I try to enjoy this game, but the injuries are ruining it for me

I'd still like to see more injuries that only last 1-3 weeks. Those are a rarity in my opinion. And those are probably the most common type of injuries in the NFL. edit: I think I remember concussion injuries being only a single week. They should be 1-career ending, with the career ending version being incredibly rare. Even in real life there is never an exact time-line for concussions. And some players have their careers end early because of them (Aikman/Young).

I am pretty sure the NFL ruled out concussions for the game.

In my current CFM, I have Montgomery out 7 more weeks, Bennet 6 weeks, Adams 5 more weeks and Clark was injured during the game, but came back.

I think it varies which type of injury a player returns early, but usually, they will offer the longer tenured injuries about 2 to 3 weeks earlier return.

There are different factors that enter into the equation, like fatigue and injury settings. Not everyone will have the same set up.

I don't know for sure, but I feel like they've incorporated several adjustments to injuries during year via the updates. For example during the first couple months of playing CFM I didn't see some of the short term injuries that I see now. Things like muscle cramps, back spasms, turf toe, and various bruises as well.

I'm pretty please with injuries this year, sure it would be better if the off ball injuries had accompanying visual representation of how the player got hurt, but if adding that is a low priority for the near future it's not going to bother me too much.

The only thing that really bothers me currently is the lack of balance in the simmed injuries for CPU teams. In some of my seasons 3 or 4 teams actually go through the whole season with no mult-weeks injuries. While theoretically possible, the likelihood of that actually happening is really low. This is on 50 injuries for the simmed games. If I up the slider, then some teams have 10 or 12 guys gone for half the year. I hope that they can tuned it so that no team gets off scot-free for the whole year.

You ever played football ? You get hurt almost every time if you’re doing it the right way lol

But seriously madden does need an NBA 2k style injury system to have nagging injuries that can cause certain ratings to go down but allow the coach/user to set the player to be active or inactive.

Turn injuries off, or lower the slider

Guess I’m considered a Madden “hater” by this point, but I think injuries are one of the few redeeming qualities about M18. They happen at a decently realistic clip, so I can’t complain in that regard.

Otherwise? Don’t get me started.

Yeah. I just finished my first season of my Eagles Franchise. I found it fun reshuffling my team after injuries. Gives meaning to practice squads and such. Also means you have to focus on depth for your team too more than past maddens. Which is more realistic

Definitely (in addition to what we have now). Though this would end up making injuries more impactful not (as the OP seemed to want) less.
