Injuries Poll

[wdoupis]

This is another key issue that needs to be addressed. I think we have all seen that in OOTP 18 injuries have gotten pretty crazy but besides the actual injury it is how easily guys drop to fragile or wrecked and what happens to them then. Personally, I think the injuries have gotten out of control and very unrealistic. I am not saying compared to real life as I do not know the numbers but I mean in the way a SP will get knocked out of 15 starts and guys will drop to fragile and wrecked in the blink of an eye.

As a league lets decide how we want to handle this as I have heard many guys complain about this both on the boards and in private messages to me. The two choices will be leave as is or we will drop injuries down 1 level to low.

Debate this one as well fellas and everyone please vote.

In case anyone is curious OOTP does not allow you to reset a guys injury proneness. Ideally I would like to reset everyone to normal and disable that feature but it is not possible. Lowering the injury setting is the only possible way to combat it.

i thought it was already set to low lol

[qazhby]

but more injuries make it more realistic, teams lose seasons because of injuries every year

I voted to leave it as is. We're likely more close to real life this way.

But the most important reason, we haven't tested the setting we may move it to so that's a hard no vote for me.

You need it to be tested to have less injuries?
I can see if we were making a major change, but this one is pretty simple to understand, if he sets it to low, we won't have as many as we do now.

I voted to leave as is. injuries are a part of baseball and they happen way more frequently than most people realize.

[shel311]

Of course.

What if the next setting has wayyyyyy too few injuries?

Why would we NOT test it?

i could see the weeks injuries are fine. we have way to many (unrealistic) month ones are stupid. how many 5 or more month injuries have we had. too may is my guess

[wdoupis]

Everyone please vote. This one is almost decided so lets lock it down

[wdoupis]

Yaaaaaaay. Let’s get a few more

[wdoupis]

Looks like 10 more votes needed here but we will leave this poll open thru tonight. If you know someone who has not voted and can get in touch with him help me out and try to get them to vote.

Didn't Corey say that all changes needed a 2/3's vote moving forward? Will this still be the case on any changes moving forward?

As far as I know that was for the restart poll. I am fine with majority wins unless it is something that is a very big deal like restarts, 7 day sims, and so on. Smaller things like this and comp picks majority works for me.

[Hammerin' Hank]

How long before we stop keeping score?

[BlackRain]

I am the 10th no, voted!

[The_Niddler]

9th now, Randall, someone switched.

Of course.

I'm gonna go ahead and say we really fucked this one up.

There are only 40 total guys on the DL that are actually injured. Yea, we've had a couple of big injury stick out obviously, but overall we really botched this one by moving it down. 1.3 players on the DL 50 games through the season is much worse on the other side than when we thought we had too many injuries.

[wdoupis]

I disagree. We can not manage injuries day to day as if we were moving 1 day at a time. You still have to build depth, injuries are still a factor and this suits the way that we sim the league much better in my opinion.

I would be fine with the old way if we could stop guys from going to fragile and wrecked so quickly but there is no way to disable that. Over half the league is fragile, that is just stupid. I think the pros far outweigh the cons.
