Players Recovery from IR

Here is the first issue on the NBA Live 2010 Promise List: Players injured in the course of a dynasty or season don't return to the active roster when they recover. The result of this is that players disappear from the league, in essence, because they are forever on the IR. People have to play a dynasty/season with injuries disabled.

The EA developers reacted to the issue in a way that showed they are concerned for the experience people have when playing the game. They unlocked injury status in the 365 updates so people could place injured players in active roster spots before starting a dynasty. That gives people a workaround, which when added to turning off injuries, makes dynasties and seasons playable in the sense that superstars won't drop off the face of the basketball world. Some developers have promised that the issue will be fixed in the 2010 game:

"In some cases" players who are injured do not return to the lineup (unfortunate yes).

There are no plans to fix it in a patch this year and I hate to use the words "it'll be fixed for next year," but it will."
