phyicals, player health and insurence

I would like to see a player page with health ratings based on phyiscals taken at time of contract signings and team trainer/scout evaluations. I'd also like to be able to buy insurance on contracts or just receive insurance money on injured players.

I would thing that those health ratings would require Markus to compeltely reprogram how injuries are determined in the game. Right now I believe it's random, whereas something like you're suggesting would imply a long-term chance of injury. So a player might be susceptible to injuries, and that might be detected in advance but resolve itself later.

I think your suggestions are realistic, but they might be a bit of a stretch for incorporating into a sim like OOTP. But there's nothing wrong with asking for the feature. If enough people like this and want it, then I'm sure Markus would consider it.

I would think that having players pose a significant injury risk is what is really needed to make the game more realistic. otherwise it doesnt really make any sense to make incentive laden contracts. every offseason you see teams dole out these contracts to old, underperforming and especially the high risk-high reward players coming off of injury. Gms should be rewarded in paying attention to health risks to complete rosters. Ive seen other sports games do it, so i know its not completely out of reach...
