I am starting up the second season of my franchise and I really didn't get anything to speak of in the first season. I would get the little ones that would last a quarter or two but nothing major for even a couple of games. There are quite a few on IR on other teams but not mine.

In game injuries for extended periods of times are extremely rare, although sim injuries seem to be more normalized. I actually don't know why this is. Although I was playing the Titans online last night and Keith Bullick was out for 5 weeks and his backup got injured the very next play and was out for 8 weeks.

why have injuries in franchise if its only for a quater or so?

Just adjust the injury ratings if you find there are too many/few injuries to your liking. Check out some of the sliders, they have some injury ratings they use that end up being pretty realistic. And besides, its fun (never fun in real life) when someone gets injuried and you try to find someone to replace him. I think it provides more challenge to the game and shows your GM/coaching skills to keep the play of that individual from falling off when a replacement comes in.

It isn't the NUMBER of injuries that is the issue, it is the LENGTH of injuries. I played about 25 games, and I don't believe I ever saw a single injury extend beyond the current game....most were some minor rib, chest or stomach injury that last at most 2 quarters.

I've had a RB out with a 10 week injury once.

Other than that...it's pretty much a few plays to qrt length injuries.

I actually had my RG go down for 6 weeks. First time I have EVER had an OL injured, and also the first time I have had a long term in game injury.

I would like to see a few more, but I suppose it's acceptable.

You could always institute a house rule and if one of your guys goes down keep him out for a week or two. Call it a nagging injury like a hamstring or groin pull.
