I lost my best rook. I knew I'd lose someone. The majority of people who responded either said "I don't care" or that they wanted them on.

I think right now everyone is dead set against having a system, so we'll have to wait to see what fmt decides on free agents. I need some depth before week 2. :(

btw- it sucks that we still don't have IR or PUP.

question about this game:

When you're scrambling, is their anyway to tell a receiver to move if he is standing still at the end of a route? I know this was used back in the day and I thought it was gone until recently I saw someone scrambling and a wide receiver on the sidelines had a blue circle under him and ran up.

Might as well just make it simple. Just have the teams by team rating get a selection, teams with identical rankings flip a coin. Not everyone has to make a pick and can pass.

Sanj ask your buddy if he wants to play tonight. Got a dinner to go to but will be home at a reasonable hour.

He said give him a time and he'll be there. He probably will be around most of the night my guess.

you can't tell your players where to go mcneily. they took that out of next gen madden because it was abused so much. they also took out the lead blocking feature :(

anyways i crushed the bucs. their o-line is about as bad as the bears :lol

important question for everyone in the league!

when the league starts tomorrow or friday, do you want injuries on or off?

the reason i ask is as you can see from playing exhibition games, some big time injuries happen, and they aren't little touch injuries where your dude is back in a couple plays.

i personally am fine with them on, but i know some people have expressed concern. majority rules in this instance. EA is said to patch the injuries to tone them down a bit, but that patch isn't here yet. do you want to play with fire or do you want to be a bunch of va jj's?

I know Rors wants to keep them on, but he basically ruined play art for everyone so I say we keep them off! Is there a way to turn them back on after the patch?

1-0 Off

McNei1y said:
If im in for sure, I want them off until their fixed (which wont matter anyway since the league has started). I'm the skins in another league and I literally have my best player at every position injured. (a bit of an exaggeration). McNabb, Haynesworth, Portis, Williams, and Orakpo... 3 of them for 2 weeks, the rest for the season.

Birdman02 said:
I'd prefer to keep injuries on. There haven't been many in my scrimmages or tournament games that I can remember, so I don't really see what the big complaint is. That said, I'll probably lose half of my roster in my opening game against the Vikings.

AstroLad said:
ON. worst-case scenario i get a bunch of ridiculous injuries and at that point we can just restart the franchise

LukeSmith said:
I'd rather have them off until the patch, but whatever is fine with me. I'm cruising to a 3-13 year based on my scrims anyway

3-2 Off

DenogginizerOS said:
The game is already a joke. I would prefer they be off but since we are damn the torpedoes with getting this league started, we should just leave them on. Heck, we should go all pro too and just have mega shootouts. And why not a fantasy draft, too? And how about nano blitzes? They would be a blast.

I don't know what to put him down as.

Id vote injuries off till the next patch and on after

4-2 Off

Wellington said:
Off then on like Sable.

If what McNeilly said above and what we have seen in regular online games are any indication, it's going to be a disaster. I have Sage, I'm 3 deep at S and RB, 4 deep at CB, 4 deep at DE etc, so it won't affect me much, but what's going to happen if (when) teams that don't have the depth lose their top guys? The Jags might as well roll over without MJD this season for example. What if the Bills lost Spiller or DM lost the ability to Freeball?

I'll roll with it if it's on because I have enough bodies to plug in, but if we do leave them on I suggest putting a system in place for picking up waiver wire free agents because it's going to be a free for all (worse than last year).

^ He was referring to Sable's post. 6-3 Off

storybook77 said:
I'd vote that if we can turn injuries on and off during the franchise then turn them off until after the patch. If we can't change it during the season, then we need to leave them on. Otherwise we'd basically be playing a preseason franchise until the patch comes out because everyone would want to restart so injuries would be in after the patch.

BigAT said:
You can definitely turn them on/off at will. I'd say off initially then back on again, but I really don't have a problem if we do injuries on from the beginning.

AstroLad said:
Oh well if you can do that then off is fine with me to start (wouldn't have a problem with them on either).

^ Recanting his previous vote. 9-2 Off

I have Cadillac, and even I say have them on.

Stop bitching about injuries!

McNei1y said:
I voted off but I don't care either way. Consider my vote neutral.

Injuries is a risk everyone faces so I'm fine with it.
Click to expand...

^ Also recanting previous vote. 8-3 Off

DCX said:
I agree with keeping them on, it adds to the nature of the game. It's broken till patch three anyway so the player with the less injuries and best Red Zone TD % will win the league this year. The good news for the rest of us is a stocked draft class ;)

8-4 Off.

Even if you take out my vote and ATs vote it's 6-4-2 in favor of off. We both said off but would roll with whatever the decision was. The commishes should just make decisions and hand them down instead of pretending our votes count!

It also didn't help that all my passes in the 4th quarter were either dropped or overthrown by 5 yards -_-

Hahahaha, looks like Rors took things into his own hands when he decided to keep injuries on! Then he went George Bush on his explanation as the will of the league was to have them off! Not all of us are super elites who can play with scrubs!

Was just joking, I want to get my QB issues solved though before season start, but I don't think I want Garrard. If you can think of a good deal for him, send me an offer. I glanced around and didn't see anything that caught my eye.

i will turn the injuries off so long as it will allow those injured players to play in the coming weeks! otherwise, it's not fair that those people had to play with the threat of injury and we dont!

Whatever. Count the neutral votes as being in your favor. :lol

Anyway, when I made it I just kept default on. Dindn't even think about it, really. I would have thought FMT would decide by the night. IT's not that huge of a deal.


[edit]I'm not a commish, btw. Suck my dick. I can say that since I'm not a commish!

Just turn them off after this week. Even if the injured players do come back, they were out during some of the first weeks games so the people who played early were affected even if they get those players back next week. It's kind of shitty to punish people for playing their games early, no?

Those of us who didn't play yet shouldn't have to suffer since we were smart enough to not rush our games before final rules were established. :D

I didn't even know you created the league, and you declined a commish spot last year, and as you mention I guess your choice has carried over. Stop assuming everything is about you.

Whatever. Count the neutral votes as being in your favor.
