Re: Injuries & A Suggestion

You have to go into Game Play Sliders, and scroll to the bottom. You can turn it down to 20 to 25 and it won't suck.

I like the trainer idea, its been suggested a lot, but EA hasn't added it yet. They also need to rework coaches. I mean, its almost as if Associate and Assistant coaches are pointless. I know people say its helps with Power Play and PK, but I fired mine for a couple years and just had a goalie coach and a head coach and I played just as well.

    @IrishOwl this is correct. with the slider around 20-25 I normally get a handful of minor injuries in both NHL and AHL per year which I like since its realistic. Occasionally I will get one major injury per year which keeps guys out 1 month or so. Just sucks when they tend to happen in bunches. I keep 7 D on the NHL roster normally and as the trade deadline was approaching I was planning to move on from some older Dmen with expiring contracts... then I had 3 Dmen go down. Ended up bringing up 2 guys and trading for a low cost veteran on a 1 year deal just to keep me afloat. I love the realism though

    I completely agree! I love when that stuff happens (and hate it at the same time), my issue is with 50% on the sliders, I get a month long injury every month AND I got two career ending injuries - one on a 22 year old Medium Franchise. It was so angry.... I had him signed for a 8 year 9 million dollar contract and he kept recovering only to get injured again.... It was so bad.
