I know most casual players would hate this, but for us sim guys I think it’s time for an updated injury systems.

Baseball injuries are so much different than other sports injuries and MLB the show does not even come close to accurately reflecting that. Heck this game doesn’t even have Tommy John surgery unless you go in and manually give someone elbow surgery and even then that doesn’t give you the accurate 12-14 month recovery. In real life pitchers go on the 60 day IL with lat strains. If I remember right this game has a lat strain as a day to day type injury. Elbow inflammation and hamstring strains are also a day to day thing on The Show.

We need Tommy John, we need accurate recovery timelines, rehab assignments in the minors, injury set backs while rehabbing, be able to back date IL placement, etc.

How about when a defensive player is too hurt to play the field, but can still DH like Ohtani last year. If I pitcher has a history of elbow or shoulder injuries that should effect his pitching attributes. Injuries should provide wear and tear over time. And we definitely shouldn’t have limited IL spots like we currently do

Thoughts?
