DtD Injury Puts Player on DL?

The Game · 05-07-2017, 01:05 AM

This is pre newest patch.
I am seeing this all over my leagues. A player gets a news listing of a DtD injury of several weeks and he lands on the DL. Why have it be a DtD if it is serious enough for a DL stint?

Didn't know where else to put this thread.

While the player could keep playing, it sometimes better to put the, on DL so they don't reinjure themselves or you can call up the backup because they will not be as effective.

You're not understanding what I'm saying. I am seeing many of DtD injuries on AI led teams saying they have a DtD injury lasting weeks at a time and they are all put on the DL. They shouldn't be DtD injuries if it means a DL stint.

The ai can choose to put players with any injuries on the DL or not. When it's a longer DTD injury, it chooses to put them on. You have that same choice yourself as a manager.

Not sure I see what the problem is...

Don't get hung up on the Day-to-day part, but rather think of it as injury you can play with but with reduced ratings. Sometimes that can last a couple of days and sometimes it can last 8 weeks until fully healthy in your situation. If that is the issue, the DL might be the right choice.

Yeah, exactly!

a DtD should not land a player on the DL. Also i dont see a DtD lasting 8 weeks IRL.

We're currently using DtD in a slightly different manner than you often think about it in real life. For us, it essentially means that he can play through the injury, but at a reduced rate. Think of it more like a nagging injury. So in a lot of cases, you'd probably rather DL a guy than play him quite injured. But certainly if you're in a playoff race, I'll play my guy as long as his legs are still attached to his body.

The players i posted are not on my team. They are on AI led teams and a few of them are in heated playoff races. The Empire will not win the wildcard without Sproston. Indians are out of the wildcard anyway i think, so Wild Thing going down isnt a big deal.

Ah, I see what you mean. Yes, we can look into that to see if there are cases where the AI should probably not be quite as strict at DL-ing injured players, especially down the stretch drive.
