You get two licenses at a time, and you can unlicense a computer if need be.

Nope, you can use the license twice and you can also release the license from the old pc as well. Or if you forget to do so, you can email support and I'll do it for you

You can unlicense it on your current PC.

Also, I think you get 2 licenses.

Yeah what happened to this? One of the most anticipated improvements that was initially announced.

Some injuries are nagging and more likely to develop over time, maybe turn into bigger issues.

We're far more specific as far as what body parts are injured, and multiple injuries to specific body parts can create problems over time.

We adjusted the time and effects of some injuries, the db was significantly re-worked.

We track more in regard to injuries now.

There are more decisions for the manager/gm as to whether to have a player play through injuries or get treated and have them miss time.

I think that's most of it, but that's just off the top of my head. I may be missing some stuff or be wrong about something.

yes...the injury system needed a good amount of re-work.

trust me...this new system will be tested by me.

So I guess when ever you expand and make a new team that team will automatically have a coaching staff? No option to disable that?

No, I brought that up after you suggested it, but we didn't have time to add it this year.

Hopefully we'll be able to get it in next year!

This sounds amazing, thank you for this.

I have a small concern over the new revamped injury system you have in place. It seems there are alot of small and minor injuries that are nagging that could potentially turn into bigger problems.

Has this system been tested thoroughly for being overpowered in a sense to where half your team gets little injuries to the point of where you may have half your team on the DL at one point?

If I let my manager run the team, does the AI know and understand the difference between a normal injury and a minor nick and act accordingly and realistically?

Yes, this has been tested properly of course, and the results are pretty realistic and you have an added challenge

Is there a way to disable CEI as automatic type thing now, or do we still need to edit the injury.txt file and remove that bit?

Not sure if it falls under this or the injury system revamp, but does this mean catchers are less likely to be long term offensive dominant players? There seemed to be an 'unrealistic' distribution of catchers in 17 that had long careers putting up 1B/OF like numbers.

I don't think that quite falls under the same issue. We'll more into that issue after release.
