I've had players forced out for the remainder of games. I haven't had any players injured for a number of games though. I'd like it to happen though; it would keep things interesting, and present a new challenge.

I'm the Jazz and I noticed that it's hard to score with Arroyo, so I traded him and Pavlovic to Memphis for J-Will. In his first game as a Jazz, after 11 minutes he got injured. He had 9 p and 4 asists in those 11 minutes, but he got injured for 12 days.

I had Rod Strickland injuried for 3 days (patch symbol) after an ingame injury at one arm.

Does in NBA a player in IR must stay there for a minimum of days? Because I was able to put Strickland there and bring him back as soon as he healed (so he stayed there no more than 6 days). This would be a bug.

Yeah in my first game Rashard Lewis was injured for 4 days.

Yeah if he has the bandage icon you can still play him, but his ratings are decreased a little, look in injury report to see how much etc, also i think there could be a bigger chance of a serious injury. If the player has the red cross you cant play them.

It's not a bug. Dynasty Mode simply doesn't enforce the rule that the real NBA does (players placed on the injured list must sit out 5 games). Missing features aren't bugs.

I apologise for nitpicking, but a lot of people do incorrectly label elements of the games as bugs. CustomArt crashing the game is a bug. The absence of a particular feature is not.

Zach Randolph is out for 12 days with a broken toe.

I heard someone say his Lebron is injured while real life bron is not, and it's a BUG!

No problem Andrew. I didn't even think about the difference between bug and missed feature when i wrote this, but you're perfectly right.
It would be nice to see this feature in the game in the future.

While playing Sacramento in Dynasty Mode, Christie got injured for 6 weeks (unplayable) 3 weeks. It happened near the end of March. After that Peeler, who was inserted to the starting line-up coz of Christie's injury, was injured for 4 weeks (unplayable too)! A week after that, Webber also got injured for 1 week (still unplayable). I started the playoffs without my key players and it was really challenging!
