Well it wasn't my player that was injured, I needed a shooting guard so bought one that was already injured because injured players sell for less. And because it is the all star week I thought he would recover in time for my next game (which he has done thankfully). But unfortunately due to his long injury he has awful game shape. I am just going to try and focus on getting him perfect minutes, and hopefully he can be back to respectable in 3 weeks time...maybe :P

I actually don't have a doctor with taping specialisation, I don't think it is that helpful. Taping doesn't shorten the length of a long injury, it only means that you might get a player that is injured during a match back on during that match. I much prefer a doctor with massage specialty to be honest.

this is what the manual says which supports your argument

Taping Injuries: There is a small chance that a player's minor injury can be taped up immediately, and he will be able to return to the game at the start of the next quarter.


but i am sure i read on the forums that this taping can also prevent the injury from being worse later

however just because i read it doesnt make it true

i would like to know because if that is so maybe my players can look forward to a nice massage instead of just having their ankle hairs ripped out

Well I haven't had too much experience with injured players, and have never had a taping doctor so can't help you out with the answer. I was just basing my idea of what a taping doctor does on the game manual. And hence why I thought the taping specialty is a bit useless in comparison with the massage specialty. However, if someone can shed some light on their experiences that would be very much appreciated :)

Taping does not prevent injury from being worse later. It only helps in the game. Doctors level can prevent injuries sticking after the game or shortens the injury duration.

It can jump multiple levels per week. In the last 2 weeks my Pg has gone from mediocre to strong so as long as you get the perfect amount of minutes it can bump up twice.

It is the nature of the game that you will -- maybe sooner than you think --

I was once the way you are now -- did not understand how injury can strike with blinding, catastrophic quickness -- now, traumatized, I feel (with apologies to Cotton Mather) all of our players are in the hands of angry God, dangling over the Pit of Injury, ready to be dropped with terrifying randomness --

I think this is the reason my league's forum is so polite, and for that matter there is so little trash talking among the coaches -- we all realize our team is but a second away from absolute disruption, our plans turned to dust, our hubris mocked by fate --

I think you can experience bigger jumps (2 levels) when players are in really bad GS and more likely jumps up of 1 when they are respectable and above. Remember that GS has invisible sub-levels too so you could go from awful (3.1) to inept (4.9) and it would be a good week. I reckon you'll get to average in 2 weeks then 1 week for each level of improvement there.
