INJURIES R HUGE FACTOR IN MADDEN 11 (in online franchise)

[GREENERRRR]

Injuries are certainly ramped up this year - AND I AM NOT ACTUALLY COMPLAINING ABOUT OUT (other than the fact that i am leaDING MY FRANCHISE IN THAT CATEGORY!)..

all joking aside - INJURIES ARE A BIG PART OF FOOTBALL - and as a deddicated SIM player - I am not belly aching about it - AS LONG AS DOWN THE ROAD MY KEY RIVALS HAVE A CRAZY INJURY SEASON LIKE MINE LOL!... afterall it really is part of the game...

this is my current Injury List:

MLB Beason 97 overall - OUT FOR SEASON (happened in 1st half of 1st game of season) and was my 1st round FANTASY pic - 10th overall...

OLB KRUGER (i play him at DE where he is 79 overall) - OUT FOR THE SEASON

LE CAMPBELL 86 overall - out for 3 weeks

LOLB FOLLETT 66 overall - out for 11 weeks

ROLB MATHEWS 86 overall - out for 2 weeks

WR DECKER 69 overall (and sadly my starter LOL!) out for 1 week


*** this is the 1st time in my extensive ONLINE FRANCHISE experience that i can legitmately say - I NEED AN INJURY RESERVE OPTION!

my best 3 defensive players - gone for next 2 weeks!

My defensive IS FUBAR - held togther with pins, needles and PRAYER - what a mess! - This is even with me given up my KICK RETURN specialist so i could sign a LB (that nobody else wanted) to play a HUGE ROLE in my starting defense!

i am forced to start a SS at OLB for the next 2 weeks (assuming i dont get furthur injuries - and chances are I WILL!)... at least if there was injured reserve - i could designate Beason, Kruger and maybe Follett and pick up a player to fill in at their position - but i cant so i have to play a SS at OLB!

This will be an interesting couple of weeks!

Injuries occur a lot this year. I like it when players get hurt, because it makes it more real, but I would rather have an out for the game injury, than these 3 weeks to season ending injuries.

Yeah these injuries are for the birds....I lost Jamal Charles for 10 weeks,,Broken collarbone last season, I lost Ed Reed for 6 weeks. It really takes the fun out of the game. I wouldn't turn injuries off, but damn!!

I was playing an online game and jeremy maclin had a career ending fractured vertebrae lol. Of course it didn't bother me cause it was just an online game but I thought it was funny

So what to do? How about creating injuries? Just put your best trucking back in at HB and a good impact blocker at FB and lead with another impact blocker in motion. Put some hurt on the opposition.

I might run a fullback at halfback a tightend at fullback and a left guard at tight end. Depends who fits the bill fortrucking and impact blocking. This not only creates injury to the opponent it also tires them out. Especially if you throw in a no huddle evry now and then. Just make sure to keep flipping fresh linemen and backs in when you get a chance.

Then when all your guys are fresh, run the no huddle.

On defense, well that's where most of the injuries happen. That is why my plan works. But it also means you have to keep putting fresh defenders in so you can win all those matchups and hopefully not get hurt.

WIN THE INJURY GAME

Keep your players fresh and hit hard with Hit Power, Tackling, Impact Blocking and Trucking.

Perhaps its time to ask EA to give "game time stat-ups" for the backup guys that plays games for the injured. To me it looks like most of the backups play a lot better then predicted when looking at the real league. Like the Packers backups, or the Charger receiver backups. Even backup QB's have been playing rather decent for 49'ers, Lions and Raiders.
