QB Injuries

One of the things this game kind of annoyed me with are lack of QB injuries. OL drop like flies, but QBs rarely get injured.

Was playing with the Raiders last night and I lost two QBs on back-to-back drives!! My jaw dropped. I was mad as heck but laughing so hard as well.

Well done, EA, well done. EA has a tendency to take stuff out of the game just to bring it back years later as something 'new.' Please do not do this with injuries.

By the way... I lost the game 36-6. I do not invest much in 3rd string QBs because they are never needed. He finished the game 8-25 with 3INTs

One of my most fun franchise seasons was losing the starter early and having to entirely change how I played the game, to work with a weak QB. It actually felt more like real football: a cautious field position game, often draws and screens on 3rd and long, taking what's available, rather than flinging it all around.

One of the self-imposed rules that I make is that I cannot sign a free agent who is rated higher than a player I already have. In real life, it is not too often that a team will lose a guy to injury then sign someone who instantly becomes #1 on the depth chart.

I am trying to mimic that.
