MS is an ingame injury, and it can be cured

Apparently in V15 you can catch MS while playing baseball, but recover from it fairly quickly.

I'd view that one as episodic. I don't know whether there's a code that will periodically allow any symptoms to prohibit full capacity, but it'd be interesting to see that, and unfortunate if it evolved into a disintegration. But for now, like I say, a period of difficulty.

Thanks for the observation, though. Not sure how, or if, this should be addressed.

That sounds reasonable. Perhaps they should consider renaming this injury "MS Exacerbation" or something like that to show that it's a flare-up to avoid the obvious question of insensitivity. Knowing someone that struggles with MS, I know I was a bit disturbed when I first read the OP, but reading your post chilled me out. Clarifying that it's a flare-up would likely do the same for others.

FWIW, there have been some athletes with MS, but I wouldn't say a lot.

MS is currently incurable. For that reason it really shouldn't be trivialized in this way.

Yes I know I had a friend whose mother died of MS.

I saw this in 14 as well, it was James McCann and was a "career ending injury" for him

I agree.

As it should be if it is in the game at all.
