Just checked all my players skill stats, every one of the injuries that each player had receieved is or was within 4 skill points of his next star.
Now that is not random, it certainly is something within the game engine slowing development down; also checked their skill points awarded during training and games around the time they were injured, missing skill points during training; in three cases no skill points in games, even with goals, assists and good form ratings.
Here's the one injured yesterday.
Could it be coincidence? Is there any constants in this game? aside from feeding the beast.
