Would there be a way to implement an updating "Injury Status Board" on the in-game screen? Maybe listed below the kick stats?
So say a player of yours goes out with an injured knee. He gets put on this list with a designation "Unknown (Knee)". So you know he's gone out with a knee injury, but it takes a play or few to actually have the trainers examine him and determine his status (Probable, Questionable, Doubtful, Out). Or, it was nothing major at all, and he comes back in after the pre-requisite play on the sideline. His status switches to "Returned To Play" or something. But you know the player was dinged up at one point.
Yes, this doesn't add up to much during the game itself. But you could use it to identify trends... Be they injury trends, performance trends, etc., and it might help make depth chart adjustments and moves more effective.
Also, this could be combined with a setting in the Misc part of Gameplanning to say, if my 1st string RB goes out with a designation of "Questionable" to return, hold him out... Or get him back in unless he's "Doubtful".
Or you sadists that play a guy til he's dead. Heh.
