does the rate and length of injuries vary depending on if you have GB or if you have a Pack Manager?

I normally have a lot of GB and a Pack Manager. I ran out of both recently and have chosen to not purchase any until the new year - given Striker Manager usually has some sort of buy one get one free deal.

almost to the day that I ran out of GB and Pack Manager, i have noticed a considerable higher rate of injuries and longer term injuries in my squad (one player, for example recovered from 5 week injury only to get a 9 week injury his first game back).

this is not to say i did not have injuries before - i certainly did.

but now i get an injury almost every other game.

if anyone has insight and not simply speculation, that would be helpful. anecdotal evidence (a similar scenario as mine, having previously had GB and Pack Manager and ceased use of both) would also be helpful as comparison too.

the optimistic side of me thinks it is just a coincidence. the cynical side of me thinks it is a design in the game to increase purchasing GB or a Pack Manager. if it is the latter, i think i will definitely wait until the new year to buy GB at a discount, if at all, given that this should probably be transparent to all users.

You'll notice that with pack manager, that your physio runs every day, even when the whole team is on full fitness.

Theres been some guessing that running physio every day, whether you need to or not may decrease injury levels.

I never bought into the running physio lowers injury argument, so I fire my physio after the first week of the season.

The striker labor relations board will be investigating the dismissal. He has filed a formal protest . 04/11/2012 19:04
