How Injuries Work in FM Live

Here is how injuries work, a player can be injured for X number of days, these range from one day to a few weeks. The number of injuries that you get depends on your activity rating, the less activity the more likely you are to experience an injury. This is in order that a highly active player in theory gets the same proportion of injuries as an inactive one.

Play in Spurts? Tough!

A few problems what if you play the game in spurts? Say you play once a week you log on to play twenty / thirty games maybe. Well unlikely that'll you'll be doing that as low activity rating means the 'activity system' will pillage your squad like a bunch of vikings on drugs. After a few games unless you want to watch your reserves playing you just as well log off.

The 'activity system' has been known to throw the odd wobble, at one point everyone started with an activity rating of one so everyone got a load of injuries, at one point I saw a user with something like 30 injuries. So it's not exactly on the money.

A Simpler System

A much simpler system would to have looked at squad read % of players injured and then set probability from there, don't really know why that would not have worked.

The second issue, say you have Pato and Sergio Ramos in your team, clearly stars of the show well say their both injured, you going to play that important cup game then? Crazy that the game actually encourages you to log off or to not play games.

I'm not advocating a football game without Injuries

I'm not advocating a football game without injuries but as the only really important games are FA games why not have it so that only FA games count in terms of injuries. Why not have it so that players are injured for X number of FA games. The close season counts as three / four FA games.

A system that's fair to everyone and actually encourages you to play.
