I have yet to have a game without at least one player injured (currently have 3 starters out). Perhaps it's just bad luck on my teams part, but this seems a tad too frequent. Is this something that you're keeping an eye on Steve? Just curious. Thanks

Having longer injuries also increases the perception concerning frequency because the player is simply out longer and thus it’s more visible. Overall, I like the way the change is working. I has definitely made team depth important and still maintain a realistic level of playing time for star players. Enjoy the game, Steve

I think the idea is that one day type injuries are more like fatigue and making sure players get a rest once in and while. Steve
