In MLB, if you give a player an aspirin, it must be logged in medical records that are available for all teams to see. I am wavering back and forth on my vote for this poll but I am adamantly against turning off injury ratings.
I see both arguments, and really appreciate the challenge of building depth. I have been against turning injuries down for a few seasons, but OOTP is currently not doing a good job of simulating these injuries--they are massively overcompensating for an increase in DL trips due to 10 day DL. Guys in MLB didn't just start getting hurt more overnight, and it's really frustrating to see the OOTP guys fail to see the reasoning for increase in DL trips. The patches have not addressed this at all.
It is frustrating and not very realistic to see players (mostly pitchers) come off the injury report, then get hurt right away, heal up, get hurt after another twenty pitches, lather, rinse, repeat. These players won't be "Day to Day", they're healed, and then get hurt instantly. What's the workaround for that? I get that this happens in real life on occasion (Rich Harden), but those are pretty infrequent, and there are pitchers who were injured 10 times this season. A player who gets hurt on average every two weeks is basically useless, and there are a lot of these pitchers now in PBL.
The ABL does not show injury rating. The benefit is players with a label of 'wrecked' or 'fragile' are not immediately dismissed by GMs. They have to look over their history and come to a determination on if that player can sustain for a season but labels ruin value to a degree.
