Inspired by the BB Injuries thread, I think it would be a good idea to let players play through their injuries so that injuries on star players will not be crippling to teams. It would also be nice if aside from the number of weeks estimate, there is also a % recovery indicated. To keep things balanced, if a team lets a player play through his injury, that player has a chance of aggravating his injury. Aside from this, the injured player will also suffer a temporary drop in his skills until the injury is fully healed. The chance of aggravating the injury and the drop in skills may be proportional to the % recovery.

To add to this, I also propose that better doctors have better estimates of the % recovery of the players. This will then make them more valuable. To give an example, a minimal doctor may say that a player is already fully recovered when he really isn't. The player plays the next game and then aggravates his injury.

Aside from this, the injured player will also suffer a temporary drop in his skills until the injury is fully healed.

This sounds great! Would perhaps be even better if you could see which type of injury it is and then have the drops relative to the injury, like for an example, if it's a leg injury, driving and rebounding is effected, while the shot categories is not. But it's a big step and as we don't even see what injury it is now your ideas great enough.

I agree that this should be implemented!

I don't like it. Either you are injured or not. Some additional formulas just make the game more complicated. We absolutely don't need that.

Why not? What I like about this game is its complexity. Because of the complexity of the game, most of the time I am not sure if I will win or lose, and that is what makes it exciting.
