A realistic way of handling CEI

It seems to me that, years ago and maybe until just recently, this situation would have been handled as a "Career ending injury" immediately. What I saw just now was a heck of a lot more realistic; he suffered a torn ligament over a year ago, spent a year in recovery, and was actually in AAA rehab when he decided to give it up.

This guy was a star pitcher in my league and I was following his career. While it was sad to see him end up this way, it was also satisfying on another level to see him give it his best shot. Kudos to the developers. (Click images for a larger view.)

It is 1905 and he is 34 years old. His life expectancy is only about 3 more years anyways

These are in the game of course but I also feel like there are situations where it's immediately clear that a player's career is over and done with. Ray Chapman, obviously, but Mickey Cochrane had a similar end to his career. One could argue that Dave Dravecky turned out this way, the second time, in '89. JR Richard; granted that he had comeback attempts but these were never going to come through because what did his career in were reaction issues due to his stroke, not whether or not he could still pitch.

I have to say that I haven't really seen a lot of instant CEIs in the past couple versions of the game. I'm sure they're still there - you can read the injury text file to see that - but they seem like they're really rare.

I'm sure there are and I did not / do not mind them but unless somebody is killed outright (i.e., Chapman, but even he did not die until 12 hours later), it is quite odd to know that somebody's career is over right away.

This is, by the way, most pronounced when you have "Delayed Injury Diagnosis" set for "Never" but even when there is a delay, it's only a day or two. I would think most doctors and players are not going to declare "Career Over" even in that short span of time.

That's why I was impressed by how the situation above was handled.
