HUT Injuries/Fatigue

[BoostedStig]

For those of you who are actually playing NHL15 now that it's out (albeit for only a few hours), I've run into an issue;

It seems that when a player on my HUT gets injured or fatigued, I can't get them to heal up properly without using an injury or fatigue card.

I can't figure out how to bench this player as opposed to pulling them from the lineup all together, which obviously doesn't count towards their games of rest.

Anyone else having this same problem or am I just overlooking the completely obvious?

It sucks a lot, but according to the EA forums, you cannot heal a player if you don't apply an injury card. It's a load of bull and I hate it. My team is horrible and now 3 of my players are out with an injury and there's nothing I can do about it besides wait for more coins to buy injury cards. Terrible, terrible design!

Hopefully they add a bench like on the 360/ps3 so they heal by simply resting.

That isn't terrible design or an oversight. That is exactly how they wanted it to be.

Having it this way will mean there will be lots of people tripping over themselves to spend real money to get their injured hut star back into the lineup.

When it comes to $$$ EA doesn't miss a beat.

You got that right. I guess I'll have to spam the bronze packs looking for short term healing cards because right now the only ones I have are a couple gold 4 game injuries. Bleh

Already lost track of how many players I've had injured.. every team is so stacked with big/fast players they either paid for or got through pre-sale bonus that I barely get into the offensive zone most of the time without getting leveled/laid-out and lose 1-2 players almost every game it seems

I just sell every player that is injured, fatigued, or out of contract.

It costs more to "fix" them than it will cost you if you sell them off and buy a new player.

I like that idea for injured mostly... figuring out that long term gold contract cards aren't that expensive .. even the 13/11/11 for 13 gold games with a lot of buy it now's at 150 make sense.. then I can at least TRY and keep my top 2 lines and goalies playing, then lines 3 and 4 I can bounce around different players.. still an experiment though, and trying to keep the same 6 gold D or find better even at the same time
