Career-ending injuries

Reikazawa · 02-22-2007, 09:06 AM

This might have been asked before, or was already addressed in OOTP2006, but how will 2007 handle CEIs?

Will it still be like in 6.5 where a player gets injured during a game and it is instantly determined that it's a career-ending injury? Or will it be a slow burn where it would take months of surgery/rehab/failed recovery before it is determined the the injury is career-ending.

Thanks.

Still the 2006 way. Just wasn't high enough priority to make this a more complicated deal. Especially doing something like that so that it would work in multiple different eras would be really complicated for a relatively small point of realism.

Will there be any cases of spontaneous human combustion of players on the field?

There will be if you put it in the injuries.txt file!

Will Alpha Centauri motherships hover over ballparks and abduct ballplayers?

Yes, if you edit the injuries.txt file.

Will the text commentary mention it? For example...

Ball hit deep to left field...
Bonds is going back, back, back...
he's putting up his glove to make the catch...
Oh wow, Bonds has been abducted by an alien mothership!
Jenkins goes all the way around for an inside-the-park home run!

I just spit Mountain Dew all over my computer screen in laughter.

I should hard-code this, and have a 0.0000000000000000001% chance that this occurs in OOTP!

I think this requires modding the english.xml file.

That would be awesome. Talk about an Easter Egg.

Just add it to the comeback code.

Seems like it ought to be a ground rule double.

Didn't this happen in 1999? Then "Bonds" came back to terrorize pitching and lie to the feds.

Redmark Yankees had a really good alternative injuries.txt file. Maybe it will work in 2007 or he'll update it.

What? Real life isn't weird enough for you? Why would we need science fiction injuries when real pro players are putting on freak shows all the time? Consider that a real player has been injured doing every one of the following:

burning his chest while ironing a shirt that he was wearing

falling asleep in a rocking chair and crushing his pitching fingers under the chair

smashing his ankle while knocking dirt from his spikes

cutting his finger while buttering food

hurting his back getting out of a chair in the clubhouse

being eaten by an automatic tarp machine

having a teammate jam a Q-tip in his ear

dislocating his shoulder waving a runner home

having his own false teeth bite him in the butt

straining a muscle while barfing

injuring himself eating a donut

injuring his arm while flicking sunflower seeds in the dugout

stabbing himself while opening a DVD

sneezing so hard it caused back spasms

dislocating his shoulder tearing a phone book in half

burning his eyes by rubbing chili sauce in them

damaging his eye by sleeping on it wrong

injuring his hand by shaking hands too hard

getting bitten by a coyote

breaking his collarbone carrying deer meat upstairs

buring his face under tanning lamps

having a tattoo get infected

straining his groin while trying to get out of the dugout

straining a rib muscle jumping from the bench

sticking his hand into an air conditioner to see why it wasn't working

injuring his hand pounding on a hotel room wall

straining his back putting on his socks

cutting his hand on a mirror while practicing his windup

wrenching his back while turning his head to check traffic

being unsable to play due to frostbite

having his cup slip and pinch a testicle

breaking his toe while kicking the clubhouse laundry cart

being unable to play because he was kept awake all night by crickets chirping in his hotel room

dislocating his finger while hitting a water cooler

disabling himself while having nightmares about spiders

straining his shoulder turning off his alarm clock

dislocating a knuckle when it became stuck in another player's glove

being hit him with a golf club in the locker room

tearing a nail off while sliding his hand under the television in his hotel room

being injured by his pillow while asleep

spraining an ankle while wrestling with a clubhouse attendant

breaking his nose in a car accident while trying to pass the team bus

cracking two ribs while swinging the bat during opening day practice

separating a shoulder after high-fiving a teammate

being bitten by his mother-in-law's dog

smashing his finger in the door of his luxury car while on the way to the bank

developing carpal tunnel syndrome from spending too much time on the Internet

Plus there was St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Flint Rhem.

"In 1930, with St. Louis and Brooklyn battling for first place, Rhem disappeared for two days. Rhem told his teammates that he had been kidnapped by a group of Dodgers fans and tied up in a hotel for two days. Rhem said he had been forced to drink an incapicating amount of whiskey so that he wouldn't be able to pitch in an upcoming game."

While there were a few on that list that were good - this one is simply the best

You know if you do that, some ESPN Sportscaster will be playing the game and that will happen 4 times in one inning and then OOTP will be the laughing stock of all games.

Besides, what Alien can afford Bonds and his salary?
