all that bad. Granted, he's not as good as Chipper, but he's still respectable enough to be a back-up if Chip is to get hurt.

Depends on how long he is out too. I wouldn't want to go with Betemit for say 3/4 or 2/3 a season but I would muttle through it for 15-20-something days. Or, bring up Marte.

This is where I have mine too. And while I was simming test seasons with the Yankees to make sure I had everything in order and there would be no crashes while running a dynasty...I noticed about one multi-day injury per 10 games. And they varied from long (30+ days) to short (1-2 days).

This seems OK to me. Perhaps a little high but we are talking about 100 players amongst 4 teams.

side note: I am going to play all the games for the Yankees and sim the minors. I have yet to start this (likely this weekend). I just did full sims through two seasons to make sure there would be no crashes during the season, after the season during free agent signings and during the spring training sessions.

My point here is that I don't know what effect playing will have on injuries which require lineup changes. I will keep you posted unless someone already has some data/observations for when you play games during a dynasty.
