this is true...sliders only affect gameplay, not simulation.

My point is after minimizing the injury slider, and factoring out beginning roster injuries, you STILL feel CPU injuries are excessive? You do know how many injuries occur in the NFL right?

LOL The Saints in Madden would field a 38 man team if injuries were realistic.

Yeah...Games I played. The SIM injuries look about average but I guess the definition of average varies from person to person.

Im not saying that isnt the case...Im just saying the way it works now is absolutely killing the game. Cant adjust simmed game injuries...IR doesnt work right....not enough FAs...I mean, there really is no excuse for this. As I said before, there are certain things I can overlook, but when it has such a huge effect, there really is no way to ignore it.

I'm 4 games into my franchise, and Mohamed Massaquoi got hurt IN GAME. He's out 8 weeks. Went up for a pass, got flipped by the DB, and hurt his knee.

I never touched the injury sliders, either.

I'd say simming, I'm seeing a lot of injuries...maybe a tad bit more than I'd like, but it's solid. A lot of quality LB's out for the season, though, like Lamar Woodley, James Harrison, and Shawn Merriman.

I have a ton of FA's - not a prob but I'm using the downloaded roster from XBL not the one on this disk. What are you using?

Injury sliders do not work for franchise mode -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At least not for me. Maybe this has been covered, but I see alot of people saying "Stop crying and turn the injury slider down" Well, I just went and did that. I turned it down to ZERO, and simmed the preseason of my franchise. There are already 17 players on IR, and altogether there are 57 players with injuries. Now, overall, its not even that Im mad about how many injuries there are, BUT... 1) This proves that the injury sliders dont do jack for franchise mode

This is what I was responding to.

The downloaded one.

Thats not a HUGE issue I guess, but they hardly have any rookie UDFAs. And the lack of a practice squad really hurts as well.

As long as the IR issue gets fixed, I can live with it.

But to be honest, its getting old having to LIVE WITH IT when it comes to mistakes and bugs on Madden.
