Q: Can I still play a player whose health is less than 100%?
A: Yes. Depending on the type and severity of the injury, you'll see the player's health drop. If a player's health drops below 50%, he'll be forced to sit out until his health is at least 50%. Once his health is above 50%, you can choose to rest that player by setting his target minutes to 'rest' (only injured players may be rested). If you choose to rest him, he will not dress for the next game, but he will continue to practice. If you choose to play him, he may not be as effective due to the type/severity of his injuries. Playing him while injured may also increase his chances of further injury.
I always thought if you put him at "rest" he would not practice and his ratings would go down. Is the FAQ wrong here?
(Edit) Answer : FAQ is correct. Practice time is impacted by the extent of the injury, not whether he is set at "rest" or not.

17 mins in Cond and Reb

As I posted above CS says the reason is health below 75. This was the first I had ever heard of this.

This happend a lot in the old days when bad injuries were more common. You would get hurt, lose a player AND he would get worse. I thought it was 70% that he stopped practicing at.

I had it happen to my old player at Alfred. He got hurt, dropped to like 40% and ended up losing a lot of ratings. By the time he could play again, my back up PF (SO) passed him because he dropped like 20+ points IIRC.

I am interested because my starting PG just went down to 50%.



ALthough if I understand right in the new one small injuries will be more common, not large ones.
