Injury on NBA Live...

Injury on NBA Live Series...

I have play over 10 NBA full seasons & none of my players have gotten injury. None, Never!..........While the rest of the cpu teams seems to get injure at some point during the season.

What's going on in here?
I do have injury turn on....so is not that.

Anybody have the same problem?

I got a few injuries in my NBA Live 2004 Dynasty Games, with a couple lasting more than the current contest. The injury slider certainly helped matters. In my opinion injuries were greatly improved in NBA Live 2004 but I'm sure there's a way to make further improvements, which I'm all for.

Thanks for your reply Andrew.

I'm all for improvements too.

is it me. or in nba live, when my player gets injured while playing the game, he's not injured after the game. kinda odd


by after the game, i mean when ur in the menu reordering rosters, checking stats/etc

It depends on the severity of the injury.

Tracy McGrady missed the whole Championsip series for me, and I lost

It depends on when you get the injury...

If you get it in gameplay the player will most likely be ok after the game, but the simulation injuries are the ones that usually last for a little while... I still say that there are no serious injuries that would make a player miss a month or so of action only usually a game or two. There are some players that wiss 40-50 games a season due to injury. In live you are likely to miss 10-15 games at most.

Injury engine still needs a lot of work... No question about it.

I played 82 game seasons, 10 minutes quarters in live 04. I had a few serious injuries that happened during a game, with players out from a few games, up to 6 weeks.

Made for some great challenges. Having injuries in dynasty is very important to me. Makes it real and adds that extra challenge, and gives you a chance to start and use guys you wouldnt otherwise use on your roster.

My thoughts exactly... It would make for some intresting games when your star got hurt... That would be just as sweet as it gets. And would really give you insight on what is on the bench behind the superstar... I sometimes find my self going to a bench player when he's hot. Even with all the rest being my starters.

I'd like to see maybe the amount of injuries there are, but make them last a while longer... Make them realistic. And some guys are hurt more often than others, so that should be another factor as well.

But, we'll have to live with the system that's in Live.

The system in NBA Live isn't too bad, it just needs refining. Some of my opponents got injured during the games I played in my Dynasty and were out for about six weeks, but I only had a couple of players sustain day-to-day level injuries. Nevertheless, I placed them in the IR until they were healthy, just to shake things up.
