Does the miraculous recovery actually happen? I never had that so far but I would certainly welcome it.

Thx for the tips

I have had guys recover earlier than expected, unless it was a cruel dream and I'm remembering wrong. Not 12 months to 2 months but it does happen

As my injuries continue to spiral out of control I decided to fire my trainer to see if a new one brings me better karma. Anybody have experience with that when a new trainer comes to town?

I personally feel that part of the fun of this game is trying to work around injuries. Your disabled list, though, makes mine look like child's play by comparison.

Playing in 1885, with setting set to four-man rotations, I lost all four of my starting pitchers and all three of my outfielders at the same time. I lost a bunch of other pitchers and outfielders, too. I ended up playing a lot of players out of position just to get through the season. There were a couple of weeks in July where I didn't even have enough players to fill my 25 man roster, and I had no assets to offer in any kind of trade. I was at a point where I would have seriously asked one of my coaches to suit up. Or one of the fans. Heck, I'd have suited up myself.

Yes I notice this as well. I was doing well in my 2017 sim but then was struck with 9 injuries (3 SP, 2 RP, 3 OF, 1 IF) and all with 2-9 month injuries....my season immediately tanked.

Injuries do suck but it forces you to be a better team and have quality depth options, which many GMs ignore.

Injuries happen. Right now, the real-life Astros have 4 of the 5 starters in their rotation on the DL.

It happened to me 4 of the 7 times I made the playoffs. I almost think it waits for my teams to make the playoffs and then injury city and it has cost me 2 WS titles.

I have tried the default setting with every edition of the game from 14 through 18, and I always felt it to be too much. I have found turning it down one notch makes it seem more realistic to me.

On default, I noticed at least one team - and some seasons more than one team - lost 1,800 or more playing days to disabled list time (to say nothing about the nagging day to day minor injuries). For reference, from 2004 through 2014, that has happened just 5 times in real life in MLB. 2 of those 5 occurrences happened in 2004.

Yes, injuries are part of the deal, and it sure does suck when it happens to your team, especially when it is your stars and it impacts your team in a season you expected to do well, but that just seemed to high to me.

Turning it down one notch still leaves you and other teams at risk for many serious and long term injuries, but those 1,800 plus DL days happen maybe every 3 or 4 seasons instead of almost every season.

I'll be the first to admit that on default, I never sim out more than four seasons before switching, so it is possible it is small sample size noise at play here.

Next new simulation I do, I'll try default and sim out at least 10 seasons and track better what happens.
