Does the injury bug still work in the new update? I had a guy out for 95+ games, and he only got 1 bump in recovery despite $16M in health. Is it worth it to leave him on the DL now that he's recovered? Or is he done? 

For some reason I can't link him properly, it keeps linking in another player, but the player is Phil Grimm on my only team.

I think the bug is actually a bug now.   Some guys only get 1 recovery cycle and they don't return to 100%.    Some guys get 2 recovery cycles and they get better than 100%.

So no point keeping him on the DL anymore?

I wouldn't say that.  You have a 12 game lead and he hasn't rec'd a "regular season" cycle.   You can wait it out.   Maybe he gets another.   But, once he gets the "reg season" cycle, it's not happening.

And do you find that it works better on the 60 DL compared to the 15 DL, even if a guy is on the 15 DL for recovery cycle or two?

I've never had a guy on the 15 get two recovery cycles.

I had a guy last season (after the update) go down for 3 days with a sore back. I was out of playoff contention so I put him on the 60 and his stats skyrocketed. It can still happen.

I was under the impression that it has to be the 60, never the 15.

I've only got one cycle on three different players now.   I'm thinking something changed.   And that makes medical far less valuable.

I've got a guy who just went down with shoulder impingement at game 82. Put him on the 60 day DL. My medical is at $20 million and he has a 90 makeup. This will be a good test to see if things have changed.

Davis isn't getting another cycle.   The season is almost over for the other two so MC will be taken off the DL to be added to the playoff roster.

Only one instance that medical got the player back up to where they were before their injury and nothing really above except for Benitez very minor gain. Looks like it's time to drop medical down to $0.

MC got a regular season cycle at game 161.   He's not getting his ratings back either.

Half of me wants to congratulate everyone who whined themselves out of a good thing.  I never thought of it as a "bug", I figured you get a bonus for budgeting max Medical.

The other half says, well, if they made it so that anything less than 16 million scouting is kinda useless, at least they gave me somewhere new from where I can shift the extra cash over.
