Injured reserve

I absolutely hate, hate, hate the rule about injured reserve in this game. In real life, the player can come back after eight weeks I believe. Here, they have to stay on all season.

I can't even begin to tell you how stupid that is.

Please, please change that. It should be an easy fix.

actually it depends on the INJURE i have seen some players get injured and they stay on the injured reserve for the whole season and some players do come back from the injured reserve


like for example Michael Vick was on the injured reserve when he torn his ACL i think when Bobby Petrino was the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons

awhile 1 year Aaron Rodgers did come back from i think injured RIBS to help the packers make the playoffs.


awhile only way i can think of how to fix it is it would have to depend on the severity of the injury like maybe something TORN is out for the whole season awhile maybe breaking something maybe you could come back.

NFLrules are changing all the time.
Years ago, those out on injury reserve BEFORE the season were out for the year.
Now, they can be re activated, but only two players. It was one till the previous year.

This is the main reason that I have not implemented this rule, because it has changed every season since the NFL changed it, and also because I feel like the rule might be confusing to implement here. For now I will probably stick with the previous IR strategy until I feel like the rule is stable in the NFL and I can make it make sense here.
