Pitch Conditions / League Formation

1. I apologize in advance if this topic has been brought up before.
2. I do not know if such a proposal is possible.

Perhaps this is only a problem in the lower levels, and perhaps it is not a problem at all, but I would like to propose that when new leagues are put together each season that pitch conditions/upgrades are taken into account when forming leagues.

I have been dutifully balancing additions to my roster with additions to my facilities, and as such I have a pretty good roster and a pretty good grounds. I am in a league with many teams that are still playing in their starter "stadium", which amounts to little more than a couple of chairs spread out around a pasture with a few candles on stick for light and a cow wandering around with the score written on its flank, but who have impressive rosters. When my team plays away matches at their "stadiums", my squad tends to see an increase is injuries.

Maybe this goes away as one gets promoted, but I would like to suggest that if enough teams at the same level exist to form multiple leagues, that stadium/pitch conditions are part of the discussion for how to create each league.

Do you believe all this?
The number of injuries that will occur is reduced by a certain percentage after a pitch upgrade is done.
Upgrades for medical facilities lowers the risk of injuries.
Training condition and progress are improved when the training facility is upgraded.

There are many posts in this forum that indicate that all this is a 'gimmick'. Non biased users here will agree that all this is just visual and do not do what Nordeus pretend they do. You will get extra packs and additional money from upgrades and that's it.

Injuries will still occur, probably because a particular number must be respected within a period of time. You can have players with 100% condition, 100% morale, all facilities upgraded fully, use normal tackle and yet have several injuries from home matches. Your team may have 1-2 seasons with little to no injuries and suddenly you will be hit by a stream of injuries just because a particular figure has to be reached within a period of time. Injuries may also occur when the game has decided against you for particular matches; this does not necessarily have to be the match where the player was injured; it could be because of one of the next matches (especially if the next match is crucial - a decisive match for the league, a must win knock-out round match).

No, that is not true, Medical facilities gives redpacks and reduceses the treatment time when players ARE injured.

and of course a player in top health and condition can get injured, however it should be more unlikely (low risk percentage)

Come on Gert, do you think that I'm lying?

I correct what I have said and put it as such: Two medical facility upgrades said to lower the risk for injuries. Now, you must agree with me. :p

More unlikely to be injured? Then how would you explain the fact that I got many injuries after having upgraded facilities such as pitch quality and medical facilities and I had very few injuries when the facilities are at L0 or L1. How would you explain the fact that many users in the higher levels with better facilities have have excessive injuries as compared to what they had in the lower levels with poorer facilities? 'lowers the probability of injury by 20%, 30% , 40% and even by 50%'; many observations have proved the contrary happening. The occurrence of injuries have nothing significant to do with pitch facilities. Some accounts might never had excessive injuries from the first level. Some accounts have had excessive injuries in the lower levels, some in the mid levels and some in the high levels and some a bit everywhere. All these observations clearly indicate that the game works differently to how it should have worked.

'helps with the most severe injuries and health problems', what kind of health problems beside injuries which has already been mentioned in the same line?

1. Part of my reasoning for writing this thread was to see if my own observations are consistent with those of other people. In a league you play every team twice; once at your place, and once at theirs. If everything is equal there should be a roughly equal opportunity for injuries to occur, yet I have observed the last two league seasons that my team suffers a higher rate of injury on road matches, and in nearly every case their "stadium" was essentially a swamp with lines painted on it. As stated in the OP, I am not even sure if this is a problem, hence why I posted about it to see if a discussion would develop.

2. Tactician, you have my permission to quit two days early. You seem profoundly bitter about this game, and to be honest with you, nothing you say is very helpful because you have gone to a dark place where you cannot see any light at all.

The truth is bitter sometimes.
Or is it some of you that have gone blind due to the addiction with this game.

The pitch/grass condition has a slight effect to a possible injury.
Important is the condition of the players, training and participation in two games/day.
I have a team which played this season at lv1, with the 1st grass quality and had very few injuries because I didn't have a 2nd game in a day and my players were old (so didn't train them at all).
Sometimes if you 're playing with a team with low q players , or playing out of position, they tend to "kill" your players :(
Another reason is bad luck :rolleyes:

I apologize for not being completely forthcoming about reporting my conditions. I should have stated that I place a high premium on maintaining my players' conditions and morale 24/7. To my knowledge I have never sent a player into a match not at 99% condition, and only rarely do I ever send in a player who is not 'superb' on morale. I have also never once assigned a player to play a position for which they were not designated.

Basically, with all other variables controlled for (player condition, opponents, etc) the only difference I can find is the stadium itself. Well, and as stated, luck. My hypothesis is that pitch condition influences 'luck' more than a little.
