2027 Injury Setting Poll

[Commissioner Erick]

We didn't have enough votes last season, so we're going to re-ask this question.

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 2028 season to give teams a chance to prepare.

As it stands I’d have to vote leave as is.

I agree with what Erick says and more would equal reality and enrich the experience.

But I worry it can also do more harm for the casual gm and it’s more punitive than real life.

One only needs to look at our idiotic AI owners. (Though suspect real life owners can be idiots too).

But a major injury can have devastating effects where in real life a gm can work with staff and owner around navigating it. More money, deferring it, etc.

My thoughts.

Hard no for me. I've had great years and years like last year where it felt like we could never field the team I imagined. That seems realistic.
