Durability ratings

[Cavicchi]

Let's use Stanton as an example. He played every game into September before getting hurt by a pitch. Going by what I've seen in the past, getting hurt penalizes a player by reducing his durability rating. Thus, Stanton will likely end up with some Durability rating in low to at most mid-eighties. How do you people feel about getting hurt like Stanton and have it affect players durability rating?

As this is pertaining to your statement. I think his durability will be at the high 80's to low 90's.
In the past year's version of the Show it seems like the ratings are based on the previous real life season and not on the career stats.

I have no problem with SDS using injuries to formulate the Durability attribute.

Re: Durability ratings

Ratings are weighted over a 3-year period so he most likely had a lower durability rating to begin with (he missed 46 games in 2013 and 39 games in 2012). If anything his durability will actually increase for 2015.

So you feel the cause of injury has no bearing on the matter, whether hit by pitch or other.

Exactly. If you don't play, for whatEVER reason, injury on the field or injury Dancing With The Stars,
or if you don't play because of PED suspension, or you don't play because you're a bench jockey,
I want to see that reflected in the Durability Attribute.

I think ratings are weighted over a 3 year period with the last year being worth 50% and the other two the remaining 50%.

Don't quote me, but I believe it was mentioned here before, by one of the devs.

Okay, so you feel getting hit by a pitch injury should be reflected in Durability.

Durability, for better or worse, is related to injuries and games played. Take a scroll through the list of possible injuries the game allows to be used. Some are not all the players fault. Head contusion or something to that affect is listed. So lower durability could potentially have a player get an injury through no fault of his own. Lawrie is considered injury prone as well and has been hit by pitches in the hands and missed time. Is that his fault? No but we still count the days he missed regardless.

Do you think getting hit by pitch injury should be tied into Durability?

Re: Durability ratings

I think it should. Everybody's body reacts differently. Granted, this is all a trauma injury but the varying degrees of bruising, for instance, can determine if they can play through it or not. Some people will have a contusion and need stitches. I don't care if he got hit in the face, maybe someone else would have gotten out of the way. No reason to have to open up several ratings for different injured areas which is the slippery slope you are going to champion.

This is the best point in this thread.
Until we get a separate injury and durability attribute....we have to deal with it.

Asking if HBP should be "tied" into durability is pointless if we don't have an alternative.

Maybe if enough people felt it is important there would be an alternative.

Far too late for them to do anything about this in 15. I don't care if a guy misses 50 games because he was hit in the face or 50 games because of a visa issue. He still missed 50 games.
