You remember that in NBA Live 2004, the worst injuries that can happen IN GAMES YOU PLAY are injuries lasting THAT GAME. I once have injured one guy twice in the same game, first he went to the bench for a quarter and then he cames back and injure again, that red-cross sign appearing next to his name. I was hoping he will heal in a longer period as it happens when you simulate the games, but no. He returned the next game. What I'm trying to say is that you never get serious injured players unless you sim the games. And I don't sim any game.
I wonder if in this year's version there will be injuries often and more dramatic.
