Injury Effects

I typically don't play anyone who is Questionable but what are the effects if I do. Does the body part that is injured matter in how he will perform, is there a general decrease in effectiveness or is it only a higher chance of re-injury?

Each body part can result in a 25% reducton of ratings with a zero score. Alot of the part of the body it effects is pretty clear like leg will effect speed , arm will effect accuracy, but ones like neck i never came across any verification on what it exactly effects.

But does ankle effect punish? Or does a concussion effect intelligence?
I have never came across any stuff from admin like that.

But for an olineman I have for the first 10 seasons he took on 32 injuries and one being serious. In total he missed only 16 games in 10 yrs. So there is definitely a strategy going on. He probably was playing injured Alot of the time and could have healed up . But I don't sit an olineman for a leg injury but I will and arm. The opposite strategy I apply to dbs

And yes it does increase your chances of another injury. And serious ones effect retirement

Thanks for the info. Trying to decide if playing my #1 RB (by quite a bit) in the Championship game tonight will be the better play. He is Questionable with a 27/100 rating on his ankle. I sat him in the League Championship game but fumbles have been a problem for his backups.

Yeah, debating it. Wish it wasn't an ankle and likely to impact speed.

I would, but only because it's the championship and (by my ratings) he's far better than your alternates. Statistically though, you have 4 guys averaging 5+ypc.
It might help to raise your fatigue setting for one game.

Raise fatigue, so a lower rating, right? That will cause the to cycle in and out more often. I haven't played around with fatigue too much.

Yes, I think. A lower number pulls him out faster.

You can set it by position, but he's a WR playing RB unless I'm mistaken, so I'm not sure which position setting would govern.
