how to set up manual injuries

Re: how to set up manual injuries

For guys that use multiple profiles...or single team franchises
Make sure the profile you are using is loaded .....do the steps noted early in the thread....and then with that profile still loaded hit the USE AS DEFAULT option if you are still not able to get to the screen to DL players and give them injuries for other teams.
It is the injury setting(ADVANCED GAMEPLAY OPTIONS) ...not the injury mgmt.

Wait, I'm sorry man... What?

So, let me get this straight...

In Franchise, I can use Manual Injuries even when I'm using 30-Team Control? This works in MLB 16? I'm sorry, I'm just at work and can't test this right now or I would.

You can use it with any amount of teams controlled.
Don't confuse it with the CPU ROSTER CONTROL option......which shuts off trades and injuries.....that option(it's ON/OFF).

Re: how to set up manual injuries

ok, something isn't clicking upstairs for me, lol, these are the steps i tried and it doesn't seem to work.
1. @ main menu of '16
2. R1 to Options menu?
3. select User Settings?
4.select Mode-Specific Options?
5. scroll down and change Injury Management to -Manual?
6. scroll over to Save Changes and select Use as Default?

i tried that and still can't control who gets injured.

-When you start the franchise don't enable CPU ROSTER CONTORL....It must be OFF
(I'm not yelling....I'm showing a menu option when using CAPS)
-USER SETTINGS
-GAMEPLAY OPTIONS(NOT MODE)
-ADVANCED(R1/L1)
There is where the INJURIES ON/OFF/MANUAL option is located.

Make sure it's your profile....hit USE AS DEFUALT(this is when you go back out to the main menu...the lower right hand corner box)

Injuries is under one of the gameplay option sections, press L2/R2 for the advanced stuff - its there.

Re: how to set up manual injuries

Yes...GENERAL...then hit the shoulder buttons to get to the ADVANCED section.
Injuries are towards the bottom.

YEAHHHHHHHHH, got it, thank you very much.

Re: how to set up manual injuries

For those of you who do not understand yet...

You're probably looking in "Mode Specific Options," you wanna go to User Settings and it's under there.

Also, if you want to control all 30 teams still and use the manual injuries you just have to check each team and control each team when starting your season. It's a good workaround.

Re: how to set up manual injuries

You can use it [manual injuries] with any amount of teams controlled.

Wait...really?
If you choose roster control OFF at the beginning of a season, but don't want movement in other teams transactions or lineups, you have to make all those teams 'human' controlled.
Are you saying I can choose to only set ONE team to human, keep roster control OFF to set my own manual injuries and still somehow not have transactions happen?...or am I misunderstanding you completely (in my defence, they have to make this easier to deal with one day)

Maybe it helps better to ask what I want to do...
Only 'HUMAN' control one team, manually control injuries for all teams, and impede all transactions of any kind. And if that's all possible, is it possible in both franchise and season modes?

No....you can't just choose one team and have no transactions.....you COULD do manual injuries that way though.

For what you want.....

Choose all 30 teams.
Your team all manual options
29 others set the profile to have injuries to manual(GAMEPLAY OPTIONS....ADVANCED....INJURIES) and then you can set the mode options any way you like for them as well.....if you want the CPU to do call ups....AUTO...if not...MANUAL....lineups/rotations....etc.
Now....make sure both profiles have trades to manual ...and set the injuries to manual. Then go to the USE AS DEFAULT option when the CPU team profile is loaded and hit that option.
Apply and save changes when you exit and you'll be able to give injuries to all teams and trades will only happen if you do them.

Ok, but there is one problem with that: one of my favourite things about The Show and really any sports game though not many allow it, is the ability to be playing while other games are going on in real time. It added a whole level of reality to my last season, where I did it for the first time since The Show 06. The pennant race is so much more fascinating when other teams are playing alongside you. FIFA does this too with actual broadcast announcements of other important games in the league while you're playing a match. Playing and keeping an eye on the ticker for out of town scores is, to me, an often ignored element of the game that provides more realism than even good graphics. And the moment you choose 30 team control, games only get played when a human plays them and you miss out on that "live scores" element that is so much fun for me.

I'll try what you said though, mknight, just to play with it because not being in the game right now, I'm having trouble envisioning what you're describing.

You go to TODAY'S GAMES and simulate all but the one you are playing.
It's easy to ignore the results......they will all show up appropriately on the scoreboards and ticker in "real time" according to your game time.

Oh, really? Get outta here, I had no idea. I played like that for years and I guess I never simulated the other games first. All I know is that when I played, it was just tickers the whole time saying what the game times were. Even if I was playing an evening and other games were day. It's just so distracting. So you're saying if I sim all the other games first and then play, they will run through the other games chronologically as though they were happening "live"? That's a very cool little detail programmed into the game if that's true.
Ok... now I have to go back and read what you said about how to get 1 HUM control, with manual injuries, but no transactions because I still can't believe that it's possible.
(While I have you here, unrelated, do you know of any downsides to downloading a PSN version of the game?)

Yes...if you sim them....that's how it will show....as if they are happening.
With profiles....you can set teams up to do whatever you wish really.
If you set both your profile and the one for the other teams with manual injuries and trades to manual....you will get no injuries besides the ones you set nor any trades except the ones you make.
You can have the CPU do the roster moves and lineups...scouting and training..drafting...signings....etc

Digital version?
Only that you can't return it/trade it......and you don't get the cool box!
