Injuries are Way too Frequent

Lordofbrewtown · 02-04-2015, 10:28 PM

So, I have an association, 3 Leagues, 26 teams total/historical players, 1977. The game setting for injury is "Low". I rarely have a day go by without at least 1 injury amongst the 26 teams/13 games played. Usually, there are 3-5 injuries per game day. One team just had all 3 outfielders get hurt in the same game.

This sure doesn't seem like a "Low" frequency to me. Pitcher & Player fatigues are set at "Normal".

Is there another setting that I should be checking? Can anyone comment on if those injury rates seem normal????

Go to league reports home then click on under the knife to see exactly how many injuries you have. Post a screen shot if you can.

See below for an example. Sorry for the bad shot I couldn't match the size. There are a lot of injuries in baseball.

Also do you have any minor leagues? Injuries tend to attack ML's heavier when you have no minor leagues in my experience.

Thanks guys.
Regarding minor leagues, I have a 4 league assoc set up kind of like a promotion/relegation system, 8 "major" league teams in 1 league, and 3 six team leagues, designated as AAA, AA, and A (though they don't link/report to the major league teams). Not sure if that's affecting things.

The injuries slowed down a little after I posted this; however, for this league I'll probably adjust fatigues up a level and change the injuries to the lowest level.

Wow, I never knew this. Been playing for years and I more often than not use reserve rosters instead of minors.

I never knew it either, but it kind of makes sense when you think about it... if the coding treats all affiliated leagues as one when it comes to injuries, a smaller pool of players to pick from would lead to more injuries to the parent club.

And, this is just anecdotal, but my experiences pan out. I turned injuries down to Normal and then to Low when I played a fictional league with 1 level of minors. Now that I'm playing a larger, MLB setup, they've gone back up to Normal, and I'm considering setting them back to High.

Interesting.

Thanks again - I agree it must be the fact that I am using reserve rosters that are often vacant or contain only a couple of players, with the teams having 22 men active rosters.

I play on Modern day (realistic) and this is pretty standard for my organization:
