ill never want to ban them. I just think the new day to day system is dickered

Right out the gate, Silva and Lousa get Day to Day injuries that have them "DTD" for 4 weeks and 3 months respectively. How do you handle a pitcher with a DTD injury that will have that designation for 3 months? How do you GET a DTD injury that lasts 3 months? that doesn't even make sense to me
Make sure to complain constantly with hyperbole about how your entire team is injured too.

It's a niggle that they can play through but will affect their performance and they will be more prone to actual injury (where they cant play). I think it is vary realistic,honestly. Many players deal with long nagging injuries in this 2017 sim.

except in real life, you could bench a guy for 3-4 weeks and their injury would get better. I bench a DTD guy in the sim for 3-4 weeks and they don't get better. They'll still be DTD. So they don't play for a month, but its like their injury didn't get any better. makes no sense

You still don't understand this? The long term DTD injuries are modeling chronic/overuse injures (ie niggles) rather than acute injuries.

Something like a stress fracture, inflamed joint, or tennis elbow is perfectly modeled with long term DTD injuries. You can rest it for several weeks, but you'll still irritate it again if you go back to playing the sport. You can either play through it (with associated drop in performance and risk of further injury) or you can rest for a long time and hope the problem goes away (but it often gets re-aggravated as soon as you start back up). Chronic injuries like this don't have some set time line like acute injuries often do, they flare up over and over again due to aggravation from playing. A 3 month DTD injury is the perfect approximation of a chronic injury.

I think Peyton Manning was listed as DTD for the last 3 fucking seasons for the Broncos :laughing:

Gee, maybe we should just ban injuries altogether, void free agency amd make all players 60:60 and NORMAL in everything so you guys don't have to make any decisions at all.

I'm another OOTP league that's exactly like this! Only reason I hang around is to troll the dipshit BernieBros running the show.

My team isn't doing well either. What's to blame? New injury system? Game engine?

It's definitely not me, that's for sure

I thought there used to be an option if you want to eat a bad contract, you could assign it all to one year? I tested it and it said it'd be spread over 4 years. Is there any way to absorb it all this year or does that not exist anymore?

It seems like they took that away a couple versions ago. Dunno why.

I think I read that it's to match MLB if you have the luxury tax on. I mean, I'd be happy to have a lean year to get rid of a bad contract all at once but the luxury tax calculation isn't set up to do that.

To bring a little reality to the new injury system, I jammed/broke my big toe playing racquetball a little over a month ago. I was OUT for about two weeks before being downgraded to Day-to-Day. I haven't played racquetball since, but it still Influences Running - Minimal while Influences Lunges/Pushups/etc. - Moderate.

Recovery Time - Unknown.

Swept UK, took 2 of 3 from Buffalo, and were at .500? Somebody punch me babby. Oh and Jewsten is finally starting to look like he's not a bust? #blessed

Miami's turned into an interesting team in JV with two top prospects who could make a difference if called up too in Gorman/Lane

At this point it's probably time to start the clock on those two and see if we can hold onto fourth place. I was thinking this season we'd be 10 games under .500 by now but somehow we're within striking distance of MOUNT 500.

So, I'm pretty fucked financially. Anyone want to buy or trade for some of these draft picks? Only I don't have is a first and I actually have two seconds and two fourths this draft!

I only have one $25M right now though babby. :thumbsup:

My budget dropped from $140M to $110M next year. Not all of us can luck into GOATs.
Sorry, three $20m deals. If you aren't "lucking into GOATs," why do you have any $20m deals?

See You Next Wednesday
What the hell is going on with our pitching? Starters near last in da Norf with a 4.67 ERA.
Baleia has completely fallen off from previous seasons. Dunno if the playoff loss has something to do with it. But he better turn it around in the second half. Or he walking with a pink slip this offseason.

so I'm at the beach for a week. I downloaded OOTP onto my laptop, downloaded the league and imported it into 18...but whenever I try to download the latest file I get, "Error: could not open archive file"

anyone run into this issue before/know the fix?
