New Injury Charts

Cool! Nice change!

REAL managers are faced with terrible injuries to his players all the time and there isnt anything he can do about it, We as computer managers face the same woes but ya know what-it aint no fun! When my star player goes down for 15 games my season can be shot and it sucks. However, in Strato World it CAN be fixed. Eliminate injuries!!!!! Make them all minor-max three games. Use at bat appearences as criteria( player can only bat as many times as he actually did). This is all about skill in buying and managing players yet we throw a huge luck factor right in the middle of it all. I feel way more pain in my in juries and derive very little joy in YOUR injuries.

This is all about having fun. Yes, my teams mostly suck but I can live with my foilabilities but losing to pure dumb luck come on man,

STATS used to have a similar online game (they may still - I don't know) in which each team was allowed to carry 3 or 5 minor-league players that did NOT count against the active roster cap ($80M Standard in SOM). Managers were allowed to move players between the active roster and the "minor leagues" throughout the season.

There was a cap on the number of moves per season to prevent teams from grabbing all the ace pitchers to shuffle back and forth to insure an ace every game.

In real-life as in SOM, injuries do suck, but having a few players available from the "minors" as a temporary fill-in might be a good idea.

I think revamping the injury system is a good idea. But it should NOT be based on AB or PA. That makes leadoff hitters and hitters on good teams that turn the lineup over more often appear less injury prone. Flip side hitters at 8 or 9 on bad teams end up appearing more injury prone when they were not.

Base it on games played or something more relevant to how injury prone they were. Better yet base it on how many days they actually spent on the real life DL. How is that for a radical idea?

Does that mean Ervin Santana can only pitch the 2nd half of the season for the Twins in Strat? Will he have an 81 game 'injury' chance?
