Career Ending Injuries - eliminating them?

[SoCal Doug]

Is there a way to eliminate career ending injuries?

I seem to recall reading somewhere that there is a file that can be edited?

Thanks,

It looks like you could edit the injuries.txt file in /Documents/Out of the Park Developments/OOTP Baseball 10/database. The first line of this file shows the format of each injury entry. (min Inj Time,max Inj Time,DTD %,Career Ending Possible Bool...) I would think you just go through the file and find all injuries set to "1" at the fourth number, and set it to "0" instead.

The file is pretty messy, though, so there may be an easier way.

If you're going to edit the file, you'll want to make sure you edit *all* possible CEIs to zero. The way the game engine works, it generates a career ending injury first and then consults the file second to see what kind of injury it was. If it can't find a CEI I believe it ignores the injury altogether. I know that I had some success with realistic league-wide injury numbers by applying this trick to the different kind of injuries (i.e. if you

It's also my experience, which is borne out of playing through a LOT of games in this version, that the injury frequencies are pretty realistic. I know full well how f'ing frustrating it is when a star player on your team drops a CEI but hey, that's baseball. I do wish the game had a few less of these and then, instead, had "good luck with that" type injuries, that, let's say, keep a player out for a year and a half or more. The way the game randomly knocks ratings of injured players would cause most of these guys to become no longer major league worthy.

Of course, there are always cases like Ray Chapman, JR Richard, and Dave Dravecky. Thus the need for the CEI.

it is, technically, not possible to get rid of CEIs. Even if you edit them out of the injury file, there will still be setbacks from injures, and long injuries can setback into CEIs, and you can't edit any file to change that.
