Injuries Not Working In Online CFM!!!!!

[splff3000]

In our 32 user online CFM, we noticed about halfway through our first season that no one was getting injuries in games. We played through it tho and even when patch #2 came out, we still noticed no injuries in game. We're in preseason of season 2 now and there are still no injuries, so a few of us decided to make a test league to test out the injury slider. In the test league, we put the injury slider to 100 and we still did not have one injury. We then tried injury at 100 AND fatigue at 100 and still no injuries. At some point about midway through our first season, injuries stopped working. I'm assuming it was some kind of server side update, but they are still not working now. I would think it was just something with our league settings, but even in the test league they did not work. Has anyone else in an online cfm noticed this? I would really like to get the bottom of this because this is really kind of a game killer for me.

Note: Injuries still happen in sims. Also our tests also showed that fatigue is working very nicely and that fg accuracy does absolutely nothing for users.

Same in ours. I already have at bread opened about it. Something else to add to your research is the injuries happen in user CPU games too....just none in user to user....

Very weird

It's straight garbage. It was absolutely perfect pre-patch. For the first time in a while you actually needed depth on your team.

Look at that freaking link!!! Injuries are a part of this sport and it just happens. I know people want to say "well the only time people get injured is when they are part of a tackle or something" and it's a valid complaint but that is STILL way better than no injuries!

Sorry man this topic gets me heated. Madden actually had gave us injuries that forced members in our online league to have depth on their squads.

Once again, the change was complete GARBAGE!!!

Yep it hit us in season 2. Not a single injury all season. We had 2 injuries happen due to 2 sim games. That was it. So, naturally, the option teams have stupid stats with their QBs because they don't need to worry about their injuries.

Weird.

Offline must still be OK because I just lost Gronkowski in a game I was paying for a 6 week injury.

Actually, they stopped working for us BEFORE the 2nd patch. We noticed that they had stopped working at about the midway point of the season and the patch didn't come out until right before we started the playoffs. I'm thinking they did some kind of server side update that broke injuries.

They did a server side update for Online CFM a few weeks ago where the posted on twitter that they were turning injuries off. They apparently just never turned them back on. Really disappointing.

Was it a head to head game or user vs cpu? They definitely still work in vs. CPU games. I'm guessing it probably was user vs user since it's playoffs, but I still have to ask.

I'm in the same league splff and mpbaseball are in, and yes, we haven't seen a single injury since around the first half of season 1.

How does this happen?? Complete BS

Re: Injuries Not Working In Online CFM!!!!!

This issue is absolutely inexcusable. Gameplay issues are always complained about, but in the end it's something I choose to play so you go with it. Overpowered run game, the endless OL/DL interactions etc, but to turn injuries completely off is just beyond me.

I have to ask, why? Was there some sort of uproar over the amount of injuries? And if so, EA actually had their ear to the ground and listened? That in itself is amazing.

I really, really, really hope this is fixed. If not it's just another score for for the arcade/lobby crowd and another loss for the football heads.

Re: Injuries Not Working In Online CFM!!!!!

What tends to happen is the causal guys complain the most. Same thing on 2k the casuals aren't used to the missed 3 points and actually having to play defense so they complain and state it's overpowered.

I'm pretty sure a bunch of guys finally had the QB's hurt. Finally was paying for running that annoying pistol/read option all game. They paid the price for it and probably lost some games because of it. Now we are paying the price for it and in damn near every league all the numbers will be jacked. Along with now having depth is not needed now. Very disheartening but remember guys Madden replicates football,it's so sim and realistic keep being classy guys.

According to Josh Loomans Twitter account

"We turned off injuries temporarily in CFM online head to head games to improve your experience in those games."

Not sure how that improves head to head league games.
