We have injuries, how about a way to measure them? Play-by-play is not in the bbapi. Injuries are not in the box score and not listed in player stats, etc. I'm convinced there's a flag for injury proneness, maybe its the down side to having a low hidden physicality rating.

Either way, we need the info to be able to make judgments on player purchases. Scouting each individual game is unreasonable and the current setup encourages data mining.

I've had a player that's been injured (in-game and post-game) a lot in the last few seasons. I counted 4 times in season 19 alone. Havent counted the rest, but this season was 2-3 so far.

The number of injuries to this one player really stands out. Total injuries for games he played in (for both teams) was, iirc, 12. Maybe its how many fouls were drawn? I dunno, but there's no way to track it to see.

Every now and then somebody gets bit by a shark

This is the case of a somebody getting bit by a shark multiple times. How can i have a team full of players that had similar mins, and most of them do not get injured at all for a season (19), while one gets injured 4 times. I haven't run the numbers for season 20 or 21 yet, but i know this player has been injured multiples times while most haven't been injured once.

Maybe it's due to the amount of fouls drawn. The affected player is one of my highest foul drawing players, but, for the season I ran numbers two other players were fouled just as many times and they totaled 1 injury between them both.

The random chance for this to happen in one season is high, but for it to continue for 2 more seasons after? If you have other documentation id love to see it. I stand by the suggestion and request to have more information on injuries though. At least make PBP available in bbapi.

All I will say is there are people that have been struck by lightning multiple times.

That's very helpful.

The realism peace of having injuries I understand...but its a major fun killer

I'm with you on that, but it seems the majority support it. This is a feature that decides trophies and seasons. Would be nice to at least be able track it which is not possible.
