Suddenly White and Jenkins can catch the ball.....i wonder why? Is it because the QB actually gets the ball to them in the right spot and doesn't throw a 100mph ball to the WR when hes 3 yards away from him? Vick has always been an overrated POS and all he is now is an overrated POS who is a felon.

pretty sure roddy was one of the leaders in # of passes not caught & was one of the leaders in dropped passes..

Guys, Let's end the Tom Brady/Mike Vick overrated/underrated conversation please. That's not what this thread is about.

Brady goes down with an injury and doesn't return so after the game I go to the medical center to see how bad the injury was, and it says: Fractured Vertebrae Career Ending Has anyone else seen this happen to such a high profile player?

why cant this happen in real life?

Redman's a beast! lol he does have decent stats for his career for almost a career back up. And Ryan got hurt in both year's of my franchise thus far...he is apparently injury prone.

Has anyone noticed if you look at the box scores each week that there will be numerous teams that have two or even three QB's on their boxscore as attempted passes? I think it's a little extreme at times in the amount of teams each week.

Haven't seen any career enders yet in games that i've played (4 franchise seasons). But to be honest I haven't scrolled through the league's injuries much to see what's going on with everyone else so I might've just missed them. But yeah I noticed when I sim the injuries for my team are out of hand so I turn injuries off when I sim the pre-season and a reg season game here or there and then turn them back on when I play my games.

Great job ending Brandy's career though!

I don't know whether or not the injury slider effects simmed games or not but I do wonder if it is maybe messed up because if you have it at 100 their should be injuries all over the place, especially at the rate that I see them with mine set at 58.

Last gane of my second season Fred Taylor broke a vertebrate. He had just cracked the 10 top records for must rushing yards

Injuries should take their toll in this game, just like in real life.

This reminds me of Head Coach- Each body part has a % attached to it (The lower the % the higher the chances that the part could be hurt again). Like if someone got a torn ACL and was out for the year, once that injury was done, The highest that part would get to is like 75%. And it would stay that way their entire career. So you could have game to game wear and tear as well as year to year wear and tear. It was awesome.
