Fractured Wrist, DtD at 11% for two weeks?

jarmenia · 06-05-2006, 04:09 PM

I had a player fracture his wrist. He's day to day with an 11% performance drop for about 2 weeks. This doesn't sound right. He should at minimum be out for two weeks.

lots of guys play through hairline fractures. some dont even know they have them until months later.

The injury has only a peripheral relationship to the amount of time missed since they are both randomly picked.

I don't think that's true in this version.

Define randomly picked? If you are saying that the game decides an injury and then picks randomly from a defined range for that specific injury you are correct. However, the length/severity of the injury is not completely random.

*Note* - At least this was the case with the previous version...I have not actually looked at the injury file in this one yet, but I would assume it is similar.

I would assume it is not. How crazy would it be then to see a guy out for a week with a complete ACL tear and then another guy out for 7-8 months with a finger blister.

i thought there was some "injury specialist" brought in to give more realistic injury results, ie. correct time frames for corresponding injuries

you can't swing a bat with a fractured wrist.

Sure you can, if it is a minor hairline fracture...I'm sure the wrist would be sore, but it would most definitely be possible. Especially if it isn't the domimant hand.

I have done it myself, twice with the left hand, when I was in college. Sometimes it can hurt like the end of the world, but that's just church league softball.

I imagine it could be done in MLB if it was a hairline fracture and the player was determined to play.

Yeh I think I saw a blog about they called in Will Carroll who writes Under THe Knife for BP. Hes just a writer though so I dont know if hes got a master list of how effective each injury is.
