Too many injuries?

[ridemooses]

It seems as though they have really increased injuries for this year. One aspect I really like is the increased amount of small nagging injuries leaving players "Questionable" and "Probable" for a few weeks. However, I've also noticed many more serious injuries as well. In my Wisconsin dynasty Clay and Tolzien are out for the year, I know Clay has a history of injuries but I didn't think he would suffer anything that bad.

I would love an Injury slider, to help adjust for inflated injuries, anyone else?

Funny, I started a dynasty with the Badgers as well and Tolzien was out for the season after the first game..lol. And right now Clay is out for 4 weeks as well.

I too would love an injury slider. I'm in week 7 of my Marshall Dynasty and both of my starting MLB's are out for the season and 7 other players busted up for various weeks.

I've lost hardly anyone. My starting HB for most of a game, that's it - and I'm in week 6 now.

Re: Too many injuries?

I haven't started my dynasty yet but based on what I'm seeing in play now games and what you guys are reporting the injuries seem about right. You guys sound like real football coaches complaining about the headache of having to deal with injuries. Every football coach thinks they have too many injuries. The difference between real life is those coaches can't ask EA for an injury slider. The way injuries are in the game means some off you will have to it the realistic way: win by building depth.

Injury Slider... I've thought that since day one.

Not just that but some times I do not even know a guy got hurt until I check injuries after the game.

Re: Too many injuries?

It seems like if you play a game between two teams with a large talent discrepancy, there are a lot more injuries to the worse team. I am playing my dynasty with Rice and it seems like any game against a ranked team my QB, RB, or WR goes down. I had one game where 3 RB went down with serious injuries.

Re: Too many injuries?

The issue is that these players injury attributes are in the mid 70's and 80's. I have edited every QB injury rating and I am seeing some injuries but not alot in my simulations.

That's the weird thing, I lowered the injury rating for a lot of players on my TB squad and those were the guys who never got injured. Meanwhile the guys with 90+ injury rating seem to be made of glass.

I lost my starting running back (highest inj rating on the team) for six weeks and a week before I got him back I lost my stating QB (third highest inj rating) and the following week I lost my back up QB and backup running back.

Re: Too many injuries?

Nope, it's about as close to perfect as it can get IMO.

I'm in conference championship week in my offline dynasty and I've had 3 major injury's (4+ weeks) so far. My starting SS went down for 4 weeks at the beginning of the season. My 2nd string FS got knocked out for the season around week 3 or 4 and my 4th WR went down for 9 weeks in week 7 or 8. Other than that I've had guys get injured for 2 quarters or out for the rest of the game but that's about it. I think that's darn near perfect as is, please do not change.

Re: Too many injuries?

Yea i like it actully. Its realistic to me.. Beginning of the year my starting wideout went down for 2 weeks. not so bad.. but then my starting QB went down for 9 weeks...lol. the backup played well until week 14 and then he goes down for 8 weeks with an abdominal tear...!! Thankfully my starter is due back for bowl week !!!

Agreed, I think it's just about right.

Re: Too many injuries?

I ended up turning injuries off after getting my RB, QB, and my #1 WR hurt for the year

Re: Too many injuries?

I wish there were more injuries. I just played a whole season and only had 2 injuries that were more than just 1 game. one guy was for 4 weeks, and my other player for 6 weeks. That's it!!!! Not Realistic, if you ask me.

There should be a lot more injuries than just 2 for the whole season.

Re: Too many injuries?

I think they did a fine job with injuries this year. In the 2nd game of my OD season with UNC, I lost Greg Little for the year in the first quarter with a broken ankle. Its hurt my team a lot, not having the go-to guy anymore, but I think this is pretty realistic. After the play happened and I saw Greg limping off the field during the play call screen, I went and watched the replay. TJ Yates, my QB whose not known for his accuracy, had Little with a step on his man on a crossing route over the middle, but instead of leading him like I had hoped, he hung the ball up there. Little gets popped by the man covering him and landed weird, while the game didn't necessarily show his ankle breaking, this scenario seems completely plausible. In the same game, I also lost my slot receiver for 4 weeks to a strained back after Georgia Tech's safety hit sticked him more or less.
