I've been playing through a fictional file for quite awhile now and I have yet to see a single drug related suspension. Has OOTP decided to remove these from the game completely? I just ask because even looking at the league settings, the option isn't even there anymore. There used to be a setting in the suspension part of this screen that read "enable drug suspensions" and you could check or uncheck the box. Has anyone seen PED suspensions in OOTP 16?
I had a guy in my fictional league get an 80 game suspension. Ironically he was a relief pitcher and former high draft pick who had basically the "dickhead" personality, so it shouldn't have been too surprising. I'm just wondering if the PEDs affected his performance, as he had gone several years as essentially a below-average mop up guy, then made the ASG and was among the league leaders in WAR for relievers, but got suspended in spring training the next year and went back to a 4 ERA after being sub-2 the previous year, alongside a big drop in velocity. I mean he was in his late 20s and I had just given him a decent contract following his breakout season, so the regression after a PED suspension didn't feel like a coincidence.
