It shouldn't: (21282.28)

hi,
32 years old injured 3 weeks, need how long time to recover with doctor level1?

The injury system has just recently been changed, making injuries less severe.

Previously a Level 1 doctor didn't appear to be capable of healing anyone, and even a better doctor might take longer than the amount shown for older players. My experience under the old system was that a Level 7 doctor would heal a player in their early 20s in about the estimated time.

I wouldn't count on a 32 YO with a 3-week injury being back for the playoffs even with a much better doctor.

I haven't read the bug thread yet,

When I got my first injury that lasted more than a game, I still had Level 1 Max Payne. I rushed over to hire a new doc, and that week there was a Level 10 for about the price of a down payment on a BMW. I went a couple of weeks before I could get a new doctor. The injury simply did not heal.

After I got a doctor, the injury started to heal. Unfortunately, I had a swarm of injuries (I had 6 players out at one time)., so I also got some experience with the effect of age on recovery. It really did seem to be similar to HT.

It does appear that in BB, when an injury is +N, it really will be close to +N before a player reconvers (you don't did the miracle cures of HT), and a 24 YO heals about like a 31 YO in HT. In addition, BB has a shorter season than HT, the teams are smaller, and you have two league games per week.

A 3 week injury in BB is (1/5)*(6/22) = 5.5% of league playing time.
(a player is 1/5 of the team, and he is out for 6 of 22 league games)

In HT it is (1/11)*(3/14) = 1.95% of league playing time.
(a player is 1/11 of the team, and he is out for 3 of 14 league games).

means more than 3 weeks he will recover?

I would expect at least 3 weeks.

You ought to read the bug thread...it's enlightening (and maddening).

OK, I've read it. Injuries were made less severe, and the severity depends on the level of the doctor. The rules have always said that the level of doctor would reduce severity of injuries - but you could never really tell.

I think it is still somewhat ambiguous about injuries healing.
