Lack of Injuries in Franchise Mode

[bostonboy_003]

I play every game in my franchise mode, and see almost no injuries. I have the injury slider set to 7, but havent had a single player miss any significant time this season and I am half way through the year. Now, I dont want to put the injury slider too high and have guys out for multiple months. But I want for guys to get banged, up, have to call up some minor leaguers and what not. I am getting tired of using the same lineup every single game, because its not realistic to real life. Pitchers especially NEVER get injured. In my franchise last year, I had the same 5 starting pitchers the entire season, and it is looking like that will happen this year too.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? I play on Legend hitting and All Star pitching if that matters.

Thanks!

I play with it on 8 snd i don't see a too many, but enough to have to make roster decisions. Elvis Andrus is out at least two weeks right now, as well as my backup RF. So i have a couple of young guys getting a shot.

I haven't adjusted the injury slider at all, and in my first Franchise season, I had a situation where 6 players on my DL at the same time, including multiple lengthy injuries that kept players out half the season.

In the second season, I had fewer injuries, but the ones I had were again really lengthy DL stints. One of the injuries was a head fracture suffered by one of my minor league pitchers that has a 6+ month recovery time...but I wouldn't be surprised if that's a career-ending one.

Would you go with a setting of 8, 9, or 10 for the right amount of injuries?

Just bumped it up to 8 and had Jackie Bradley strain his forearm and out for a few days. Interested to see what else happens from here.

I am interested also. I track almost every possible stat you can think of. From batting average down to First Pitch Swings for a Fielder's Choice, and Inherited Runners that Scored. You would think i would keep track of injuries and DL time, but nope. Not once.

This post has inspired me, so in the newsest of my several Franchises (im only 5 games in), i am going start tracking injuries, since i am not too far in. Spreadheet time.

My entire league in my 2014 carry over got decimated with injuries at 6. 26 of the 30 teams have a key player down with injuries, and I was averaging about 3 10 day DL injuries per day across all leagues. I had to turn the injury slider back down to 5 because I was worried AA teams wouldn't be able to be staffed.

I barely get any injuries at all. Even on 10.

I don't know why. So I just leave it on 5 and, of course, no injuries
