It's not a deal breaker, but it still is a OOTP11-to-OOTP12 downgrade of the online league experience for users. Many leagues sim 2 weeks at a time, so in those cases where a team has an undiagnosed injury the owner has to wait two
further weeks in the game before he knows what DL list the player belongs on, whether the player is just day to day, or if the team actually needs to trade for a long term replacement in case of a serious injury. I'm not sure how many average game days wait there is for a diagnosis but I suspect it's a large range since most injuries I've seen in my lone v12 online league show up as 'undiagnosed' when the sim is completed. These situations are obviously not the scenario's the feature was designed for, they are unrealistic and generally will be frustrating for online league owners. Making the delayed injury diagnosis an optional feature in OOTP12 would solve the issue.
