The first time I played the season mode for Boston, two of my players were injured which made me sus that the injury rate was too high in this game. Something happened and I forced terminated the game so I could restart the next day. On replay, 4 players from the two teams (3 of mine) were injured in the very same game. I kept getting injury updates saying Isaiah Thomas had 4 different injuries. Hearing Greg Anthony continually saying he is a tough guy and will pull through made me wonder. At some point I was wondering if they were going to give me an injury update telling me he had died from his injuries (obviously a car accident).
Post-game, those 4 injuries were for the 4 different players, not all Isaiah Thomas. I sucked in the following games without my players, so I decided to start season mode again. On the exact same game, I think 2 players were injured again including Isaiah Thomas who was out 6-8 months! I realized I couldn't compete without him, so I restarted the season again this time with a lower difficulty incase anything happened to my star players. But it was too insanely easy so I restarted again on the harder difficulty and both Isaiah Thomas and Al Horford were injured in the exact same game. However, I have continued to play as they were small injuries. I have since had one more small injury, and my players are now day-to-day. But when Isaiah comes back, if he gets injured once more I think I'm going to shelve NBA 2K17.
It's like Speedball 2K17, where you constantly take out opponent players who are carried off in stretchers and a vendor is hearing saying "Ice cream, ice cream...".
I never got around to playing NBA 2K16 season mode, so I don't know if it has the same issues. But I would kind of like to check it out...
