Injury Ratings

Thanks for the feedback, Oldtimer! It's nice to see you too!

Those settings- how are they working out for you? I've found that with stock settings, injuries seem to come out like a hill; low at the beginning, peaking midway through the year, then all but disappearing towards the end of the season. I can understand how sometimes that might happen, but it seemed that this was the pattern each and every year. I don't want to consistently lose half my starting lineup but at the same time, I want that possibility to be a looming obstacle and I want it to where such a horrific, season-killing event, happens from time-to-time. We've all seen countless situations where real-life teams are doing extremely well, then they get bitten by the injury bug and lose 2 starting pitchers, 2 or 3 position players and then have to hobble along for the rest of the year.

I like the pressure and the challenge of platooning a position, or calling up a young hopeful player earlier than I would have liked, or force-converting a utility fielder into a starter, or even wheeling and dealing and trading for a short-term veteran to fill in the gap.

I like it when the game gives me more of a challenge than just beat the other team.

I'll try your suggested setting and report in on how they do. Thank you again!
