From what I have observed, OOTP has been like this for many versions now. I complained about it in my complaint thread. I believe it is because crazy minor injuries add up, which eventually means the big injury hits and boom the guy is fragile or wrecked. Especially bad if you draft the guy out of high school.
The flu and bruised knees should not result in an injury slippery slope.
Even moderate injuries on young platers should get a forgiveness.
Yes, there are some injuries (eg: hamstring) that can linger. And major injuries can make you more prone. Guys later in their career may have more difficulty recovering (even from minor injuries). However, especially for young players, this should be the exception and not the rule.
Usually once I see a guy start to pick up 2-3 minor injuries in one season, I start to think about trading him away before he becomes fragile.
PS If it is player fatigue, can we get a better indicator? I am always resting guys once they go under 100% and still have these issues.
