OOTP tweaked its injury settings a few versions back where most teams hardly have to deal with more than a handful of injuries every season (Yes, I see you Cubs rotation. You are the exception). The PBA has also expanded its roster size to handle injuries better.
I believe a league with more injuries leads to a richer PBA experience. It forces teams to worry about depth, specifically upper-minors depth, in ways teams don't currently have to. It allows for more roster decisions, and opens up avenues for trade.
Any change would go into effect for the 2027 season to give teams a chance to prepare.

I love the added challenge increased injuries provide. However, I voted no. Too much can happen when you sim a full week at a time. A couple of injuries in the first few days can be devastating. Also, we hide injury rating, which is problematic, especially for draft picks.

i love the realistic setting. Not having to deal with injuries makes the game boring. It pays to have depth

I DO think it'll be pretty easy to suss out which players are injury prone early in their careers (especially pitchers), and which are iron men later in their careers. I feel like IRL, it's hard to know how injury prone a draft pick is as well. |

I’m going to vote no I believe unless we had something in place to augment devastating injuries and ramifications in ootp.
Maybe ootp does consider the budget ramifications of a terrible injury? But I suspect not. And what I mean by this is is in real baseball a team who encounters such an injury can actually talk about the impact it can have on a budget or payroll.
Like if tomorrow Jose Ramirez for Cleveland is in a car crash and out for two years I’m pretty sure the owner next year will be a little more flexible with payroll and budget??
If we are going to inherit a human element of a real game we need to remember an AI is running it.

I like the idea of realistic injuries, but I agree with Aaron - a Monday injury can screw up multiple weeks of games. The fix for this is to let the AI control major league roster moves - does anyone trust that? Also the fact that the game routinely makes players rule 5 eligible who shouldn't be, which means our 40-man rosters are often used to protect still developing young prospects who by the rules shouldn't need to be there, limits the opportunity for a really deep roster.

Hell no. The realistic injuries are wholly unrealistic. Everyone gets TJ or has a thoracic outlet syndrome.
