Using Inactive Players Online

[Young J 334]

What's the point in updating guy's injury statuses weekly, but still allowing them to be used online? I should NOT have to worry about Brian Urlacher when I play the Bears online!

I disagree. The whole injury update crap for online "play now" games is dumb, I can see depth chart updates and the adjustments to player ratings, but why should injuries ruin a guy's team for the whole year online?

Just like IRL. When ur best guy goes down for the year, you have to adjust, correct? Same as in a franchise...So why is it that guys can continue to use a player that hasn't seen the field in weeks online? It takes 50% of game planning out of the game. 50% of any game plan is personnel.

For franchise fine, but for playing online which is a waste of time anyway who cares?

Obviously, I do if I posted it. No one is asking you to care. I simply asked what was the deal.

I agree about letting the injured players playing online. Its a one time pick up game so let everyone play.

In a pick up game the injured guy gets to watch...

I know.

I don't know what the deal is, but I wonder if you can tell me (serious question) what about playing a "play now" game keeps you heading back to online play?

To me (just my opinion) playing online is pointless - you constantly run into cheesers, cheaters, and quitters. And what do you play for? Nothing - I guess that playing a football game to me ( unless you are using it for a lab scenario which I occasionally do) without the goal of winning the SB is a waste of time - unless you are playing a friend for bragging rights!

Really sorry for my first post, i am kinda cranky because I have not had a good game of Madden in weeks because EA can't get the franchise mode to work properly and my Madden crew only wants to play for SB glory!
