Should you really avoid INJURY PRONE players in FM24?

[@andymanser2523]

One thing to bring in to this, my FM23 save brought into FM24, I have a lot of injuries over a season. My Keeper, though, doesn't get killed in a match like on a straight Fm24 save. My Bristol Rovers Fm23 ported save, I had 8 players at one point out injured mostly in training, that was during an international break as well where the players weren't on international duty but getting injured in training.

That's very interesting. One thing I've noticed since the video is that the AI is often bringing back players before they're fully recovered, which is massively increasing the injury rate during first match return too.

100% especially semi pro vs pro the injuries jump up massively

[@LoadFM]

That's definitely a huge factor. There are a few other things that are AI management related too, which probably explains the huge swing over a 2 year period.

Would have been nice to see the differences in development /attributes between injury free/prone players. Does it significantly impact the ability? About injuries during training and matches: matches are superhigh intensity. It would take 3 physicial training sessions to compare. To me, it sounds logical that the majority of injuries happen in matches Thnx for the video!

It's definitely logical, as the rate is about 9 to 1 IRL in studies done. However, the big difference is first returning match injuries. In FM24, the AI is throwing players straight back in from the start, often before they've fully recovered. This is inflating the rate of injuries for players who are returning from injury! 👎 I have got a development experiment planned, so may incorporate injuries into that.👍

I just can't get my head round how a game can be released with things like this. Dealing with injuries is a massive part of managing a squad, why have they not run tests like this prior to release? Especially when you consider the game has been going for god knows how long - it's not like it's a brand new game they've had years to perfect this.

To be fair, injury patterns have changed a lot in the last couple of years. It's a shame that they can't do it to 100%, as people complain there's too many now! There's a real lack of proper long term injuries too, which takes away from the realism a bit.👎

[@JoshAston23]

@@LoadFM maybe injury realism needs to be an option when you're setting up the game

The Invulnerables.

Sounds like a fun save. Take away all the excuses and see if you can win! 😂
