Whatever the results of the vote, nothing will change for the current preseason. Our injury meter will be 76 for this preseason.
The first time around, we settled on 75 because the consensus was we wanted less preseason injuries but wanted to keep some for realism sake. Since that time, we have dealt with the shortcomings of version 4.6, and strayed further away from any semblance of realism, despite going to 14 playoff teams.
This time around I'm really hoping nobody mentions realism. We'd all like this sim to be as close to realism as possible, but with no practice squads, no IR with an option to return, and so many broken things in this game, we will never get all that close. We also don't have drug suspensions, or QBs getting happy endings. Or hold outs.
If you want to say injuries force more strategic based decisions, that's fine, and also true. Just please don't bring up realism because that's a pipe dream.
As always, please keep discussions civil. We're just playing a game here.
