Bring back a player from CEI
Posted: Wed May 26, 2010 10:52 am
All of you I am sure know what has happened to Erik Bjornstad, as he cracked his skull in a collision at home plate. But that has not stopped me from thinking. From what, you may ask? Well I think that it is not right for us to not be able to do something about a CEI. How many times do you hear about CEI's taking the careers of ML players in the MLB? Never. There are few and they rarely happen to the pros. The fact is, the pros are paid, and rarely does one get hurt badly enough to where he cant play after rehabbing for some time. The only ML player I know of that was talented that had a CEI would be Albert Belle, and it could be argued that he could have come back from it had he rehabbed or wanted to rehab from it.
I am not here just to argue the fact that they don't happen, we cant change the OOTP code. CEI's will always be a part of the game. BUT, they shouldnt be able to do so as much as they are. So, I am hereby suggesting that we input a system via PP that would be able to bring them back from the dead. I am going to put forth a proposal in which the amount of PP it would take to get your player back would depend on how good the said player would be. So for instance, if he is a 30 year old stud 2B like Channel Cat was, he would cost more then a 21 yr. old 3* prospect. Here is what I was thinking of.
2.5-5* Gold - 75 PP
1-2* Gold - 35 PP
4-5* Blue - 75 PP
1-3.5* Blue - 25 PP
I think this is only fair as this isnt football where CEI's happen a lot. Baseball, especially a young player, shouldnt get CEI's. And for the same injury to another player that is only out one season there is severe flaws in OOTP's injury algorithms. A split open skull should not land you out of your career at the age of 30. This would be a good way to have to pay for your star to get healed and I dont know, maybe there could be a rehab period where they come back after a year and a half alas Robbie Nen?
Also, I am nowhere near set in stone on those PP needed to get a player fixed, that's just what came to mind, could be more or less.
What does everyone think about this. And I don't just want this put in because of Bjornstad's occurance, its the right thing to do.
