Is your poor discipline = more injuries theory stacking up?

I think in this version you need to be able to rotate your OL and DL more often as drives tend to last longer. Which in turn means you need plenty of depth in those spots.
ive lowered the fatgue rates from around 55 to more like 50. Also starting to get some players back after my game with Alabama with only a few minor injuries in that one. Giving my backups a chance to improve. I would have been surprised with this many wins without all the injuries. I made a lot of moves in the offseason. Pick3d up arguelles and zavala to improve d line and arguelles just missed 3 or 4 games and zavala missed one or 2. Im just wondering when the wheels will fall off. This is not a really good team and i m thinking i should have more like 4 wins instead of 7
As for the injuries I'm thinking discipline MAY have to do with those players who keep having them. Out for 4 games; gets healed up gets injured first game back for several more games, that sort of thing. I can't test my theory out very much because I don't draft, trade for or pick up in free agency anyone lower than 70 discipline and preferably 80 and if i do out of absolute necessity they dont play often and are gone as soon as someone else is available and is financially feasible. Kind of the vince lombardi school of coaching.


When you say 'gets healed up' are they back to 100% or still carrying the injury at say 80. Do you ease players back in by putting them as back up on the depth chart for a week or two or throw them straight back in as a starter?
I ease them back in. Had 2 Dt's including no 1 and 3 on depth chart go on IR during the preseason. SS bedgood DE zavala and DT arguelles (all rookies) will be a strong core for defense for lotta years though. Patchwork d. Line has been hemorrhaging yardage on the ground especially last several games. I'm truly surprised i keep on winning.

There's a secret formula/high wire balancing act. 70% health at one injury spot is the magic # to putting a guy back in/fully used. 2 injuries I don't mess with = neck (must be 70+) to play because in the past a neck injury would explode in much, much worse if played and concussion. Concussion feels like a trap due to the low week amount and the unknown. I feel like messing with that could destroy a player, therefore, I wait for 100% full health on it.

Multiple injury spots on a player. (74/70 lets say - foot/ankle = sit) Our boy is on record as saying the sim engine will get you if you play a player with multiple injuries. I do but only based on quality of opposing GM, situation and the stakes.

Jimenez has been streaky but that i think has been due to injury woes on offensive line which has been almost as bad as the defensive line.

Heck of a battle London, I thought you were going to steal it 2-0 with that punt inside the one. I felt going in we were at least, going to have to split the series with you.

Our division has played super tough this season, could see all four of us in the 7 team playoffs!

GG Clarets. For awhile there,seems like every play someone or three was getting injured. Especially on your team. Im dreading looking at my roster. Our team finally got that part of game to manageable proportions with only 6 or 7 injured instead of 15-18. :(
