Great game, it does a lot of things well and very emersive, but something has to be done about injuries in FOF 4. I just finished a season with 6 guys on IR due to long term injuries. On average, I have 5 or 6 guys out total due to injuries each game.
I know injuries can screw up a team in the real NFL, but this is ridiculous. Its not just one bad injury season here or there, its every season. One game, I had 17 players "out" because of injuries, including food poisoning. Food poisoning, are you kidding me? I spend more time than I can count managing rosters because of injuries. I live in Buffalo and when I see the real Bills injury report, its usually maybe one guy out, sometimes two and a few probables, questionables etc. On "my" Bills roster, I have a minimum of usually 4 or 5 out and a bunch of probables and questionables - 10 or more names and that's average. Sometimes its more. As I said, sometimes you have that bad injury season in the real NFL, but with FOF 4, its every year. I want a football sim, not an "ER" sim.
Hopefully, the next patch will address this because, IMO, it needs to be addressed.
