Just bumping my question.

Anyway, cool blog Ian, as ever. Any move towards a realistic injury system is to be applauded.

Quote:

Kampman was injured and his backup is Jeremy Thompson? Thompson plays DE. Kampman is an OLB now. Has the switch for AK-74 been made in the game?

Nevermind. I see that his position is LOLB and it would make sense that Thompson would be an OLB now too.

Wow...That's about all I can say. This Madden is looking like it is going to be amazing...I'm talking the request off of work for a few days sit around and eat Hot Pockets and play M10 all day kind of amazing...

Ian as one person has pointed out something really important. If a certain players gets hurt in the game. Will that players injury carry over into the next game and beyond. It would be so unreal if the player gets a high ankle sprain one game and comes out the next game like he never got injuried. From game to game it should list the injuried guys from probabal to doubtful depending on the injury and how bad it is. If the player is doubtful then you shouldn"t be given a choicce to play him to further his injury. Because no real NFL coach would put in a player that is very hurt from the previous game. Butanything besides that. Ian you and your crew is doing a great job so far. Now all we need is some more offline franchise blogs and the info on presention then we are set to play football.
