No starters are getting any snaps on special teams during the preseason except punters, kickers and long snappers.

No head coach in his right mind would sent any starter out on kickoffs or punts if he expected to keep his job but he has the luxury of a 90 man roster.

I honestly dont care about injuries but it's become an issue for many and I tired of talking about it again and again.

Every NFL player plays hurt...its just the fact. Maybe if we removed the ticky tack injuries like p1-p3 and just used p4 and above.

You keep talking about how many snaps players are getting. A starting offensive lineman in the NFL plays every offensive snap unless he gets injured. There have been seasons like the Rams either in 2017 or 2018 where the entire offensive line didnt miss a snap.

Here in MFN, we have to set our fatigue settings well below 50 and rotate olineman yet we still get injuries based on fatigue. It doesnt make any sense.

No NFL team pulls there LT during a drive because 'he is tired" never happens

I vote for a change in the fatigue logic. To see what that does first . I don't want 400-500 touches/ 2000 to 3000 all purpose yards from 15 players a season because of another nerf put in by just lowering injuries . Cluster injuries will still be here but less and smaller guys will be too tired.

Let's call it a hot fix if you want to vote for lower injuries rates. It will make a people happy but it won't really fix the problem . Which could even be simply the longer sustained drives coming with styles played under the 4.5 code


Nobody said turn em off. Just TURN EM DOWN. (There I said it twice)
Somebody changed a setting recently(whether they meant to or not) that has caused a significant jump in injuries.... It didn't just all of a sudden happen to be that way.
I just want them toned back down to a more manageable problem.

I'm just going to leave this here from tonight's action. A simple point-after attempt in which FIVE players are somehow injured. If this is the new norm...TURN 'EM DOWN!!

Yikes! I've seen this on kickoffs in the past but never on extra points.

Maybe the sim engine has a code in it to zap Raider entries....Vegas, Oakland or otherwise. My immediate thought was this can't be Greg again when I saw LVR. I'm sort of half-kidding. There could be a slight code mistake which makes the sim see red on Raider players tossing lightning bolts down upon them with more of a rate than other teams.

This play happened in the USFL TITLE GAME.

Ever watch an NFL game on TV and watch 6 different players limp off the field injured on the same **** play?

To be fair, it happened a week or so ago....but obviously this play stood out to me since I had 5 players injured on the play and my opponent Raidergreg had one.

Imagine this play in the Superbowl where 6 players are down on the field and the medical staff has to help each player off the field. There would be like a 20 minute delay in the game while they were carted off.

I've got an idea!! Lamba, why don't you quit trolling people who voice their displeasure with parts of this game. Ever think that it might just be the way they vent. You know? The way they let their frustration out.

Maybe one time is enough?

When you spend weeks "venting" about the same exact "issue", it's just whining and bitching.

Everyone get hits by injuries sometimes. It's part of the game.

It funny how you all see me as trolling, when the best piece of genuine advice in this topic has come from me. Actually the two best;

1) If you're not having fun - quit. It's not supposed to be a second job, it's supposed to be entertaining. It's a game.

2) We need injury management tools, not a reduction in injuries. Playing with no injuries would make this game dull af.

You're welcome.
