Brutal string of injurys

Birdman1414 · 11-15-2017, 08:09 AM

Fairly New to the game, created a fictional league and have been having a lot of fun (had to Make a Major Indianapolis team, sucks living here when we are surrounded by great MLB teams on all sides but are stuck with a AAA team lol) anyways. I seemed to have build up a pretty good team over the years. got to the finals the year before but lost. mostly because i had a TON of injurys (i think i had like 8 or 9 going into the playoffs). so i hired a new medical guy and this season has been insane (Buker and Mata playing like cheat codes) then boom boom boom. injury injury injury again towards the playoffs. dont know if theres a way to remedy this in the long run or if i just got the bad luck and just a group of guys having bones held together with tape =P to note though, ive noticed the injurys are not as bad this year. but seems like horrible luck to get all these in 3 games =(

You can change the injury rating under League Settings. Here are some Racers logos and jerseys for you. I did not make these.

The Game · 11-15-2017, 09:18 AM

I have more if you want them.They also should be on the forums somewhere in the mods section.

Holy crap thank you! these are awesome, im going to have to scour the mods forum. (didn't know someone had the same idea for the name of an Indianapolis team lol works for me) as for the injurys, maybe im just not checking enough to see what other teams have in terms of injurys, but i do remember in the playoffs i was the only team with 5+ players injured and it cost me. but im not completely upset cause it happens in real life and im a roll with the punches kind of guy.

towards seasons end you can rest players if u have such a huge lead.
you should always check the other teams, they are likely to have some injuries too

Im digging it i havent implemented it yet cause id rather have logos for all the made up teams in my league to really add to it. also Racers believe its the name of a Minor League Hockey team here but nobody i know here in Indy goes to Hockey anymore since we lost the Indianapolis ICE. But our AAA team here sells out like... every game lol i have a feeling Indy would be a good market for baseball.

I just went through some of the other teams, some have alot of injurys but not as bad as what i seem to routinely seem to get =P im going to have to keep a closer eye to make sure i keep my players both rested and to get players not made of paper. I mostly think im getting the wrong roll of the dice lol

NoOne · 11-16-2017, 04:47 PM

if you attempt to avoid paper players, it's all luck after that. at the least you knw you are playing the odds with certainty.

may take a chacne on a frail 5th starter, but nothing i have to depend on in the playoffs. merely a bonus if they get there in those situations. that's a very bad risk i can afford.

andyhdz · 11-17-2017, 02:03 PM

Just like in real life we've all had team's seasons derailed by injuries. It especially hurts when it happens right before playoffs or to young stars that totally hurt their development. Just like in real life!

What are your team names? In add ons central there is a file that has logos, jerseys & caps for just about every pre made up nickname.

In a pinch, it is possible to go into commissioner mode and change all your players to "durable" injury rating and even remove or reduce injuries, if you're not opposed to cheating or gaming the system. That's just a personal preference in my opinion, as long as I'm not playing other humans.

I play out all my games and check to make sure each player in my starting lineup is 100%. Otherwise, they sit out an entire game.

As opposed to real life, if a player pinch hits during a game, the result is the same as if he had played the entire game. This is especially important during spring training. As opposed to real-life of having a lot of defensive/batting substitutions, I focus on giving a distribution of entire days off to batters. Pitchers, on the other hand seem to work as desired.

Don't know if you can call the Racers minor league. They were the team that originally signed Wayne Gretzky.

Concerning MLB in Indy, the town is full of people who have spent their whole lives following the Cardinals or Cubs or Reds. Can they be converted? See Tampa Bay, which is full of people who still follow the teams they grew up with up north.

BTW, I've lived both places.

I've seen teams plagued by injuries certain years. It all just adds to the realism of the game as the same is true in real life. Sometimes teams just get hit bad, maybe because of age, maybe because their unlucky. I like that it happens though.

Cobby · 11-23-2017, 01:58 AM

Well, my major league team is doing OK, but holey-moley - I've got 25 injured minor leaguers at the same time! That's basically one whole team's worth.

I'm not complaining or anything - I just think it's interesting when the winds of randomness blow strongly one way or another....
