Physio rating does what?

What about the physio and the physio rating.

What effects do a high rating have. Injury time is static so is the rating just how accurately the physio estimate injury time or have it other effects such as how long a player is off the pitch when getting cold sprayed?

I always thought it was more of a competency thing - the higher the rating was, the better they were at treating injuries.

Nah better physios give your players better treatments, they can recover faster. There was a study on this forum I think comparing this issue and it does make a difference in return time. Of course the injury time doesn't change greatly: if a player broke his arm don't expect him to play the next game. But there is a time frame for an injury and physios help speed it up.

I think this is the study Ollep7 is referring to.

Thanks lads and ladettes! You gave most usefull insights!

yes better physio rating quicker on most of the injuries can be sorted or healed.

eg i had a physio of rating 6 in my basingstoke save and he predicted player would be out for between 4 weeks and 3 months which really isnt great. a better rated physio would probably have given a better time window eg 2 to 3 months
