FOF 2004: Flu outbreak!!!
 

I did a quick search and didn't find any threads on this. But I click on my injury report after my 2nd game of the season and I see...

That's THIRTEEN players infected with the flu!!! I've never seen this before and it's kinda funny, except next week I play at the defending champion Colts. Has anyone ever seen this before? And how screwed am I gonna be if I play these guys? That's a good portion of my starting lineup, so I can't bench them all in such an important game. I'll dola after I sim the next game :)

ive seen flu and food poisioning a lot. play them anyway.

Yeah, it's relatively common. There's not usually much you can do, so I usually suck it up and play most of these guys anyway. I don't believe I've ever seen anybody "aggravate" their flu injury -- and they almost always return to full strength on or ahead of schedule.

Yeah - there's (probably?) a performance hit, but that's about it.

Well, we sure took a performance hit. We were 2 point favorites and we lost 22-12 to Indy. They had over 200 yds passing&running, plus were 9/16 on 3rd down. They also had 2 TD's called back due to penalties (and ended up with FG's). So without those it could have been 30-12. Almost all of them are 100% now except for like 4 guys.

Just wanted to post it on here, cuz it's the first time I've seen it. New team rule: No more spreading the flu before the biggest game of the season :p

tell them no more gay gangbangs in the showers. that will stop the spread of the flu

Your healthcare expertise is as remarkable as your decorum.

You think that was bad...look at my injury list after the final pre-season game. This makes the final cuts difficult, since you can not release injured players.:mad:

Man I love this game:D

Another shower orgy?

I should hope not....These guys are professionals...professionals I say! :D

IR eveybody you don't want. You can cut them when healthy, or just leave them on IR.

Can you release someone on IR? I don't remember ever trying...:confused:

Yes you can, once they are healthy.

does this only hit in the playoffs? the only other time ive seen this was also in the postseason...

Nope, can happen just about anytime.

Thanks FFF, I am goning to keep that in mind from now on. It could help me out for sure in the near future. :)
