SiDolman Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Anybody else had this issue? Im in my 4th season now with Newcastle, previous seasons have been fine but all of sudden this season, my players are getting injured constantly (big & small) on and off the pitch For example my last match, 3 players had to be taken off for injury in the first half of the game alone and 2 more got knock's from the game I rotate my players and often rest my key players before big games Now the big difference between the other seasons and this one is that I changed my 2 physios at the start, one I always wanted to change but the other I forgot to renew their contract (oops) so installed 2 new ones, both German but I made sure they had good adaptability. Now this must be the reason in this dramatic shift, should the quality or settling period really have this sort of affect on your players? I don't think so, I mean maybe their recovery period once they have got injured might be affected but not this Anyone else experience this? This season has became a farce so far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar2010 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Physios don't have any affect on the amount of injuries or when they happen. Given you haven't had a problem in previous seasons I would chalk it up to bad luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiDolman Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Do you know that for sure? this doesn't feel like bad luck to me When have you ever seen a team have to made 3 subs for injuries in the first half of a football game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

forameuss Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 It happens. It was always the case - think it still is - that injuries are slightly lower across the board than in real life. That will mean that in some cases, people will have a lot of injuries, and in some they won't have many at all. But then that's exactly how it happens in real life. There are things you can do to lessen the impact of injuries in the way you play, but for the most part you're at the mercy of luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiDolman Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 I disagree, this is too much of a coincidence with the change in staff, for 3 seasons not one of my defenders has had a serious injury and for most part Ive been able to keep a set defensive lineup while resting main players for my backups in the cup and easier league games. This season I have just had to play two 17 year old CB's in the champions league because my 4 CB's are all injured, 2 long term I refuse to acknowledge this is bad luck, i reckon its the change in staff unless someone can prove to me otherwise Some posters go on as if this game mirror's real life or something, it doesn't it is a bunch of algorithms and it's a computer game and it will have faults Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar2010 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Ok, I'm sure you know best What do physios actually do? As far as I'm aware they just give you updates on injuries, the better the physio, the more accurate the information in terms of length of time out. They may or may not speed up the recovery of certain types of injury, no one really knows except SI. IMO though they probably don't make any difference.

Your not getting my point, im not suggesting injuries are lower or higher than real life, im suggesting that new physios have increased my injuries. Ah soak tests, okay then, it must be just real life then ;-) I could do but what difference will it make to me now, I only every play one game per edition and ive learn't my mistake now, never change physio's unless they retire i suppose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's wrong. It's purely coincidental that your injuries have coincided with the new physios because physios do not affect the likelihood of a player getting injured in a match...

Kojak123 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I refuse to acknowledge this is bad luck, i reckon its the change in staff unless someone can prove to me otherwise If you refuse to accept advice, why did you come here? If you refuse to accept that it just is bad luck, don't let all your physios contracts run down but renew them in time. I've changed all my physios first thing when taking charge and never experienced something like you describe. So my opinion is: Bad luck!

forameuss Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Your not getting my point, im not suggesting injuries are lower or higher than real life, im suggesting that new physios have increased my injuries. I know, but people are countering that you're just getting the bad luck that everyone gets, rather than it being down to your physios. Maybe it is down to them, which is why it might be better to raise it in the bugs forum, so that the people who do know either way can answer you. Ah soak tests, okay then, it must be just real life then ;-) Then you're clearly not understanding what a soak test is. It's where they make sure that across all saves, the results are consistent. So that any part of the game isn't consistently over or under what it should be. And what it should be, is close to real life. I could do but what difference will it make to me now, I only every play one game per edition and ive learn't my mistake now, never change physio's unless they retire i suppose Yeah, great attitude. So if it is a bug in the game, you'll forfeit your right to complain about it next edition when it's still there due to no-one reporting it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUNT3R Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 At the start of the season that I just finished, I brought in an entirely new set of staff. Coaches, physios and scouts. I didn't get any more injuries than usual. If anything, I had less than usual. I had an average of 2-3 out at any time, which is quite low. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, no, I'm not 100% sure. I did some digging in the official manual and this is what it had to say on the attribute "physiotherapy": This attribute is exclusively for use with Physiotherapists. Having a Physio with a high rating in this attribute is something you should always look to have. If possible, have at least three Physios with high ratings for this attribute to ensure your players receive high-quality treatment to both prevent and rehabilitate injuries.

ndebergerac Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I think everyone has experienced several players being injured during games alongside players being injured in training etc, happens to us all. More times than not you'll only have a few players out at a time. I do recall having to replace 3 players before half time in a match, only once though. So long as you have good physios, I don't see the logic in blaming that (if you hired weak physios, then shame on you I guess). You should probably just accept you've hit that bad run of injuries, not bad considering you're into your 4th season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning that high class physios would also prevent injuries. That would also explain my injury crisis this season, the club has only head physio and his physiotherapy attribute is 4 Next season i need to get better physios, hopefully promotion (i am already quite sure we'll win the 2nd league) will give us enough money to do some backroom renovation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
