    This will be a great addition to the game.

    MLB the Show is always praised for their attention to detail yet Madden is criticized when they take a step in that direction. Madden has done a much better job at incorporating the "little things" in recent years and this is continuing that trend.

      Wow!

      I finally venture into this thread and people are actually complaining about this?

      If you were looking for proof that people will complain about anything Madden related...

        Re: Madden NFL 12 To Include Concussions to Present a Safety Message

        I am just confused as to why including anything like this or real-time injuries or any sort is simply for sending a 'safety message' and not for AUTHENTICITY!

        It is almost insulting that they don't include freak injuries that based on the animations should happen more often - ie: broken necks and broken back from hit sticking a guy and virtually flipping him on his head.

        Maybe I am being a whiner (actually, I know I am) but none the less.

        It would be one thing if helmet to helmet collisions were actually what caused concussions in Madden football games, but I have often noticed that injuries are random and not based on where a player gets hit.

        Take a look at how many DEs, LBs, etc. get injured while hitting the QB and the QB gets up like nothing happened.

          so you're saying putting concussions in the madden game going to promote a safety messege? I dont buy it. also, the NFL has been around for how many years and concussions always existed, ever so suddenly they want to make calls to benefit QB's and fine players? its a cheap move man. this was all because of the lock out, trying to make a quick buck. i am udderly disgusted with the NFL, the rule makers and business side that is.

            All fines are donated to charity. The NFL does not seem a dime of it.

              You know what'll be plain stupid......

              They implement this concussion thing and it doesn't result in suspensions or fines during season or franchise.

              It's almost a reward to go for the big hit. Not so much in the NFL. I saw the comment about James Harrison earlier. What can I say, I'm a Steeler fan but I can tell you the consequence of fines and suspension caused him to lay up alot this past season. Especially after the penalities by the commisioner were inforced.

              Do this right EA!

                Concussions happen on a lot more than illegal hits, I'm not expecting league discipline to ever be included in Madden, same with character problems and people being busted for using PEDs. Madden 12, not Playmakers 12.

                I'd want all that stuff too, but there's no way it's coming.

                  Yea again like I said before. I love how they are redoing the injury system this year. I understand some people see this as just another gimmick and all. Concussions has always been in the game. They are just redoing the system to make it more real and true to life football injuries. Again I like how they are doing it and I have no complaints on this subject. All they did was improved it more then anything to be honest.

                    The majority of the time it's on illegal hits. To be honest one of the things that should be removed from Madden is the big hit over the middle. Ain't happening in the NFL no more. Players are pulling up on defense when the ball and reciever on in the air.
