People will latch onto any small thing they can to complain, this certainly is one of them. All this will likely end up being is an extra comment about why the player isn't returning to the game (there are already generic comments that say just as much) and players will be moved to 'out of the game' automatically when they have a concussion.

The rest is marketing fluff. But i know some here will instead insist this prevented them from working on some massive feature like a new engine (or just from one of the more recent replies: combining Head Coach and Madden, alternative uniforms, create a stadium, re-invent tackling)... 'but no, they added concussions instead'.

Not being able to hit someone illegally (helmet to helmet, spearing) and not being able to return to the game after a concussion are both true to life NFL policies (the latter as of next season). I don't really see much room to complain about their inclusion.
