Injuries need to be turned down

koohead · 05-06-2021, 11:41 AM

Like, in real life. Seriously. Something is wrong with the logic...way too many injuries this year. Someone must have moved a decimal point accidentally.

I always lower mine. High (realistic, modern day) is too much for me!

It's really a challenge but it makes you to build a much deeper organization.

With all the minors in High Injury frequency it's huge the amount of Injuries....

Injuries are up 15% this season over 2019

Ghost Town · 05-06-2021, 06:43 PM

I don’t know what the deal is with pre-playoff injuries in OOTP, but it’s highly aggravating. I use the traditional injury setting.

Just finished season 4 with the Pirates. Have turned them around quickly. 100 & 99 wins & two Central pennants in seasons 3 & 4.

However, this season, I lost 4 of my 5 starting pitchers, my star RF, and my starting 3B, for the season beginning in August. That’s simply absurd.

I've had Mitch Keller pitch to one batter in two games, out after each one for a few weeks. Glorp.

OutS|der · 05-07-2021, 06:18 PM

COVID and how many players missed time with it last year might have something to with it. Wouldn't be surprised to see funny numbers due to last year.

Ghost Town · 05-09-2021, 11:03 PM

Just had: My starting 2B get hurt for 5 months in spring training. A top pitching prospect tear his UCL in spring training. A starting pitcher go out for a month in the first two weeks of the season. My starting shortstop go out for 3 weeks in the first month. My starting CF go out for 2 weeks one month in. And my top prospect 2B, replacing my injured starting 2B, get injured for 4 weeks a week after his callup.

It’s insanity.

June 12 — Three more members of my pitching staff have to go on IR. I have 7 of my 26 man roster on IR at the moment, with 3 others having just returned from their stints.

itsmb8 · 05-10-2021, 01:55 AM

Honestly, these all sound pretty realistic IMO. Milwaukee currently has 13 MLB or AAAA players on the IL as of today.

Yelich was on the IL for a couple weeks, played ONE game, and went back on the IL.

Nothing surprises me anymore, tbh.

Ghost Town · 05-10-2021, 10:30 AM

August 26: 3/5 of my starting rotation on IR, plus 2 top relievers.

^ That.

Just to be clear, my orig post was intended to be a tongue in cheek poke at our annual gripe session regarding the "proper" injury settings. The reality is injuries are unpredictable and any "trends" that may exists over a number of years can (and as this year has proven...will) be blown out of the water for unknown reasons. Maybe this is the start of a new normal..or maybe this year is a one off. who knows. Chaos. That's the only thing that is predictable.

I don't mind these injuries in a season - the problem is this every season. My save is heading for 2030 and even having hired the best preventative trainer I can, my key guys go down every season often for months at a time.

To me this isn't realistic - yeah a team may have a bad season, and maybe 2 back to back, but the sheer number of injuries and the length of time every season seems wrong.

I'm not sure if age is factor but i don't think so. I avoid fragile players but actually the one or two fragile players I've taken on have actually not suffered injuries.

So yeah, maybe a tweak required in my opinion. Or at least give us a way to monitor and understand where all these injuries are coming from and take steps to mitigate.

Exactly. The problem is it happens every season.

I have a trainer with Legendary in preventing arm injuries; all of my pitchers are young & none are “fragile,” yet every single season my pitchers drop like flies. And many of them become complete bums after suffering major injuries.

I mean, how realistic is it to only have two pitchers start more than 15 games in a season because of injuries? To only have two pitchers throw more than 120 innings? It’s absurd.

I’ll be turning down the injuries a notch below retro.

Just for balance in case there are new users reading this thread....

I have used "high realistic" in my game since it was added many years ago and will continue to do so. I have never had anything like this happen to me.

I have one guy I can count on to break down every year and yes, he's gone from fragile to wrecked. But when healthy he is one of the best SP in the league. The rest of my rotation stays remarkably healthy. Knock on wood

And I even fare better than that with my position players

Ghost Town · 05-10-2021, 04:42 PM

Turned it down to “low” after the playoffs ended.

Just finished spring training. Still couldn’t escape without my first round pick from 3 years ago tearing his rotator cuff & being out for the season before it even starts.

I’ve legitimately lost at least one top young pitcher for the season every single spring training, & this is my 8th season.
