So during ST (while in rest status), one of my best players was injured for 100+ days with an injury of "shoulder surgery", which sucked, but it's part of the game. (already asked others about it here).

But now things have become very strange - I just went to take him off the DL and noticed that his injury has now changed from "shoulder surgery" to "shoulder soreness". The devs (in a ticket response at the time of injury) said they were hoping to change having non-playing devastating injuries and only have smaller injuries in those cases, but I'm just worried now if my guy got the ratings hit for shoulder surgery, but only the ratings recovery for shoulder soreness.

Ask the admin

Krindor, I responded to your ticket about 5 minutes after you sent it in. I needed some more information. Once you reply, we can investigate further.

I am curious will this basically help players with long term injuries recover completely, just trying to understand what it means for long term injuries and long term injury recovery bumps.

Thanks adlorenz, sent in the info. I'm OK with injuries (they happen, even when they're not in the play of the game) and I'm even OK with players not recovering completely when they get a particularly rough injury.

This one just caught my attention because I know they're trying to do some work under the hood (which I appreciate) and get how that sometimes has weird, unexpected effects. If his Injury changed, that's something new I haven't seen before and don't completely understand. Thanks for your efforts and for being so willing to quickly respond

Followup from site staff in case anyone was wondering - the change in injury designation was purely cosmetic. For all intents and purposes, the guy is still recovering from shoulder surgery. The code was modified (as mentioned in the release notes) to have fewer debilitating injuries for players that aren't playing.

With this new update, my guy never would have gotten the 100+ day shoulder surgery injury and would have gotten the weeklong shoulder soreness, but the recovery is all locked in when the injury occurs. So despite the name changing, it's still shoulder surgery that he's recovering from

Good I had a player do the same thing and was hoping to get a recovery like I used to get.
