Re: Madden NFL 12 Concussions Rare, No Defensive Suspensions, Not Based on Hit Stick
I don't see what isn't to be believed. They likely grabbed the exact number of concussions reported on the injury report. There is no reason to lie about it. They obviously can't get the number of unreported concussions.
There were not 550,000 opportunities to get a concussion. Not every play leads to a chance to be concussed for all 22 players. If a QB rolls out and throws it away on a play in which there was no press coverage then the only players making any contact are the O-Line & D-Line. There are many more examples of plays where not many players see any contact, let alone hard concussion causing contact.
The numbers add up. The .59% is the percentage that an individual play results in a concussion, not an individual player. Their numbers were not exacts. ("over" 25000 plays, "about" 200 concussions)
If exactly 25,000 plays were ran at a .59% chance of a play resulting in a player receiving a concussion then there would be 147.5 concussions.
