2 Questions

1) Is there a way to tone down the injuries? Simmed 9 days into spring training & there have been 3 season ending injuries & about 10-12 injuries to star players so far (haven't even looked at the injury totals for average players yet)

2) Started a 1920 league & haven't got out of spring training yet. I'm wondering why pitchers only go 4-5 innings per start in spring training? Will that change once the season starts?

For the injury question : Go to the Game setup and you will be able the adjust it in the Global Setup (injury frequency). For my league this is set to low.

No idea for the spring training question.

It's Spring Training. The game is coded so you don't see complete games or starters getting 6 ABs in the spring. Which makes perfect sense, since nobody throws complete games or plays the entire game in Spring Training.

It'll change when the season starts.

Thanks for the answers guys! Yeh, I don't care that the starters are coming out early, just wanted to make sure it wasn't going to happen in the regular season also.

Use a 6 man rotation, and and use top 2 pitchers at spots 6 and 7 (rotate the 6th starter). This way the younger pitchers get 4 starts and the gun players only start 2 games. That lowers injury probability by 50%! Same for batters. Put your top guys at 2 or 3 in depth
