I like my games to be realistic, but this is ridiculous.

Fred Thomas - out Torn Lateral knee ligament - 14 weeks
Andre Gurode - out Torn Deltoid muscle - 28 weeks
Louie Bachechi - Out Strained Achillies - 5 Weeks
Jerome Pathon - out dislocated elbow - 3 weeks
Phillip Daniels - out ACL knee surgury - 49 weeks
Andre Johnson - Out ACL knee surgury - 25 Weeks
Jimmy Bush - Questionable Stress fracture in foot - 2 weeks
Dante Hall - Probable Strained hamstring - unknown
David Carr - Probable bruised sternum - 1 week
Steve McKinney - Probable broken finger - 2 weeks
Xavier Ellis - probable Shoulder Tendinitis - 5 Weeks
Zach Wiegert - Probable Knee bursitis - 1 week
Jamie Sharper - probable elbow bursitis - 1 week

You'd think playing the Texans I'd be used to it. *sigh*

Here comes the flood of people to summarize what many tests have shown. If anything there are not enough injuries for fof2k4 to be considered realistic. Though i'm happy with it.

I'm just bitter. I'm sure it is accurate. I'm just losing my best players and it sucks. :)

I've always wanted to see a history of serious injuries the player's suffered throughout his career. Well, that and Kicker FG percentages. That's just me though - most of my suggestions have more fluff than substance.

That defintly would be nice though, since some players are more prone to injury than others. Wouldn't have to guess if a player was injured all year or just didn't get playing time when looking to sign players.

I guess I kind of get hints, when I review a player's statistical history. I always take note of the Games a player's participated in or started, who's undergone a full season, or a good majority of games at the least.

Still - I'd always like to know the reasons why they haven't played a full season; especially if their attributes would justify them as being a probable starter. I'm sure I could probably monitor this as I go through my season and all - but it'll take me forever to get through one week of simulation at that rate.

Serious injuries would be nice to see on a player's history. I'm sure it'll either sway me in signing for a quick fix, or long term deal by taking the risk into account.

I don't have any real gripes with the program in general - I'm quite surprised folks find bugs (a la Free Agency Veteran Minimum schlabockle). If there's one thing for sure: I'd really suck as a beta tester for FOF.
