5/11 (45%) of your offensive players WILL NEVER GET INJURED in Madden 17

Interview with cfm lead designer

9:17 mark he confirms no ingame OL injuries for '17

That would be 45% of your offense on any given play will never get injured ingame.

Maybe its just me, but I Would consider the ability to have ALL players have a possibility of getting injured ingame FOUNDATIONAL and critical to SIM play.

I give EA credit for the things they are adding to cfm this year. Being able to edit player ratings in cfm is not insignificant. Hoping they added the ability to add injuries like mlb show.

Even adding in a bandaid or tactical fix like a percent chance per play of an OL injury would be welcome until they can implement a more physics based solution.

A "big decision" would be trying to keep a cohesive OL on the field. Blocking and tackling... This just seems basic.

Its 2016 and in the only NFL game 45% of your offensive players are INVINCIBLE every offensive play!

I agree with you OP

[SolidSquid]

Agreed 1000%. No reason we shouldn't have off ball and non contact injuries for every position already

For me this is far and away my biggest disappointment for M17. I really consider it a huge failure for the development cycle.

These are my feelings as well. There was a good discussion on twitter going on with Clint last year about this and he seemed to want it as well. He didn't promise anything, and has consistently said it's something that's really hard to implement without breaking the game, but I was hoping we'd get it somehow this year. Not calling out the devs at all—just disappointed it couldn't get in.

I'm with OP, I'd take canned injury animation/scene based on percentage rolled every play based on injury rating.

How common a storyline is piecing together an o-line as you get deeper in the season?

I wonder what about implementing off-ball injuries would break the game. I'd be curious to know more about the obstacles from a design perspective.

Absolutely, I'd be more than happy with this! Takes away from the game when it doesn't matter who it is, or even if you have backup o-line.....as well as the fact that o-line ratings are meaningless for pass/run blocking.

Agree 100% with the OP.....huge whiff.
