Let me preface all this by saying that I have been playing this game for many, many years and have played dozens of historical replays.

There is something very definitely wrong with the injury function in 10. I set up a MLB historical league starting in 1910 and am now starting the 1913 season. Ty Cobb, who is on my team, has yet to play a full season. This is a player, who in real life routinely got 600 ABs a season. The most he's gotten for me is 238. He has spent most of each season on the DL. He was injured in the first game of the 1913 season and is out for 7 months. In 1912, he went down for 10 weeks, played three games and went down for four more weeks. His injury ratings don't seem especially high -- all in the low 80s. Injuriy frequency is set at normal, which is how I've always set it.

And it's not just Cobb. At one point in the 1912 season I had seven players on the DL, including three of four starting pitchers; Heine Groh, who was out for the season; and two other starting position players. In the 1911 season, two starting pitchers went down for the season within a couple of days of each other. The injuries seem to be more prevelant if you allow the computer to automatically play games, rather than playing inning by inning.

I have never had this problem with any other version of the game. I'm going to try and turn the injury frequency down to low and see if it improves. If not, I'm going back to 9.

Is anyone else having this problem?
