Did they get rid of the "injury history" rating? I was going to wait until 18, but I made an impulse buy of 17 the other day... and I didn't see that on the player page... Maybe that's a good thing as it will take away one of the "tells" I think that game had... which lead to my rule of thumb which is to never have a guy on the payroll past the age of 35 unless he had an "Iron Man" rating... I always found that guys with lower history ratings were much more prone to just fall off the cliff performance wise in their mid 30s... whether or not an actual major injury was involved.

Either way, I would likely let him walk at that age if I had prospects being blocked... unless I truly don't have anywhere better to put that money.

EDIT: Now my game is showing the "injury history" on the player pages... only thing I can think of was that I was originally browsing the league while unemployed... once I took a job, I think the injury history displayed... if that makes any sense.
