Re: Too Many Injuries in MyGM

Oh look Khris Middleton one of the Bucks leading scorers is out 6-months with a Torn Hamstring and it's not even Pre Season!

Ya'll would be yelling at 2k if this happened in your MyGM though...

Re: Too Many Injuries in MyGM

Interesting. That's good news cause I would rather play MyGM honestly but was worried about the ton of injuries.

I'm honestly baffled but how some people see it, some don't. I'm on XB1 btw. I don't remember DL'in the update but my bro plays the game often when I'm not around so he could have.

I'm gonna keep knocking on this wood tho....

Re: Too Many Injuries in MyGM

What difficulty and sliders are you using? Also, have you turned down the injury sliders at all?

I use custom sliders. There is no injury slider in MyGM to my knowledge. I even turned up the durability slider to 70!


And to the kid who posted about Kris. Yes yes we get NBA players get injured. But multiple users on this website posting about MULTIPLE injuries in a game, with VERY similar descriptions (injury after jumpshot) seems a TAD fishy.

Re: Too Many Injuries in MyGM

Finished the 7th game of My League with the Blazers, McCollum gets another ankle injury coming down from a jumpshot (his 3rd in 7 games), but it was just a sprain. And just now was playing the 8th game vs the Suns, and Lillard breaks his ankle when coming down from a jumpshot at the start of the second half (also his 3rd this season, all happened the same way).

Like I said before, I really like the frequency of injuries and such, but this is pretty crazy (and kinda funny). I'll mess with the sliders and see if that changes anything. Ah, and no other players on the team have had any injuries so far, just those 2 over and over again like its stuck in a loop.

That's the thing: It's like the programming of the game is meant to mostly injure the stars. I'm not saying star players don't get hurt, but why would Curry go down while playing just 22 minutes, but Livingston would be fine playing over 30?

Bump because more topics are being made

Re: Too Many Injuries in MyGM

Played a play now with 98 bulls. Pippen and MJ both went down with ankle injuries. Pips was broken.

Re: Too Many Injuries in MyGM

I signed Greg Oden and he sustained an injury as soon as he accepted my offer.

Ahh that sux bro...

When I tried to sign Oden, he got injured while walking into my office so I just rescind my offer... dodge a bullet there!

Re: Too Many Injuries in MyGM

I agree, they need to tone down the injury frequency a little bit. In-game injuries are realistic but should not be this common. I noticed the most common in-game injuries in NBA 2K17 are sprained ankles and toes.

In my experience, this usually happens when you take a highly contested jump shot where the defender contests without jumping. My current myGM Lakers (10 min qtrs HOF) have encountered these a lot of times and I have caused some myself to the other team (not intentional of course, but I was manually contesting / holding L2). I was able to limit my own injuries/sprains by rarely taking contested jumpers but of course, I can't fully control that but it seems like sim injuries (AI vs AI) are more rampant this year and it usually happens to stars. In my current myGM season for the Lakers, I have faced Pelicans without A. Davis and Warriors without Steph while causing a sprained ankle injury to Klay in-game while contesting his shot (I don't usually jump on contests).

In my previous myGM (I restarted 3 days ago) where I played 11 games (10 min qtrs on Superstar). I had 3 ankle injuries to 3 different players, Russell, Ingram and Middleton (got from a trade). I also got a sprained knee injury with Gobert (got from a trade). All injuries happened in-game as I don't sim games. The max was 2-4 weeks so it was not that bad, but still, 4 starters missing games in the 1st 11 games of the season is pretty extreme and needs toning down

Re: Too Many Injuries in MyGM

I refrained from starting another MyGM because of this problem. I started 4 overall. Every time I had around 3-6 players injured in the first 2-3 games that is simply stupid. The same goes for the whole league. After 2-3 games there are usually 20-40 injuries, mainly starters and stars, who are out for at least 4 weeks each.

Re: Too Many Injuries in MyGM

Interesting how the focus seems to be on star players. My three serious injuries were to Paul George (4-6 weeks) and then to Myles Turner (2-3 weeks; collapsed lung!). Two games after returning from the healed lung, Turner sustained a 2 week ankle injury. I traded for Kevin Love, and he got injured in his second game, out 4-6 weeks.

***Important: Do any patch updates (for example, if they fix this problem) apply to a MyGM that has already started? One can hope. I am about 25 played games into the season, and would hate to start a new one. Have to admit, it has been fun to develop a story line based on Al Jefferson The Savior and The Return of Born Ready.

Re: Too Many Injuries in MyGM

Just started a 4th MyGM attempt.

First game, Horfor and Lopez get hurt. Second game, Gibson, Portis and Al Jefferson got hurt.

Yeah. There's no injury problem at all.

Re: Too Many Injuries in MyGM

I play MyLeague, not MyGM, so maybe it's different.

I've posted a lot about problems in MyLeague so far, but I have to day, I have had no problem with injury frequency or severity in that mode, over multiple seasons played/simmed.

Yes, some stars go down, and it sucks. But I have not seen that happen with a frequency that does not look like real life to me. In past years, there were too few injuries, especially nagging ones that knock of a few games here and there.

Re: Too Many Injuries in MyGM

I'm very late to the game here, I just picked up 2k17 and it's my first go at the series.


I did a google search as I'm 75% through my first season and none of my players have had a single injury. As a matter of fact, I'm still yet to see a single injury in this game in any game mode and I've played more than 50 games now.


Based on all the comments above I can only assume they patched an issue a while back? But I can only assume they patched it far too well and injuries just don't exist anymore. I bumped the sliders up to 75 and still no change. Is it just me?

Re: Too Many Injuries in MyGM

I hardly had any injuries and I won the chip with my Lakers. 3 ankle sprains during the season. And Brandon Ingram got injured in game 5 of the NBA finals and was out for I think it was a month. That's it!

A third of the way through the season I lower the injury slider to 35 and the only injury was the Brandon Ingram injury

P.S. this was MyGM
