Please fix AI excluding day to day injured players from the playoffs

You're playing a game and the AI takes your team's best player out for a series because he's injured.

The problem is that the injury is a day-to-day injury.

Freeman suffered an ankle sprain that will keep him out for over a month.

But he fought through it and became the most dominant World Series MVP since Bumgarner.

But that's not possible in OOTP.

That's because the AI will ruthlessly take you out of the series with even the mildest day-to-day injury.

I find it very immersion breaking and sad to see the other team's best player on the injured list, out of the playoffs for something like a sore thumb.

I hope you can fix this issue.

I've never noticed that. I've noticed the computer managers consistently playing players with DTD injuries during the regular season. Really weird that the computer manager would do something differently during the post season.

Maybe it has something to do with the effect of the injury low, moderate, etc, and what area. Don't know. Just guessing.

Anyway, there are no more patches coming for 25. Maybe mention this in the 26 forum.

Umm ya...they're not gonna fix 25. That's why there's a new version. Plus you can control your team yourself if you really wanted to.

Wow, up to 47,000, thank you. Wow, I hadn't checked for weeks. Oct 9 2024 its 79,561. THIS must be a great idea. My consistent detractors didn't show up en masse to argue against it. They didn't show up HERE either.
