"In my mind and in my car,
we can't rewind, we've gone to far"
CM3 01/02
Do physios become redundant in long games? Their only real use, to my mind, is to point out players that would benefit from a spell of rehab. Handy, as this always miraculously clears up recurring problems.
But I haven't had anyone requiring rehab for over 20 years! I don't think that I can put it down to luck, as earlier in my game I would seem to have a player needing rehab every couple of seasons.
Do players in later years not require rehab as previous incarnations had any problems sorted?
in 01/02 I had quite a couple of long-term games with more than 20 seasons, and I never experienced the no-bad-injuries thing. I guess it was just coincidence with your players - lack of determination and working-rate?
well, how can you find out IRL? By the results of course. So, if you feel your physio is a wimp who wants to send every guy to surgery even when he's only bruised, get rid of him. On the other hand, if your physio keeps saying that some guy is just fine, and still gets the same knee injury every 3 weeks, he's just crap.
Players definitely still get recurring injuries later on in the game, but I'd be guessing if I said it was more or less frequent.
Can remember seeing a superb MRC I had during a brief spell at Kilmarnock (in about 2045 or so), who about 7 years later was available on a free, having played bugger all games since. I was just about to sign him for my Lancaster team in the Conference, before I noticed the several pages of groin strains in his history. Dirty git, I wouldn't touch him after that.
I seem to remember Marc Vaughan mentioning hand-held scanners and dermal regenerators for later years, and energy/matter transfers...or was that Star Trek?
