What slider do you put injuries on for realistic results?

[Chai2112]

I want to get realistic injuries in my Franchise. Anyone figure out the best place for the Injury slider to achieve this? Thanks.

I think 8 is the way to go.

You will get nagging injuries as well as DL stints. Your depth will be tested.

8 for games you play and 2 for games you sim is what another person came up with when they tested and compared to real life. I would like to see improvement in this area for sure though I haven't played enough '17 to see yet how it holds, but it seems like too many injuries are season ending when most of them should be short term. How neat would it be to have someone on the shelf for a hammy pull and you expect to get them back in 7-10 days and after 7 days it says they'll needs another 5 to 7 days. That happens a lot IRL.

I would like to see what data leads to that being realistic. The MLB DL list is long, let alone injuries that were day to day.

The majority of injuries I've seen with the slider at 8 have been day to day and 10 day DL. I've had some longer and one or two season ending injuries as well.

Injuries happen. And they happen a lot.

9. Mathematically calculated to be best setting since Show '15.

what about for games played with human vs cpu interaction; or QM mode ?

I currently have it @ 7.

I use 8 for both played and simmed games.

how are injuries ?

see, I quick manage every single game on the schedule.

They are realistic -- I haven't found QMing versus simming to cause a difference in the frequency

I don't like changing sliders between games or during games. I leave mine on 7 all year long

Is it not true that there are more injuries that happen during simmed games than played games?

They happen at the same rate. Keep in mind, when you're simming you're simming 90 teams. When you play, it's just two.

By my calculations, in 2017 so far, since opening day, injuries occur at a rate of approximately one per week, per MLB team. That rate was the same for each month, both April and May. That isn't DL, that's everything from Day to Day, to season ending injuries. Anything that hits the injury report basically. Obviously some teams have more, some have less. But that should give some starting ground to see what works best, if youre not sure.

I use 10 on played games and still very rarely see them.

Sim at default 5 for MLB games only. Sim at 1 for Minor league games!
Very realistic number of injuries from day to day to DL inhuries when simulating. Playing game injuries still need some work.

Looking about the DL at mid season this year, the average just for MLB rosters was in about 5 per team . . . but if you add in the minor league DL, just counting AAA, AA, and 60% of A+ (which is really the only portion the minor league system MLB the show simulates), you will see an average of about 12 players per team.

I know there have been complaints about higher settings causing too many minor leaguers to be on the DL, but, in real life, there are a lot of injured minor leaguers. For realism, you want a setting that sees about 2-8 major-leaguers, and 8-16 total players, on the DL around the All Star break. Anything less than that is not realistic. For me, I have found that a setting of "8" for simmed and played games seems best.
