Injury Risk
Injury Risk
Am I correct in understanding that each player has equal injury risk in a given game? So that if a player gets injured, the probability of the team's next injury happening to that same player is only 1/(2^9) (approximately 0.2%)?
Re: Injury Risk
The injury risk is not impacted by his prior injury. He could come back the next game and get injured again. Essentially the odds of any one player getting injuries don’t change based on prior injuries.
Re: Re: Injury Risk
But I believe that a lower number of games played in the season they’re using makes injuries more likely, correct, Guy?
Re: Injury Risk
Yes that’s right. Each player has slightly different odds based on their EN number. Anyone who played a full 162 for example won’t get hurt.
Re: Re: Injury Risk
Alright, thanks. I didn't understand this. I thought that EN affected the need for rest days, not propensity to get injured.
Re: Injury Risk
Even if you played every game, you should have the ability to be injured for the remainder of that game, like a HBP on the arm or leg , bang into the wall, or take a hard fall, making a catch and the manager exercises caution, but they are fine and return the next day
Re: Re: Injury Risk
Strat-O-Matic handles 162 gamers the same way - no injury result on their cards. Next level up in SOM is Injury - remainder of game for player over a certain number of PA's, but not 162 gm's. I'm good with guys who played 162 playing 162.
Re: Injury Risk
True Shiek, but if you get removed due to injury- you still played 162 games, if you start the next one
Re: Re: Injury Risk
From the SOM website:
Position players
Real-life AB+BB Max. length of injury
0-599 no limit (can be injured for the max 15 extra games)
600-679 3 extra games
680+ remainder of game
Also, players who actually played 162 games (or 154 in pre expansion years) don't have an injury chance on their cards - the Lou Gehrig, Cal Ripken types. And SOM is trying, with this system, to replicate a player's real life usage in seasonal replays.
But to answer your response - yes, remainder of game is exactly that, and you play the next day, which means you play 162.
