What injuires have u had How do u overcome them in your Franchise?

[Chetballard]

I am 7-4 with the Texans on my first franchise. Steve Slaton just went down for 10 weeks with a broken collarbone. I had him hurt before but reset the game cause of it. Now i will just take it and I signed Edgerrin James. I have not played a game yet with him. But i do not expect him to be as good as slaton. He was less then 100 yards away from 1000 with the season more then half over.

Its tempting to just restart the game, when a major player goes down. I will see how I do without Slaton.

Isn't that the challenge?

Of course that's the challenge, but that's why i just kept it this time.

I didn't know people still restarted their games because of something like this ..

Maybe i was sore loser for restarting the other time he got hurt. But last time was 3 weeks this time 10. So i think its even now. Enough about me. Just talk about the post not me restarting the one time. Which i wont do again.

I lost McKelvin on the first play of the game for the season...in my franchise before the Favre/Vick roster update came out...I didn't know what to do, luckily I wanted to restart with the roster update, so he's back now...

But, I would have just made do with what I had. Put him on IR and see where it goes from there, hoping a young guy can step up....

and play a lot of zone...

I had Clements out for 5 weeks, and Gore out for 7 weeks .. I went 2-5 during that stretch ..

I love running the ball and controlling the clock but was unable to generate any running game with Robinson or Coffee ..

LOL,oh jeeeeeesus dude.....I like it when a realy good guy goes down for longer than a week or 2 it adds more challenge to the game and thats when you becoming a good owner and coach come.My defense sucks i use the saints and we had sharper go down in the last pre season game for 12 weeks and I rode with it.And yeah the cpu was throwing all over the place but it gave my rookie a chance to step up and get some playing time and it gives you somthing to look foward to mid season in my case for when he comes back.

Re: What injuires have u had How do u overcome them in your Franchise?

I've been through 15 games in my 49ers franchise with 120-130 plays a game and have had only one injury that lasted more than a few drives which was 10 weeks with Cornelius Ingram, the injury prone rookie TE who is out for the year in real life with the Eagles. Is there something about the 49ers staff or something? I read that one of you had Gore and Clements out for a while. I would love for that to happen to me. Do they even have medical staffs in owner mode? If so, I'm getting a serious downgrade in the offseason.

Lost Gore(for season) when simming preseason and didn't even know until regular season started. I usually load it after simming if there is a big injury but I already saved it, and sadly, had to deal with it.

Coffee went up +6 the following year and had 9 Rushing TDs.

Half way thru my first season i lost Kurt Warner for 6 games with a broken collarbone, then 1st game of the 2nd season, he goes down for 5 weeks with a broken collarbone. First time i used Josh Johnson to replace him and he did great. This time im using T-Jack to replace him (Picked him up thru FA) He is doing decent so far, throwing alot of picks tho. And i lost Brandon Spikes for 1 week and Bryant McFadden for 3 weeks. Lost both of those guys during the pre season of my 2nd year.

Yes there are training staffs you can fire or hire in the off-season.

Gores injury was my fault because I put him back into a crucial game that I was losing .. should have just let him sit on the bench because I lost him and the game anyways ..

Clements got owned by an O-Lineman after an INT ..

Into my Second Season of my 9ers Franchise and these are really the only injuries that hurt me ..

A couple Maddens ago, I remember losing McNabb during the second half of a winning season and A.J. Feely had to run the offense from that point on because I think I traded Garcia away earlier that season.

I never restarted. And I finished 8-8. Injuries are a part of the game.

I was forced to restart my Dolphins Franchise after the first game of the regular season. I lost Pennington for the year and then Pat White went out for the season after a devastating neck injury. There was no way in hell I was playing the rest of the season with a third stringer and a 2nd string punter running my Wildcat offense.

Not on my team, but Clinton Portis went down with a career ending broken vertebrae injury in pre-season.
