Pre-Injruries effecting a player performance?

TuckerDuckson · 06-01-2016, 12:09 PM

I've been seeing this a lot lately, a player will suddenly start or go into a very prolonged cold streak (1-2 months, no cold streak indicator) and then boom they get an injury.

I know it's hard to think about, but here's an example, in my new Rockies franchise Carlos Gonzalez we really under performing. Gonzalez was only batting .230/.276/.410 with only 6 home runs in Coors throughout the season up to mid June. Then after a severe 5 game stretch where he went hitless, he went down with a torn labrum and is now out for the season

I was wondering if this injury had any correlation with his lagging performance, I think it's really cool as that is an explanation for his sucky performance. Is this programmed into the game perchance and if not is it a possibility?

well, that is in the game - there's an option to turn delayed injuries off. players and facegen settings, if i recall. one tab right of Global settings.

i don't know how long they can be delayed. i'd assume if they got sophisticated about it, it would depend on the seriousness and type of injury. you can hide a blister better than a torn ACL, for example. (not that the only reason is a player hiding an injury)

so, the only way you could know for sure is if you have an older backup in the correct timeframe. then you could turn commissioner mode on and look inside the player profile editor at his potential injury.

The delayed injuries option is a separate issue. It's delaying the diagnosis not the injury itself.

That said, I do agree that it seems like there are cases sometimes where a player's performance will slide before they get an injury. It does happen in real life (someone will keep playing injured without admitting it and it will affect their performance) and I think it would be cool if it happens in OOTP, too.

In real life players hide injuries and three performances suffer. Is that coded in the game? Don't know. I would lean to no but I don't know for sure
