I had to trade Souray because he kept sniping my forwards.

Man, I really hope the EA devs tune the injuries down a bit. This sounds like it could get pretty annoying.

After about a week in mine I had Horton, Paille and Krejci all out for 3-4 weeks with concussions and Ference was out with some 1-2 weeks with an arm injury.

I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure that none of the "gameplay" sliders have any effect when simming games, so bottoming or maxing out the injuries sliders shouldn't change anything anyway.

Then what would be the point of having an Injury Frequency slider?

I haven't seen any 1-6 day type injuries, and nothing longer than 12 weeks.. maybe the problem is that all the injuries are in the middle, 2-12 weeks, so the number of man-games missed might be somewhere near realistic, but how it's distributed is not, as instead of 2 guys being out for the season, you need to have 10 different guys out 3-4 weeks throughout the year..

I'm not sure, but how it's working currently is very annoying.

So after finishing my season...I'm not really bothered by the amount of games missed. Just thought I'd show everyone the breakdown (FYI I play as the Bruins):

5 players missed 0 games
2 missed 1
1 missed 2
1 missed 5
1 missed 6
1 missed 8
2 missed 12 (though some were healthy scratches for one player)
1 missed 13 (again, some healthy scratches)
1 missed 22
1 missed 25 (still injured though)
1 missed 22

Also, I imagine my injuries will only lessen as I upgrade my medical staff.

This sounds extremely realistic. If this is about where I finish most years I'm happy. I mean in a 5 year dynasty if I have one or two years where injuries demolish my team I'm not even upset, its fun to have to make due and play with minor leaguers.
