I agree that injuries are not as bad as what they are in real life but I have witnessed another post on the forums where eight players from the same team had injuries on the same play. The play was a fair catch of a punt.

I also think theres a lot less season ending injurys in mfn than in real life. But jdb.. I didnt say anything, okay?


This is actually kind of by design, I want injuries to be common enough that you have to be concerned about your depth, but season and career ending injuries can be a huge discouragement to someone who spends many seasons building their team.

Wonderful. My 5 players injured in one game. Total - 9 players out due to injuries.

Come on. Give me a break.

I think my coaches will have to start playing !

Dont forget you can easily play players who are "probable". And 9 injuries is still very soft compared to some of my teams these weeks lol

Doesnt that increase the chance of another injury?

Yeah probably.. I usually go with common sense.. Like if i have a backup almost as good im pulling even my Probable guys. If not im flipping the coin.

I have a loose rule I use for those probably guys. Any injury that puts them below 60, I'll sit them out. If it's above 70 I feel good about still playing them. The 60-69 is the gray area where I need to make a judgement call. If I've got the depth, they can sit out for a week or two. If not I may need to play them. But I may adjust the fatigue setting for that group if I have to.

This has worked for me so far.

I work around the same base but im way more aggressive. Im putting my gray area around 40-49.

Another thing that will change my judgement is wether the game is important or importanter

I play probable guys all the time and sometimes questionable guys depending on the injury and my depth.
