Player Injuries in College 25

[JBoo2911]

It seems like players never get hurt besides for in-game injuries. With Injury slider on 56 now, I’ve never have player(s) hurt for weeks @ a time or out for season possibly. Seems like injuries were nerfed cause I recall seeing some when the game released. I’m playing multiple Dynasties and seeing this issue. Anyone else??

You can get some by raising the fatigue slider. But it still isn't enough.

What I do now before I play a game is save, simulate that game, and check injuries. Anyone on the injury list I write down how long they'll be out, and manually remove them from my Depth chart until they're back. It's still not enough (sim injuries are also way too infrequent, but at least this way I'm on a level field with the CPU

Yea i have fatigue slider on 65…. You look @ CPU injury report, most teams have 2-4 injuries on average.

I went up to 92 fatigue and still only got a couple of injuries over the course of a dozen games or so (I've dropped back down to 85 and haven't had a multi week injury again in probably 10 games or so).

I simmed a couple seasons just to track week by week injuries for simmed games, and yeah, the average peaks at around 2.20-2.50 per team starting in Week 9. Still quite a few teams at the end of the regular seasons without a Injury. And I've never seen a team have more than 8 in a given week.

If simmed Injuries were roughly doubled, I think that'd still be pretty reasonable.

Uh, my offline dynasty is going through an injury crisis right now and the injuries are all on the defense side, while I'm not controlling, and one happened in between weeks. I kept fatigue at 50 the whole time since a few seasons ago I lost 2 HBs in one game - one for a season and change, another came back for the national championship game.

I think there's some RNG issue that wasn't tested enough because the injuries keep happening on plays that shouldn't be causing injuries. One of my HBs got hurt on a fake throw to him in the end zone - but he wasn't even tackled, he just wasn't open. Did I miss a memo where eligibile receivers can get rekt just by virtue of being eligible? That particular bug seems to be a one-off, but I've been carrying extra kick/punt returners because they would randomly get hurt on seemingly normal plays too.

I don't know which patch was the one that started it all but definitely not the release.

Most of my injuries come from contact. How many of your injuries didn’t? You’re acting like no contact injuries don’t happen in real life. Not only do they happen (not as frequently as contact injuries, but they absolutely happen), but they’re often the most severe injuries.

Are you super simming defense? And what is your injury slider at? Because injuries seem to happen more if you super sim, and the injury slider plays a big role in that (as opposed to minimal impact on played games and no impact on fully simmed games).

Currently have injuries at 55 and fatigue at 75 (my settings for several seasons now).

Last year, my quarterback missed most of the year with a broken leg. A safety went out late in that same year with a fractured shoulder blade, and he's also missed most of the following season. I had a DT miss about half the year.

This season, I have a starting linebacker out for the year with a torn pec, and my tight end got a broken collarbone.

All occurred when playing, not simming. Haven't simmed a snap with this team.
