    Errors and Injuries...are they in this game?

    I purposefully forced two errors with the throwing meter last night. However, I have yet to see a bobbled grounder in 15 games, or a dropped popup, etc.... being that there is no error slider, is it even possible for the fielders to make errors?

    Haven't seen even a minor injury, but I'm still in spring training. Maybe they are off for that mode, but I didn't see an option for it.

    It is of note that I haven't downloaded the first patch yet, if it has been released, so if the patch addresses these issues then the mods can close this thread.

    Any help?

    I was playing as the White Sox and had some confusion in the outfield. The ball was hit to right-center field. Technically Quentin(RF) should have made the catch as he had the best angle on it, but somehow Rios(CF) tried to step in at the last second and make the catch and it hit off his glove and dropped for a double I think.

      No errors or injuries for me yet. I even had a ball come off the CPU's bat and hit my pitcher real hard - no injury.

        I'm begnning to wonder about the injuries myself. I've only played through a few games of Cactus League ball with my White Sox so far, so maybe I just haven't gotten to that point.

        I know last year they had a problem with injuries(at least in my experiences). If a guy dove for a ball or touched the wall at all he was out with an injury(often times for an extended period of time).

          so no injuries being noticed in games played, but they do pop up normally in SIMMING, right, i hope?
          I know NBA LIVE didnt have in-game injuries

                Played a lot of games so far and have seen only one error, called last night on my pitcher. Hard roller hit between 1st and 2nd. First baseman hustles to his right to scoop it up and my pitcher runs over to cover first. He grabs the toss but the animation stutters for a second before he attempts to tag the runner instead of heading to the bag. Well, he apparently ends up missing the runner as he runs by. The commentators make no mention about it, but at the end of the inning I notice the score shows me with an error.

                That's the only one I've seen, and the animation wasn't real clear on it to begin with. That animation where the pitcher heads over to cover first gets pretty quirky anyway.

                I've seen no injuries yet. At all.

                  Regarding injuries: I posted the below in the "Off-line Franchise Talk" thread.

                  P - Brian Matusz, 60 day DL.
                  P - Darrin Stanley, 60 day DL (CPU generated player on STL).

                  Other injuries by position: 4 1Bs, 2 2Bs, 1 SS, 1 LF, 5 CFs.

                  I also looked at minor league injuries, there were two injured pitchers there, and about the same or slightly more from position players. There also appears to no longer be a durability rating for anyone as I didn't see a setting for this when creating Dominic Brown or editing some other players.

                  I'd like to know where 2K is coming up w/ this whole rehab start thing as there's likely not much opportunity for that given pitcher injuries are still few and far between.

                    Maybe Throw Meter slider increase will produce more errors, but there is no injury slider like past years. This is a good example of why fewer sliders hurt the game.

                        The only injuries I have had were during sims. I have yet to have an injury happen during a game. I did have one player dayan viciado get a mild concussion playing base ball somehow. I would rather have this compared to last year though. Also all my injuries have been to position players thus far.

                          I was playing my franchise and in the 9th inning down by a run, and with 0 outs and one man on first Alex Rodriguez hit a fly ball to center. Jacoby Ellsbury settled under it, and it popped out of his glove. My lead runner advanced all the way to third, I managed to tie it, and then in the 13th I got a hit and drew some walks, Alex hits a grand slam, and then it was game over.

                          I've seen guys get pulled off the bag from bad throws and stuff. I've definitely seen errors in this game.

                            Hopefully this gets patches. I've yet to see any either (only 5 games though).

                              Still no injuries, and my fielders are all perfect. I have seen only 2 errors, and that's when I intentionally filled the throwing meter past the green zone. The catcher threw high to first, the first baseman had to jump, and the runner was safe.


                              And before anyone tries to make the case that this is realistic, don't bother:

                              Washington led the majors last year with 143 errors in 162 games.
                              Pittsburgh had 73 in 162 games.

                              A realstic number would be anywhere from an error every other game to an error every game, on average.

                              As for injuries, I'm just disappointed, because there isn't a fix. But I won't dwell on it, because I had to play 2k9 without injuries because of the disabled list bug.
