Those of you complaining about injuries in this thread, are you sure you're not just still going off your impressions or tests of OOTP9? I know I sometimes do that with different aspects of the game, thinking that something is still like it was in a previous version.

Not that I believe everything I read either, but some points to consider:

• OOTP10 was initially advertised as having an overhauled and improved injury system
• a search of "injur*" posted by Markus brings up a number of posts where he staunchly defends the much improved realistic accuracy of the injury system (1, 2, 3, etc)
• people on the beta team with access to detailed studies done on the system seem to be at least content with it (I'm sure I could link to many more posts by different betas, but just trust me on this one)
• even the ratio of pitcher to hitter long-term injuries (see BZ# 2910), which I myself felt was a problem, was apparently fixed

Now I haven't done or read any of these in-depth studies that others have and just from my online league I suspect that things could maybe still be improved, but if those who have read these studies are confident in the results then I tell myself I should be too, barring any new information.

Cooley's right. You can put any name out there you like and it won't matter because OOTP just isn't a strict replay game. The only valid argument you could make to show that something is wrong with the injury system is to provide a detailed study on how OOTP doesn't come close to real life's results based on (thousands of?) thousands of anonymous player seasons. Anything less than that is just speculation.

If you're not happy with Kuiper leading the league in HRs then I'm sure there's some historical setting you should set differently. I'm not an expert on that stuff, but I imagine that if you start a thread on the topic then someone who is will reply to it.
