Major injuriies as part of game: Like or Dislike? Topic

Just curious as to others' opinions. For me, I'm tired of having key players go down with career altering injuries. I don't mind the two week variety, nor even the 2 month occassional hit. I'm talking about the year long, ratings are never coming back hits that never seem to happen to easily replaceable players. I don't know if it happens more or less frequently than in real life, but I just don't think it adds to the enjoyment or richness of the game.

I don't think they're there to make the game more enjoyable.  They're there to make the game model real life, and to add to the challenge of running a dynasty team.

It's an aspect of the game that somewhat(because injuries are FAR MORE INFREQUENT IN HBD) models real life.   I'm sure no one likes their top player to lose an arm.  But, if there were no injuries, we're playing SLB.

yeah, i'd be surprised if anyone pipes up and says they love major injuries. unless they aren't the recipients of them and they won because another team's player received one.

I'd like to play 13 1/2 inning games, and for my guys to average 173 HRs per season while hitting .632.

Do I like when they happen to my player? No. Am I glad they are part of the game? Yes
