Challenge Mode

Dyzalot · 07-22-2018, 02:15 PM

Why can't I play challenge mode with the injuries set to "high"? Is that considered an advantage for the player over the AI? It is the one thing that keeps me from being able to enjoy that mode of play.

I think the mode is locked to keep the player from turning injuries off for their game and on for others. They have to pick a setting that will work for all eras, and high would be a disaster in the 19th century or even deadball era.

Seems strange that they couldn't just grey out all of the options that result in less injuries than the default.

Then you could use the default (lowest) for your game and the highest for the other games.

I don't know what you mean by that.

1. Quickplay your game with injuries on the default setting.
2. Sim all other games with injuries on highest setting.

Hence, an advantage over players that use the default setting for all games. In order to avoid this exploit, the developers have locked the injuries to one setting for all.

Just lock the choice in at set up. Or, since it is supposed to be "challenge" mode how about having "high" be the default. Is it supposed to be more challenging with less injuries?

The main reason I don't play in challenge mode is I can't play with injuries on high.

Again, you have to allow for 19th century and deadball eras where there would not be enough players available for high injuries to work well.

No reason that can't be a part of the set up as well. If you choose before some set date for your league then the default is "normal". Not having "high" available, which is really just "realistic", when playing a "challenge" mode seems a bit silly.
