Re: Let's talk injuries
I play with injuries at 51 and control all 30 teams. I would maybe even move my injury setting higher than 51 if I didn't control all 30 teams, but when controlling all teams and then managing all the injuries, I spend more time managing rosters than playing games which is not fun.
In my All-30 Teams Franchise: Currently through April 10th (4 games played for my Phillies) there are 26 players injured at the Major League level. Of those 26 players, 12 are actually on the D/L, of those 12 players on the D/L, only 5 are pitchers. In my 3rd game, I saw my first in-game injury when Scott Podsednik pulled up lame, and had a 9-Day groin injury, I 15 day DL'd him; prior to that, Lance Nix suffered an injury, but it did not occur in-game.
IMO, I think the injury setting I have at 51, is extremely low.
Hell in Spring Training, we've already had at least 2 pitchers require Tommy John surgery (Ryan Madson, Joakim Soria), ending their 2012 seasons.
Off the top of my head, I can count the following guys about to start the season on the D/L: Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Carl Crawford, BJ Upton, Michael Pineda, Felipe Paulino, Drew Storen. These are mostly guys who I knew would start the season on the D/L (Howard), or who I scanned the transactions on espn.com and saw that they were just optioned to D/L (Storen/Paulino). Once the season begins, and guys are going full-bore and pitchers are seeing their normal workload, the amount of injuries will only increase.
Don't want to be crass, but I think complaining about the amount of injuries and then dropping the slider makes injuries pretty much worthless.Originally posted by Edmund BurkeAll that is needed for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing.Comment

Re: Let's talk injuries
Originally posted by kpkpkpSounds like most of us go with 40-50 in range. I use 40.
6 Weeks in, and now I have two guys with 30+ day injuries. I have had 3 guys with minor 7 or 8 day injuries but they healed quickly.
The only thing I HATE in this game is that when a guy get's put on the DL, the game just does it automatically without asking you first.. And then once he's on the DL you cant move him to AAA or shift him around.. or even release or trade him! What the heck... thats so annoying.. It just puts guys on the DL and locks them in place automatically.
Does anybody know a way to promote/demote a guy once he's on the DL??
Whats worse is CPU teams don't replace guys that go on the DL on their teams. So when one guy gets hurt and goes to the 15 Day DL the computer then has 24 healthy guys and 1 DL guy at the MLB level... and they just play on with 24!! It's almost as if the CPU doesn't know well enough or is incapable of replacing a hurt guy on the DL to have 25 healthy guys..
Check out your franchise.. you'll see what I mean, several teams will be operating with 23 or 24 guys.
The DL is broken in this game.Originally posted by Edmund BurkeAll that is needed for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing.Comment

General manager options, promote someone from AAA, it will ask for a MLB player to get demoted.
Can't try right now cause I don't have injured players yet,
Let me know if you need more info, maybe I can look for last year exact post

Last year workaround was:

Ill test this in a bit. I want to play a full length match with injuries at 100 and see my results. Will post soon. And will post the results of replacing a dl guy with a AAA guy.Comment

Re: Let's talk injuries
I thought the CPU was not promoting players to fill in for hurt guys.. but I realized I was just seeing a recent injury and once I simmed to the next day the CPU had fixed their lineup.
I deleted my original post saying the CPU was messing up their DL so that people wont get confused. My bad!

If you want to move a guy on the DL from MLB to AAA do this:
-Go to the "organization summary" screen.
-Choose a AAA/AA/A player to promote to MLB.
-When it says you are over the limit at MLB it will ask you who to swap with.
-Choose the player on the DL, and voila!
If you try and demote a DL player in ANY other way, it will tell you that you cant move the player... but this method works!Comment

Re: Let's talk injuries
OK, at first I thought there was no way to promote/demote a guy on the DL, But there actually is. I looked into this method above and it is the only work-around to promote/demote a guy on the DL... it works!!

Oh 2k, your failure in little details has once again come to our advantage. Thanks for proving this. My franchise is still in spring training and didn't want to start a new one.Comment

I lost Vance Worley to a UCL Elbow Tear for 90 Days. Happened in his 1st 2012 start, against the 2nd batter he faced. An injury like this would basically require Tommy John surgery if I am not mistaken, but by 2K standards they have Worley coming back at late June/early July.
My slider is @ 51 .... hopefully this is the first/only major injury I suffer. I will say that Worley's 2011 workload took a bit of a toll on him
Anyone know how much your Staff Trainer affects your injuries? Phillies' trainer is one of the worst in the game...via a quick scan of MLB2K trainer ratings for Recovery and Durability.
