I had a guy get hurt for 5 weeks with 4 weeks left in the season. I want the option to bring him back Willis Reed-style in a key situation - like I don't know, Game 7 of the World Series.

Priority:

Low
Along these lines:

Suggestion: Have injuries get better over time. So obviously if a guy breaks his wrist, he can't play. But if it's 4 weeks until he's 100%, he'd probably be at 80% after 3 weeks. Depending on the urgency of the situation, they could rush him back. Perhaps this could fall under the Team Doctor...a bad doctor might say he's ok then the guy gets hurt because he wasn't ok.

Reason: This happens all the time in real life. Guys very rarely return at 100%, usually the ligaments/tendon's in whatever body part are still weak. Look at Longoria in September, when he came back he wasn't 100% and had a tough time hitting the inside pitch. Now he looks ok though. Plus some injuries maybe never get 100%, at least not until the end of the season when the player can really rest.

Priority: Low
