I have an advanced doctor with taped up specialty, interestingly enough no player has ever been "taped up" and brought back into the game.

What level? My experience has been very good with a L6 TI doctor...



What is a very good experience ?
Show 2 occurences when the speciality was used pleased.

I don't have numbers but by experience, I believe that injuries happen more frequently early in the game and during the first minutes.
I don't think it is a bug but some mechanism that makes it more likely.

I wouldn't say the specialty is exceptionally useful, but I did have it trigger recently - Chester Hutchins injured early in the second, returned in the third. (I was disappointed he didn't end up fouling out after coming back, since it's not often players leave games injured and come back and foul out).

I have tested this specialty for many seasons, I was tired of waiting to see its effect. Finally, after several seasons, I saw one player coming back and fired the doctor straight after the game.
I have asked around sometimes about others experience and a player coming back is rare. I suspect malice might be confused about what the specialty is supposed to do.

I have only had 1 player come back in the same game. Around 1/20 chance maybe?

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

Yup, I have had it trigger once. But I've often had guys injured in game, and it only be an "in-game" injury...

I think this might be the second time I have had it happen, though I've had a taping injuries specialty most of the time I've played BB. I'd definitely agree the frequency is low, but since I don't really have the need for the massage specialty and it's essentially free, I've stuck with it.

I don't think that's because of taping injuries though. All that's officially said on TI is:

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.

The way I read it is... TI can only work on guys who already have an in-game injury. Not that it converts 1+ week injuries to in-game only. It seems like there's literally zero benefit from TI unless your guy reenters the game?

I think it's the actual level of doctor that keeps injuries down to in-game only. (& not the specialty).

So, the trainer with career extension specialty might stop (25% chance since there's the usual random factor) the drop for older players and if ever there's a skill drop, the trainer level will minimize the drop (for illustriation purposes: instead of 10.0 going to 9.0, the new skill level might be 9.1 for lower level trainers or 9.2 for higher level trainers)

Thanks for finding that! Before reading that, i had never even considered that trainer level could reduce decline! interesting...

EDIT

Yeah, I get that. Which is why I was asking about "level". For me, if it's happened once (an in-game injury)... then it's of value.

So, did you recruit the trainer with career extension after this message?
