I don't know - when I first read that announcement about fewer injuries I was instantly suspicious because it would save game resources, i.e. red packs or in turn, tokens.

Then I thought 'Great! After all, it's an official announcement.'

Especially the part about fewer in-match injuries grabbed me since I've encountered plenty of hard tacklers that hack your team straight into the infirmary with 2 and sometimes 3 injuries/match (!).

Perhaps that's what would have happened hadn't they changed it, but I still encounterd 5 injuries in the first 7 competitive matches since the league started, so naturally, I'm a little disappointed.

Overall, I can't say that I noticed any change at all other than not getting more than 1 injury/match.
