League wide injury report

Problem:

It's difficult to see the injuries of other teams in the league without manually going into each player report card, which is time consuming.

The ability to do so easily would add to the game by reflecting real life NFL injury reports.

Suggestion:

Suggestion 1

Add another option to the team roster section of a team home page - "Injuries".
Populate with position, name, injury, status (Probable etc) and duration.

Suggestion 2

Add an option - "Injury report" to the League drop down menu.
For each team, populate the information from suggestion 1.

Benefits:

Suggestion 1 allows you to directly and easily access direct opposition injuries
Suggestion 2 allows the user to review injuries across the league.

Not overly sure what is being asked here?

If you click on "League" -> "Transactions" a filter is available for all sorts of league transactions...including injuries.

The existing filter is highly restricted.

It lists the week the injury occurred, the player and the injury - no info about the team.

It doesn't provide any details about the length or status to play in games, ie Probable.

It's simply not useful or sufficient when the intended use case would be for a GM to want to look at a team, see the injury report for that team - you'd have to look up each player for that team.

Example.

* Buttkickers Home Page *
Injuries
C Wibble Wobble, Hand, 3 weeks, Probable
TE Nicey Nicey, Neckl, 6 Weeks, Questionable

*League Home Page Injury Report option *

Week X Stage Y
Buttkickers
C Wibble Wobble, Hand, 3 weeks, Probable
TE Nicey Nicey, Neckl, 6 Weeks, Questionable
Hamsters
No injuries

The examples above make the injury status easy to view as a GM scouting an opponent. It gives extras strategy info; if a key CB is out or may not play, I'd want to use that info to adjust my gameplan accordingly.

Go to the team page of your opponent. Sort based on health. You have to click it twice to bring the worst injuries to the top.

Any player with an injury will be on the top. You’ll know you reached the end when you get to the QBs. Players above that have injuries even if health field does not state length or status.

This is equal to solution 1

Not quite right. QBs, Ks and Ps can also be out injured. It's very rare, but it does happen.

Agreed - not sure how I missed that - you'd think I've been playing the game long enough!

With the UI update in progress, maybe have a space on the league or team home page that shows next opponent, off/def ranks, injuries, etc.

I agree this. If K or P is injured they will appear above the QB. I use QB as a reference point because after the injuries the roster appears in order by position. It was not intended to imply otherwise.

Not quite right, actually dead on!!

There is definitely room for improvement when looking at upcoming matches. If there were a whole pre game page; noting injuries, high performers, team stats and maybe even matchup history or a last three games against type display.

Right now, just the text with a spread is a kind of basic - even for ten years ago it was probably the most basic option available. Even what I described is basic but does generally just seem more cohesive, almost as if it is missing from the game currently.

Part of the whole excitement is anticipating your matchup so why not play into that since all the data is just sitting there.

Great suggestion MW.

I'd love to see a matchup pop up next to the matchup like the view game post game report that is similar to Madden listing team stats best players and injuries for each team.
