(odd, because it was 10 on main menu settings) I restarted my CFM with injuries at 15, and so far, there have been a few, but much more minor.

Believe it or not, that's actually not as unrealistic as it seems. Using the NFL's own injury statistics for 2016 there were:

143 MCL Tears (between both preseason and regular season)
56 ACL Tears (same time frame)

If you were to average that out it would be about 6.5 per team (obviously it doesn't work that way, but 4 on one team isn't out of the ordinary).

How it worked for me in M17 was whenever they were cleared of their injury is when you could bring them back off IR. For examole if it was a 7 week injury, you could place on IR and any time past that 7 weeks you can bring them back. But you could only bring 1 player back so placing a short term injury in IR to open a roster spot for that short term could mess you up later in the season. I would assume its the same, except I beleive this year NFL teams can bring 2 players back off IR so it should be the same in Madden. In Madden theres no "designation for return". It was simply pace on IR and when the length was done, return from IR. So if you lose a guy in week 3 of the preseason for 18 weeks, you could bring him back in the playoffs.

When will madden implement a accessories editor like nba live had back in the day. I would love a 2k like cleat creator/editor for creating custom cleats or color combinations to match real life counterparts.

What's the difference between hitting the perfect power bar on a kick vs the very top?

Any idea when this weeks roster update will be out? Quite a few season ending injuries and roster moves happened

What exactly is the gameplan feature when you make a custom playbook? If for example it's 3rd and long will all of my 3rd and long plays show up for me to choose from or does it work differently that that. I desperately need help organizing my playbook

I have two questions:
1. When I playonline head to head it´s 5 minute quarters. I think in the previous Madden it was 6 minutes per quarter? I am right? Why have they reduced it to only 5 minute quarter? I think it´s kind of too shory.

2. When I played yesterday (Browns VS Cowboys) it lagged a lot and then it said "The connection to your peer has been lost". Then I saw that I lost that game. Do you guys think it was my network issue cause that I live in Sweden and I nearly all times face american players? Is it cause Madden servers har hard to connect games from very long distances, like it is from Sweden all the way to america?

That sounds about right. But you are talking about that many in a season. I'm talking about 1 game.
