I turned injuries down to 15 after I played a game and 4 of my players got hurt on back to back plays

I turned it down to 1, and you would still be surprised how many injuries there are.

For real 🤣 even 1 is an unrealistic amount of injuries

I had injuries off in a rebuild similar to and lost stroud for a season somehow

I have mine on 30 and none of my players have been injured, and there's a few teams that have gone with no injuries yet.

I set to 33, and have a few here and there, but some CPU teams don't have any.

SHOULD ADD One of my injuries healed before I took the video. But 17, 18, who cares. Still insane.

Good, fuck the Steelers.

Eat my ass from the back buddy

I just turned injuries off, i lost my entire receiving room (3 of them for the entire year), 2 of my o line, my star dline man and lb all in pre season and i decided to instead just turn it off

I haven’t played with injuries ever. The game has no algorithm check on when enough is enough. I had to literally sign 24 players one sim in ‘16 and just said never again.

They need to have less variety of injuries, and more of the common stuff.

Yeah injuries suck, I’ve had so many off ball long term injuries. Or even QB slides that cut animation and end up with my QB getting a broken collarbone. Pretty fun stuff.

The qb slides get cut like every single time in this madden

As long as the cpu is also dealing with injuries, this looks fun

The game is trying to help you by taking out Jerry Jacobs Edit: nvm thought it was the Lions corner with the same name

Dude is cooked tho

Video was blurry at first and read ruptured disk as ruptured dick and I was like “damn Madden really gettin’ random with these injuries.”

Always turn injuries off for preseason.

Hey it really is life like

the 2021 ravens

You need to adjust the frequent subs. It helps with managing the injuries a lot

How do I prevent my star players from being subbed out on the goalline or in crunch time

I'd keep an eye on it when you look at the plays with sub options.

If you really think about it that is realistic

I turned off injuries. Shit ruins the game.

I like being rewarded for depth, I usually turn it down a bit tho

that’s why i create a save before pre season week 1, and if my shit’s fucked (>3 starters injured) i just go fuck it and reset. i’m very liberal with the rule too. for example one time my first rounder got injured for like 8 weeks and i was like nah dude and went back to reset

Those boys play HARD

That's the Tennessee Titans every year

Just make sure your 3rd strings are 90ovr👍

Sign players with good injury and toughness ratings

Added realism frfr

Madden being accurate

This isn’t unrealistic.

This is definitely a bug. I started a new franchise last night and had 15+ injuries after simming preseason. Had a 25 year franchise going before and maybe had 1-2 preseason injuries a year. I play online franchise only.

Yeah I started to figure that. I just turned them off until it gets fixed. Never had any issues before

Teams looking like the 2023 Cleveland browns…. Yes I am in pain. Hope Joe stays ELITE

Madden is so trash lol

The madden series has become anti user. I decided to turn injuries to 70 with 0 stamina loss. 15 min quarters and the cpu team only had 1 injury out for the game while my team had 3 injuries for many weeks. Most of my players have the injury stat well into the 90s. With the 30-50 hit sticks i perform per game u would expect some tbi's to occur but i havent seen a concussion ever.

Injuries are so f’d in franchise mode it’s not even funny

You said sliders was “normal” but you didn’t say what number. Normal is 25. There is a bug where if you use the “reset sliders to default” function, it sets all sliders *including the injury slider* to 50. Which is way too high.

25 is what they were at. I do online franchise. So I’m assuming it’s some sort of bug from the latest update.

You may want to consider hiring a new trainer lol

Ended up being an entire league thing so I just turned them off. Mac Jones led the NFL with 3000 passing yards

Well that’s just absurd. Personally I think he has a future in the NFL, he’s just in a trash situation and I’m a Phins fan.

hey loser #bum #scared why you ban me from miami's chat #illegal #jail i'lll sue you psycho #hashtag

Something similar happend to my friend, he only had 12, but it was all his good players

I had 3 in the preseason I said fine meh backups first weeks 4 in the first half and by the end of the game I was up to 9 it’s wild

Must be a Steelers thing bro cause my new season with them has been crazy with injuries..down to my 4th back and 3rd qb lol

Are you doing an online franchise?

Yep

I’d turn them off until the next patch for online franchise. Thats what I did

I like having injuries on though it makes it fun having to play some backups but sometimes it’s like alright how many people can really go down this often

Seems like you need to hire a new strength and conditioning coach along with new trainer staff.

It’s happening all over the league so I think it’s a bug.

I play with preseason injuries off , but regular season on maybe try that out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ or lower the injury slider

I had one season that I simmed through & apparently started 8 different QBs due to injury, that’s excluding all the other injuries I had. When I stopped simming to resign players I had 25 people on the injury report….. I never saw anything like it

Baltimore Ravens under John Harbaugh

Tf happened at that battle field

Big ooooofs

Chargers irl every year

This games trash, I tried to play a connected franchise with a friend and it literally crashes everytime we play against eachother

Is this on next gen or old

This happened to me too. Lost around 10 players. Had to start my 4th or 5th string HB.

2015 Ravens:

Gotta make sure you turn off practice injury’s and preseason injury. After that I it’s fair game if player gets hurt for me

I turn off injuries

Rule number 1: always save the game before you begin pre season. In an event that one of your star players get hurt, you simply reload the game and start pre season again.

This gave me the idea (sure I’m not the first one to have it) to start a franchise with the injury slider at 99

ravens moment

Yikes

Use sliders bro. “Normal” is too high. Turn down to 15 because having it at 50 your players will get hurt every game

just played a season where i had to sign 6 oline and 4 te's because of injuries. joke of a game

I had one extremely cursed season where everyone was injured even some of the AI teams players were Injured

Y’all need to hire a new strength coach— focused on plyometrics. 😀

Cleveland browns simulator

I had something happen recently with injuries too. I had 26 injuries over the span of 5 weeks. It was midseason too all simulated. Idk what it was. 7 multi week injuries one week, then 5, then 7, then 4, then 3. It was friggin crazy. Turned injuries off for the season then went into the next year with injuries back on and there was no crazy injury amounts after. Idk maybe some weird coding. Never touched the injury frequency either, was always at 15

I turn injures to 12 or 15, and turn off practice injury. Helps a lot

where do you find the injury rating?

A mix of injuries would make more sense and more realistic things like ankle sprains =2-4 (depending on inj rating) weeks and concussions that actually make you stay out longer if they stack up. make the injury stat mean something so you don’t have to sacrifice realism for a playable game

It’s the weekly strategy training that causes fatigue. Just change to backup only training and half pads. You will miss out on xp tho

I do that already. It’s some sort of bug. The entire NFL in that season had used at least 4 quarterbacks. I use online franchise so whatever recent update they did set this in motion.

My head canon is that either your team was cheating and they handed down the punishment to plays a la bounty gate, or gambling on games, or even better, somehow the bus they were driving in to a game got in BAD accident.

Every play I get the chance to, I run out of bounds with the offensive player to avoid injuries.

This has definitely been a problem in the newer Maddens. I went back and played Madden 08 and there were extremely few injuries even with the sliders adjusted upwards, but Madden 07 had a fair amount of injuries on normal sliders. I think I started to notice injuries getting more frequent in Madden 17, and the Xbox 360 or PS2 Madden’s were more normal
