what drives this these days?  training, medical, or both?

thanks brosephus

I thought it was Health and Training.

"Training - This refers to the value allotted to preventing injuries. Training specifically refers to the preparations made by players and staff to keep the team healthy. While some players will always be more injury-prone than others,    spending money on training can significantly limit or minimize player injuries. In addition to preventing injuries your previous seasons budget will impact certain ratings during the offseason. The ratings that are impacted include power, stamina, durability, and velocity."

dammit, why is training like the most broken budget category ever?  it's basically like 'roids for your players.

I'd guess training has a more significant suppression effect on minor injuries, as opposed to the 60 day+ DL stint ones.

I honestly think training only keeps your health rating up. 

Training is one of those things you need to get to 20M pronto and leave it there.  Don't mess with the Gods.

There's no way this is true...  since I moved my training from 14 to 20 (a long time ago) injury duration is WAY shorter given the available range.

Injury duration is medical not training.

D'oh, good point.  Must have been an engine change when I ran my training budgets up.

I've always understood it to be that Training affects the likelihood of an injury of any type occurring and Medical affects the duration/severity/recovery of the injury.

I had 20m in training and still had twice as many players as the next team in one of my worlds.  Why?   With the medical bug, I stopped caring about health.

Until we get a "real" injury frequency, this conversation bores me.
