I'll probably get shot for suggesting this but I think it'd be nice to see a few more injuries...

I've been playing two full seasons now and maybe I've been extremely lucky but have only had 2 injuries... Don't want to see loads of players out with long term ones. But think a few more miss one or two games type injuries would be good.

It would add a bit of realism and make squad depth much more important which is what I'm getting at. With teams starting to realise the salary cap people will start cutting their squad down to the minimum possible. It could be possible to cut it down to 15 quality players on defence and offence and if your only picking up one injury a season whats the point of having a 'squad'? Fill the rest of the DC with special teamers and draft picks who arent quite ready yet.

I feel that if players picked up a few more small injuries than squad managment would become more important.

Another thing I thought of is that it prevents the boom and bust approach.

In another game I play people will buy a load of 16-18 year olds train them up until they peak 27/28, dominate for 2-3 years then when those players retire and they start to drop down divisions, give up and quit. In the long, long term having more importance on a larger squad might prevent this and keep people in the game.

sounds like a shockingly bad suggestion .... too much random = dice-rolling

I prefer games of skill, not dice-rolling.

But will it not make the game more skillful? Anyone can build a strong ~35 players and do well, but only the better managers will be able to handle a squad of ~50 and know when to sell/buy/promote etc.

At least thats the way I see it... bigger squad to manage = greater skill required to do well

EDIT: And this goes back to ya I've a 16yo with 38str uncapped ~30 int and ~45 tw. I could start throwing all my points into him and have an unbelievable lineman. And if I only need ~35 players i can do that. But again if I need ~50 need to think more about how to approach ya prospects. Therefore more skill. Again just my opinion.

You have been lucky, I've already had 4 injurys this season, one of them severe..

Go through the injury tab to check the amount of injurys. Quite alot, don't think it needs to be tweaked.

I had this season even 2 at same time on one training update

But because have big roster with depth it was ok

I think the current system makes it easy to play risky with small roster because it does not need lot luck to go through season even without any injury

But we had a poll for more injuries and most manager voted against, so it is just hope for new poll and then more manager want a change

And i dont think that there will be change

Hard to say how many injuries there are on average, I suppose only Peter knows that. I don't see it as not needing skill as a manager, quite the opposite in fact. A skillful manager would create depth so that the drop off isn't huge.

A change on the suggestion could be the level of the physical trainer could affect the injury rate. Perhaps making that trainer more expensive would be a good idea too.

True, the majority voted that suggestion down. When I started the suggestion for more injuries I was under the impression it is to easy, and therefore I would like to change it...

However...
