Injuries - too frequent to starting HB and QB?

[SWertsch]

I don't know about anyone else, but I am unable to finish a game without my starting QB and HB getting injured. Most often it is a first quarter "mild concussion" but it is literally every game. The QB is the most frequent, making it impossible to rack up any stats with a consistent QB.

They both have over 80 injury.

A few years ago there was an injury slider (at least in Madden) but now I'm stuck just turning injuries off.

Because Fatigue is weird. The more tired your player is, its exponentially easier to get hurt. If your moving around in the pocket a lot or if you had to scramble for yards, your QB will almost always be orange or red. It sucks that cheesing is so bad that this was the only solution EA had to help aid that. It takes away the experience from playing with / against mobile quarterbacks. Best bet is to adjust your auto subs for HB, and if your QB is in yellow fatigue, than run some runs or quick passes.

Injuries are always a little buggy. I haven't had an OL'man injured in the past 2 iterations of NCAA unless I sim. Now that I think about it, defenders rarely get injured.

Re: Injuries - too frequent to starting HB and QB?

Yeah if you run with the QB you can't get hit.

And if a player is injured and you have the option to bring him back into the game do not do so if it says reinjury risk high.

I have been running the ball alot with the QB and you literally can't get hit.

FSUs EJ Manuel is 6'5 242lbs with a 4.51 forty time, but if he gets tackled by a CB he is out for at least 1 qtr.

I guess theres only 1 Tim Tebow or Cam Newton Lol.

Considering QBs get hurt more often from blindside sacks than they do running the ball, I find this very annoying.

In my online dynasty I have the option of juking the safety or last defender for an extra 10-20 yards or sliding to end the play.

Thats a big difference in human vs human games.

QB and RB is the worst for injuries. I can't remember the last time I lost someone outside those positions for more than a game.

It's been that way for awhile in NCAA. I never lose my linemen on either side.

i find playing with michigan is pointless because denard and the starting rb are taken out in the first quarter every time. i played one where denard was taken out on the first play. i think they only have a 72 injury, but give me a break ...they can both finish a damn game.

first game with them, robinson was injured 6 or 7 times. ridiculous.

Re: Injuries - too frequent to starting HB and QB?

thats wierd ive only had my rb injured probably twice in 5 sesons and qb injured once and hes a scrambler.ive had various Wrs and defensive players be injured though but nothing that seems out of the ordinary

Re: Injuries - too frequent to starting HB and QB?

Yes it's very annoying. My QB for eastern Michigan has 84 stamina and 81 injury but these past there years he has played a total of 6 games because he gets injured.

Like EA....do you watch football? QB's are not just some fat lazy person who is the biggest part of the football team....these boys are athletic or else they wouldn't be in division 1 football.

After 17 games I've yet to see an injury to my QB or the cpu's. My RB has got knicked up many times but only been out 3 quarters at the most.

Re: Injuries - too frequent to starting HB and QB?

I've played somewhere around 25 games, and the opposing team's QB has been injured in probably a quarter of those games. My QB has been injured a couple times (on sacks). I always run out of bounds when I scramble with my QB. I've seen a couple HB injuries and multiple WR injuries.

I really dislike how your QB turns red if you run with him. And I dislike it even more if EA did that because of online play. It is REALLY weak to handicap your game because you're worried about how people play online. It's even weaker to have that carry over to offline plan (or, the only way I play this game). That's just disappointing.

Cheesers ruin things for everyone. Exactly why I loathe their playstyles.

Madden has injuries PERFECT. Don't see why they can't copycat Madden.

Re: Injuries - too frequent to starting HB and QB?

I have seen way too many injuries to my RB's. The final straw was that my one RB was the leading Heisman candidate through 9 games in the season then got hurt and missed the rest of the season. Now I do realize that could happen in real life, I got so sick and tired of my RB's getting hurt every game that I finally turned Injuries off.

Not a big deal to me having to turn it off, just takes a little of the realism out of the game due to the excessive injuries which isn't realistic either.

I dont see a problem with this. Plus how high recruits ratings end up being its easy to have 2 or 3 RB's with ratings in the high 80's and 90's. It helps to balance things out with how high ratings are.If anything that needs patched first.

Re: Injuries - too frequent to starting HB and QB?

I've probably played 200 games in dynasties between 2011 and 2012 and I've never had an offensive lineman injured... It affects how I recruit because you need absolutely no depth there. You get 5 good recruits they will be the only ones you need for 4 years.

My RB for my Wyoming dynasty....guy named Alexander, got hurt in the first quarter of his first game in his Junior year and then again 1st Q/1st game his senior year. Both times out for season. Sucks.

I've actually been down to my 4th string running back in games a couple times due to injury this year.
