I believe it was in the news that they tweaked the injuries a bit.
It might be possible thought that it was tweaked by tweaking the doctor's effect. So if you have a low level doctor you will notice no diffrence at all...

Not sure if this is the case, but I'm prety sure they made the change they anounced already...

hmm, maybe you are right, ...no wait, for sure you are right, there absolutely IS a diffrence, it would be totally useless to include doctors if this was not the case.

But...

maybe you are wrong about the injured players that won't need treatment if they get injured if you have a higher level doctor. Why?
Simple,
I , with Max Paine, had the same thing 2 or 3 times, injury, but no treatment needed, the player was just injured for the rest of the game, but was back in business for the next game.
o maybe it's a coincidence that you had not 'week'injuries yet... I'm not conviced that it is clear this will be the case for everyone hiring a higher level doctor, it might be some luck.

If we want to get a clue about the effect of the doctors, I think we must find as many managers as possible which each agree to keep their doctor for 1 full season, and then they keep track of all the injuries, and recover time, after the season we group results by doctorlevel, and then we have something to compare. I also think we need at least 5 people with the same level doctor to get usefull results (to avoid coincidence)...

don`t forget that doctors level deteriorate during time...but still conclusion can be reached, i think...

true, but when a new doctor with your level comes around, you can replace him.
Or it can be agreed upon that the doctor is not to be replaced, and detoriation is more or less the same for everyone in which case comparison is very possible indeed.

this is better option...for "scientific" reasons and not for manager of team which participates in experiment...

ofcourse.
But I think this is the case with all studies.
studies are an investment which means it costs you know, so you can benefit in the future.
I think many at this moment are experimenting no various things knowing that it's posibly not the best for their team, just to find out what they can do best in the future. Others will noly do what they think is best and don't find ouit new things until they read about other's findings and switch when they see something is better.
Everyone is free to do as he pleases, but I don't doubt there are enough willingly to sacrifice a little in order to gain much. The ones who won't will benefit afterwards as well, but hey, that's the way it is. ;)

So far I stuck with Max Paine.
As long as I nkow so little about the doctors (and keep being so lucky not ot have too many injuries) I think I will stick to him.

Unless I change my mind between this moment and the moment we start up the study, I volunteer to be in the first group. ;)

I had Max Paine until my Top Center got injured for 2weeks. I got a lvl6 doctor in an effort to have my player ready this week. The week passed and i still have to wait for the next week. This week, my back up point got injured for two weeks, I dont know if by next week he will be able to play. I dont know if the lvl6 doctor shortened the duration of the injury for the pg. That is, the duration would have been longer if i didnt have a lvl6 doctor.

its very diificult to say. Everyone has got only a few informations.

I have had a level 6 myself. And I had an 8 week injury of a 21 year old. In the beginning it seemed that the doctor was able to lower one week injury in only 6 days. then a few weeks later in took him 7 days to decrease injury length 1 week. So my first assumptions were that the sublevel of my doctor had decreased. However a had 3 more 2 week inury during that time. Most of those injurys and most of them took 6 days...

next guess: my 2 weeks injurys are a little younger (20,19), so this might be the tiny bit which made the 1 day difference...???? maybe

i have heard from somebody who still has Max Payne. He told me that Max neede 10 days to cut of 1 week injury...

maybe we can collect some more data on this topic, to figure out the differences between the doctors
