What happens with injured players?

Comm

You mentioned in another post that UFL will have/reflect injuries.

Do you know what these will look like i.e do we have a report that X.Player received an injury and:

a) will be out for a specific length of time (e.g. 1, 2 3, rest of season), or
b) will be out until he recovers (some sort of weekly check up), or
c) something else.

If it is a long term injury is there an injury list that can be used to push that player off for the rest of the season and enable us to get a "temporary" replacement in - or are we basically stuffed (depending on DC). For example what would happen with an injured kicker.

Thanks

Yes, the simulator does generate injuries. The duration of an injury is listed in terms of the number of quarters a player will miss so obviously every 4 quarters equates to a match.

The simulator will automatically replace injured players and move them down the depth chart. It is possible for a player to play with an injury but the more serious the injury the worse they will perform. If a fully fit player is available, however, they will take precendence over the injured player.

A players injury will reduce per quarter played by his team. An injury to kickers and punters will simply affect their performance but they will always be able to play.
