FOF 2004: What is your injury setting?

albionmoonlight · 12-15-2003, 12:49 PM

This is an area where I choose fun over realism and challenge. I get attached to my players and like to see them rack up the stats. I have mine set at 75.

Cringer · 12-15-2003, 12:54 PM

150, helps keep the QB stats in check. And i still set the all time rushing record for my league with Clinton Portis with almost 18,000......so my guys still get stats.

I think I have it at about 80 or so. I feel like that gets me an appropriate amount of injuries... I have about three-five major injuries a year that require me to shuffle lineups. Any more than that and I'd get a little harried trying to sign people to fill out a team.

As I've mentioned a couple of times before, I find that 125 is a good compromise between realism and roster micromanagment, so that's what I've been using.

I think mine is around 130-140 (although I always vote the trout option in polls).

I set mine at 150 and i see it's realist.

I set mine at 120 and it seems ok. Just enough injuries to make it close to the real NFL but doesn't get out of hand.

Leonidas · 12-15-2003, 04:23 PM

I have mine at the default (100) and it seems like a lot less injuries than the past games. But I also noticed that just about every season ending injury is virtually a career ender.

Anyone have better info on what the injury numbers are supposed to mean? The help file doesn't say anything.

albionmoonlight · 12-15-2003, 07:10 PM

The general concensus (I can't recall if stats back it up or not) is that 100 is a little less injuries than occur IRL.

albionmoonlight · 12-15-2003, 07:11 PM

dola:

I am suprised that there are no zero or 200 people in the group. I thought we were a bit more of an extreme bunch than that.

I haven't played with these settings, but it would be nice to turn down the injuries a bit... maybe I'll try a lower setting. Can you change this mid-game?
