There. Are. Too. Many. Injuries.

I'm just annoyed that my star HB gets injured every game in the 1st quarter an is out till the 4th in my OD. Hes all I got at Washington St lol. Other then that slight annoyance I really like the injuries this year. Now the fumbling on the other hand is way overdone.

See, I have never had an issue with the fumbles. They dont seem to happen to me that often.

I haven't had many injuries, if anything, some of the hits I have seen seem like there would have/should have been more.

I'm on year 3 of my dynasty and the worst I have had is two players out at a time, the longest was 8 weeks to a torn MCL (should have been longer, IMO, with a blown out knee)

Same here, well, I have problems with fumbles only when I overuse the right stick and try to juke out of tackles or spin my way out and there is a swarm of tacklers, but that is very realistic to me since you see these guys in real life dance around and get the ball stripped instead of just going down when you have three defenders hanging on you.

Agree. Hasn't been an issue for me.

Washington State Football has a history of freak injuries though. There was that one year , I think it was '93 , where a cheerleader was out for year with a herniated disc in her back. She got it while grazing near the 45 yard line

There's way too many injuries on this game, just like last year.

The no-huddle increases injuries b/c it increases the number of plays, and QB's get hit too much after the throw, thus getting hurt.

I turned mine totally off just like last year. I dont mind having one star player out....get the backup some experience, but too many guys go down on this game.

Lots of this. No-huddle doesn't increase injuries solely because of the number of plays being ran, but primarily because of fatigue. Fatigue increases injuries. Yellow, orange, and red players are much more likely to get hurt, and when they get hurt they're much more likely to have serious, long injuries versus the green and light green players.

Now, that's not to say that the greens and light greens can't get hurt. They certainly can. It's just not as likely.

Running the no-huddle increases player fatigue because they have less down time between plays and less substitutions.

I employ a run-first west-coast style offense. I have at least two running backs plus a full back sharing carries. When I do pass, I spread it out, and I try to make quick decisions so my quarterback isn't getting hit. End result? I have relatively few offensive injuries.

In fact, most of my injuries tend to come on defense when playing against no-huddle teams. I try to strategically use my timeouts on defense in order to allow my defense to rest to prevent injuries.

On both sides of the ball, I substitute enough so that the majority of my players are as green as can be at all times.
