OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - 06/08 Update: New injury-related features in OOTP 12

Markus Heinsohn · 06-08-2011, 10:00 AM

Hey guys,

just a quick update - things are going fine and I am in the process of finishing up the last couple new features for OOTP 12 before fixing the remaining bugs of the beta version. So, we're on schedule for the June 20th release

I have just finished coding the new injury system enhancements. Basically there are three new aspects here:

1) For some injuries, the exact type/ duration is not immediately revealed. Basically, the diagnosis may take up to 4-5 days for severe injuries. Once the diagnosis is revealed, a league news article (for good players) and a manager email will be sent.

2) This only makes sense if we have retroactive DL assignments, so I added this as well. The game stores the date of an injury, and if the date is in the past of the DL assignment, the length of the DL stay will be reduced by the time difference. So when you place a player on the 15-day DL who was injured 3 days ago, he just has to spend 12 days on the DL.

3) While I was in good mood, I also added rehab assignments to the minor leagues. You can send a player to the minors (right-click menu -> transactions submenu) directly from the DL if the DL time has ended. Position players may stay 20 days in the minors and pitchers 30 days. A minor league option is not used in this case. The game prompts you to activate/DFA the player again if the rehab assignment time has elapsed. By the way, this is not a cosmetic feature, players do have a 'rust' rating after injuries (this influences performance & injury risk), and by playing in the minors the player gets back into shape and the rust gets reduced/removed entirely.

Hope you like this

Cheers,
Markus
