Please turn on injuries. I know that rosters will be shelled from day one but hear me out. We can use it as talking points about certain players careers being cut short or that a guy has the injury bug. That and I am a lover of chaos.

The only downside to turning them on is that players would miss sims through no fault of their own, and they could even have their entire careers derailed by randomness. For this reason alone, I don't think it's a good idea. But to play devil's advocate, it would make some currently irrelevant stats more relevant, and I think it would add some immersion. It looks a little weird to see every one playing the exact same amount of games every year.

Turning injuries on is a great idea! Real life sports often depend heavily on having depth pieces step in and play big roles when players go down. I feel like most teams that win championships have some cool story about a guy who either barely cracked the roster or was brought in from outside to fill a hole created by injury and ends up making a big splash to help push the team over the edge. OBVIOUSLY that will translate well to sim leagues and absolutely no one will get fucked by injuries in a way that makes them leave the league or lose interest. No chance.

Injuries would really ruin the fun of earning TPE. If your player gets an injury and doesn't play during their peak season it'll feel as though all the effort to earn was wasted.

turning on injuries would add further realism to the league but no one wants to miss a game so i think it's a generally bad idea

I think it would be a fun thing but also a very bad thing. If to many players get hurt, then teams will have to play less players and that would be a problem.

Injuries would be incredibly stupid because putting all your time and effort into a fake hockey league just to watch your ACL tear in pre-season after getting to 2k tpe and blowing your career would cause internet terrorism and honestly, deservedly so.

I don't really know but the SHL probably doesn't have the roster space to even take into account injuries as well as the fact that the whole point of this game is to have fun and see your player, your player being out for like a bunch of games sounds SAD.

It would affect scoring a little bit and also if ur best player gets injured it's wraps for ur team if they not a top team and also some players could be chasing records.

Turning injuries on would be bad because my old ass would be more irrelevant than it already is. I'm what, 38 years old in game? Older than that? I'm blowing out my ACL every other game if they turn on injuries, I wouldn't even get a sniff of action.
RE: S73 mPT#0: hidePainHarold.png - LordBirdman - 09-26-2023
Injuries would be a horrible idea for league activity and general enjoyment because having your player have a season ending injury would kill motivation to earn or follow the league that season.
RE: S73 mPT#0: hidePainHarold.png - lore - 09-26-2023
Turning on injuries would be a bad idea because everyone complains about everything already and this would just add even more possibilities to the pile. But real answer: bad because we have to spend a lot time and effort on each player and this would be demoralizing.
RE: S73 mPT#0: hidePainHarold.png - Schwartzy - 09-27-2023
Injuries are a good idea, it makes the game more challenging and that can impact teams a lot. The downside is that the league might not have enough players to turn on injuries.
RE: S73 mPT#0: hidePainHarold.png - Katth - 09-27-2023
Turning injuries on is completely random and can severely impact a players career and enjoyment in the league. So I am against turning it on as we should focus on retention.
RE: S73 mPT#0: hidePainHarold.png - SewingWithNancy - 09-27-2023
I think it would be a great idea if and ONLY if we were able to control the severity of injuries. Going down to a season ender or a career ender would be awful for player retention for brand new people to the league. However, missing 2 or 3 games here or there due to a hamstring pull would actually make the league a little more interesting. Best player on the team goes down for 4 games and causes the standings to get tighter could be cool.
