Great game. Appreciate the progress.

So I saw in your video you added an injury slider. That's great but I don't think injury frequency was ever an issue. I just assume you base injury frequency on historical data and therefore I have zero interest in adjusting that. I often go weeks without an injury.

What isn't based on historical data (and the biggest hinderance to historical play in my view) is durable players getting injured for 4 to 8 months over and over and over and over. I l almost expect now, when I see a 7 month injury in the news feed, to click on the player and see his injury profile half white.

So today I was running 1971-72. First week, Guy Charron 7 months, Ross Lonsberry 4 months. Look at their ratings?

I have no problem when my Mario Lemieux or Peter Forsberg of Bobby Orr have season ending injuries. I know it will happen eventually.
I'm talking about unrealistic injuries. Give a durable player a max 2 weeks, not 8 months. If you say it COULD have happened then I guess Joel Quenneville COULD have scored 80 goals one season. I don't see the difference. They are both historically inaccurate.

Hope this is helpful. Keep up the good work.
