dicyman Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hi! I was wondering if anyone knows if there is any downside to sending a player to a specialist? Sometimes you get the option of sending home or leaving to physio (shorter time injured vs. risk to spread virus) or giving injections (play next game vs. shorter time injured) but there appears to be no downside to sending to specialist so I was wondering why we are given the option. Anyone who knows? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I think it could cost more to send to a specialist although I could be wrong so dont hold it against me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jops14 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 No you're right it costs more. So if your a small club it may not be a good idea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobby_McDonald Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Not only does it cost more, it's significantly more expensive, especially for a long term injury. Medically it's a huge advantage though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicyman Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 That makes sense. Thanks for the quick replies! Is there anywhere you can see the costs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSGTroyer Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Not specifically. It comes in under "Other" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyr1777 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Not specifically. It comes in under "Other" Dreaded other costs *shudder* I always love how travel is listed under 'Other' and months you don't travel at all still cost the same, if not more, then months you do travel. Sorry for the off-topic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootyManPro_GTFC Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Then surely something should be sorted about this and you should be given a price as you how much it would cost?:/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_chelsea Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 As said, only downside is it costs, would be nice to see SI tell us in-game how much itd cost. example player x is injured (send home) (send to physio) (send to specialist £2,000) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 That makes sense. Thanks for the quick replies! Is there anywhere you can see the costs? Wouldnt it be non-football costs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSGTroyer Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 According to the tooltip that pops up when you hover your cursor on the line, non-football costs are the wages for non-football staff (Charmain, DoF, maybe the Hot Dog Vendor, etc). I assumed the Specialist would fall under "Other" because he is not part of your corporate tree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steellad Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Never realised that but i always send them away anyhow. When have injections ever worked? I always end up with an unfit upset and underperforming player who is then out for longer. Seriously i wouldnt even use that for a major final Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xennaz Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I would also think that time spent "away" from the club (specialist, at home, etc) would also mean that a player's attributes might drop faster/more than when treated by the physios, a variable which would probably be affected by his Professionalism and Natural Fitness, perhaps. This was discussed extensively a long, long time ago, possibly during FM08, heh. I can't say for sure that anyone ever proved this, but it's what I've gone with!

Actually I think this -might- depend on the injury, like I've seen a player suffer a 3-4 week arm injury, yet at the end of that month he still had a stat increase which surprised me but maybe SI has put in enough detail for such things. But if it's a serious injury that would require a specialist then he's certainly not going to be training either way, so it doesn't matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindon69 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I'm pretty sure that in an early version of the game it told you how much it cost when you were asked if you wanted to send your player to a specalist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously i wouldnt even use that for a major final I've got them to work for smaller clubs. A couple of times in late-season battles at a smaller club, and once for a UEFA cup final.

Jason the Yank Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Never realised that but i always send them away anyhow. whs When have injections ever worked? I always end up with an unfit upset and underperforming player who is then out for longer. Seriously i wouldnt even use that for a major final I'll use the injections if a big match is coming up within the period he'd be out for. Haven't really had any problems with it, except if it becomes injection after injection. Might depend a bit on the player's personality. One who "looks forward to the big matches" might be more willing to take the injections than someone who "doesn't relish the big occasions" or something.
