I really like the idea of more d2d injuries, as in baseball it seems like 90% of the injuries that occur are able to be played through at some level of effectiveness, and it's often just a decision as whether or not it's worth it for a player to risk aggravation playing at a lower level anyways.

Your file does have a few strange lingual outputs. The labrum is not a muscle, but a soft tissue area around the shoulder that is, I believe, more cartlidge than anything else.

I'm not sure about a "tight" muscle making a guy be less effective for two weeks. I'd think maybe two categories of strains would work better, so you could have a minor hamstring strain make a guy be 95% for 1-2 weeks, or a major hamstring strain make a guy be 85% for 2-3 weeks or put him out. I don't know, just seems a little more realistic to me than a "tight" hamstring making someone struggle--that just sounds like he needs to warm up and stretch out!

For bones, you could use "bruised" instead of "cracked." Bones, and certainly their areas that are used interchangeably, can be bruised. So a "bruised elbow" or "bruised toe" make more sense to me as minor injuries than a "cracked elbow" or "cracked toe."

Anyway, I think I'll be using this in the future.
