It's realistic, but I'm not sure we really need to have injury setbacks (altough they are already there). There is already users asking for removing injuries altogether or at least half the lenght of it.

As for putting lines informing us about the injuries, it might not be as easy. Since the injuries are calculated each day, I'm not sure exactly when you would get the message "oops, we were too optimistic, it will take longer".

Well I don't think there are people who ask for injuries to be halved, most people ask that at least we know what we're talking about when we see the recovery time. Besides we already have the same information in days for arena building (which may become longer or shorter over time). A range in days instead of a vague and dubious number of weeks would be good, especially if a more accurate range is given the better the physio is.

Also having some certainty that a higher level doctor does in fact reduce the length of an injury by a reasonable number of days when it is initially calculated would be nice. I'm saying this because the England NT has played 3 weeks alredy without the starting C and his manager has got a level 7 doctor...

Thats the beauty of the game. Why change it?

Not BBs mistake your NT has only one C.

How you can read "starting C" as "the only C" is mind boggling.

That's just inconvenient. Compare to the way injuries are currently listed, if they had "8-14 days" instead of "1 week" or "15-21 days" instead of "2 weeks", would already be an improvement. Then we all know it might be a day early or a few days late, but that's already a lot more reasonable than giving a number of weeks which is blatantly incorrect or misleading.

Nowhere in the world 1 week = 8+ days, except for this game. Does it not sound like a good enough reason to change?

Besides it's very obvious that the game counts injuries in days and not randomly, because after an injury drops from 2 to 1 week, it usually takes 7 days for the guy to come back.

I'm against removing injuries but I'm all for making people spend optional hospital fees to cut the injury time. Regarding the trainee issue, perhaps we should suggest tha people receiving training after an injury train 'harder' to make up for the lost sessions (ie for a 2 week injury with 3 training sessions missed, the trainee will get a 50% boost in training speed during the following 3 weeks)

Agreed. I suggested that as a "money drop" for people who have too much money too a month or two ago.

3 but do they really even do anything it's now almost day 17 of 1 week what's the point in even having a doctor if they don't do anything time to sack him is a sports doctor was this bad in real life they would be sacked

My arena has been within a day of completion for at least 5 days. I figure its one of those time warp thingummies.

I blame lazy workers and the holiday season for the delay. Its cool to make up some stories, don't you think?

Mind boggling, he says... xD Maybe I am a foreigner with bad reading skills. Or my SwagPhone has an awesome screen resolution, that makes it really hard to read. Whatever.

After all, its only the NT AND you have a replacement. It's not like your totally screwed now.

So that's pretty cool, that we have a unique situation here, don't you think? After all, we all love the high complexity of the game and nobody want's to be spoon fed. Those recreational players should go and play NBA Live Arcade mode...

I'm not sure why are you even arguing. A starter is a starter for a reason and in mid sized or small nations losing a starter can be a big thing. You put the focus in the wrong place.
The point was: missing 3 GS updates and 3 weeks worth of games with the highest level and most expensive doctors available in the game is outrageous
At the very least, we need some confirmation from the devs that a doctor level has some impact in reducing the probability of an injury and the length of the injury when it's not prevented. This is something that no user can test.

So that's not cool, that we have a stupid situation here, don't you think?

Labelling 1 week something that might last 2 weeks and more, is just stupid and at best misleading. Besides it adds absolutely NOTHING to the complexity of the game. If you put a 7 day range for the return of the player, instead of the (wrong) number of weeks, you won't mislead anyone nor you will give any additional information compared to what is already given.

Alternatively they should change the label to correctly reflect the highest number of weeks a player can be out for. Currently 1 week means anything between 1-14. When the injury happens it's 8-14 but it will not change for 2 weeks...
