Anyone else experience a nasty injury bug?

[FreshAppleJews]

Just finished the preseason with my Dolphins and it seemed to play quite smoothly. I get into the my first regular season game, one against the Seahawks where I need every key player as possible and within the first quarter I lost Reshad Jones, Ndamukong Suh, and Devante Parker. In the second quarter I lost Ryan Tannehill and Andre Branch.

Every injury knocked the player out of the entire game. Here's a list from the Seahawk game after it was over, and we somehow won:
Devante Parker- 4 weeks
Reshad Jones- 7 weeks
Ryan Tannehill- 3 weeks
Ndamukong Suh- Out for game
Andre Branch- 2 weeks
Arian Foster- 7 weeks

I dropped the injury slider on all madden significantly and then went into the the Patriot game thinking it was over until:
Jordan Cameron- 6 weeks
Jelani Jenkins- 4 weeks

Nearly every relevant player on the Dolphins is out for a nice chunk of time. This isn't the first, but certainly the worst injury bug I have ever experienced in any sports game, and the worst I've ever heard about.

Just finished my first regular season with the Fins. Default sliders, All Pro. These guys missed time:

Tannehill - 4 games
Moore - season ending
Landry - 4 games
Stills - 7 games (two injuries)
Foster - 6 games
Ajayi - 4 games
Howard - 4 games
Jenkins - season ending

Oddly, I never once suffered an injury that I guy came back into the game from. Not one bum or bruise type. If a guy got hurt, he was HURT!

How is this a bug?

Injury slider probably defaults to 10 in play now this year for a reason....

I know it starts at 50 in CFM but maybe they just didn't change that default?

I love the amount of injuries this year. My problem is that quarterback injuries happen far too often. Currently in week 8 of my CFM and I just counted 13 starters and 18 quarterbacks total are injured.

Looking at last years real life stats, 16 quarterbacks started every game last season. If the trend continues in my Madden CFM, it's looking like it will be far less than that.

i just posted about this in the impressions thread..

i simmed a season preseason and season separately about 7 times and nearly half of my starting squad on the 49ers was injured. Now, i dont have a problem with realistic injuries and i know they happen to everybody on and off the field..... but i felt like it was a bit extensive for 8-10 of my starters to be injured within a few weeks of preseason or reg season.....

i did raise injury slider to 50 in the main menu, and have it at 55 in cfm along with 60 fatigue, which may be my reason in seeing this, havent really tested otherwise....

i will add tho, im glad theres more injuries because it leads to more realistic seasons and progression deeper into your team and team planning...
Love/Hate thing lol

i keep trading for karlos williams as my back up to carlos hyde, and geno smith to start qb and EVERY sim they both end up injured along with kaepernick for a minimum of 8weeks or more

So this year the frequency is spot on but the severity is a little much, is that the premise of what seems to be going on?

as far as i can tell on my franchise severity seems to be the issue but mine arent prime examples because of my adjusted settings, although, i beleive i did turn injuries down to 40 and fatigue back to 60 for a few of my sims..

With that said, i still dont necessarily mind, i just cant sim straight, i have to take it week by week and adjust things make trades.. as a "REAL COACH" would, so i feel this keeps it sim in my books. just not what we are used to in the madden world
