Thread: PFL: Injuries in Games Poll

This poll is for league members only. Please don't vote if you aren't in the PGL Madden League.

We will be allowing people to play with people who are injured this year. But, there's been some discussion as to whether we should play with in-game injuries ON so that there's some risk of losing a player for a few series or even a half a game or so.

So, the options are:

1) Turn injuries off completely for each game.
2) Turn injuries on in-game.
3) I don't care.

I also want to point out that not all of our games get completed normally. Often a game loses connection, so you have to restart from a reasonable point. Turning on injuries raises a potential question of whether you would get the guy back on the restart. So please, answer the poll, then state whether you think you should get the guy back on a restart (or half-game).

I think we should allow the player back in the game in the event a game, half or quarter has to restart. Anything else would be too complicated for my tastes.

It's not that I'm voting FOR on... I'm just voting AGAINST off. I also agree with Quosef; it'd be too much of a pain to mess with the depth chart after an injury/game restart. I know nobody here would pull the plug on a game just b/c somebody got hurt, which would be the only thing we'd have to worry about.

This does not have to be any more complicated than accept the defaults at game start. That is how it was done last year.

And also, no swearing!

I voted for on... (duh)


And - I'm all for you getting the guy back on a restart... I'm sure we don't have plug-pullers here.

NOW - if someone does lose their key players - and consistently also loses their connection after losing a player, well, then I think they'll be up for a spanking from Peench.

Geez, I just voted for injuries on and I have McNabb, what was I thinking?!?!?

Yea, to ease confusion you should get the player back on a restart. Good thinking Quo!

Shit, if I can't sweat I may as well be outta the tourney now!!

Oh yeah and when I lose a player or someones scores on me, expect some "disconnects." When we restart the score goes back to zero right??

If you are getting injured while playing a video game... You're playing it wrong.

Sweat????


Man - I don't even wanna know what you're doing over there when you're playing then....

Honestly I don't really care. I was leaning towards on, but every game I've played so far (well, that only makes 2) has had a lot of injuries in them. Seems a little unrealistic to me.

In the event of a restart, just refresh everything. We're not plug-pullers.

Oh man, one little letter changes the meaning entirely. Allow me to correct that:

"swear"

haha I thought this was a post about injuries that you have sustained personally while gaming...

Yes...I can even manage to get hurt playing a video game...I still think that inanimate objects will get out of my way.

You can't turn fumble off, and even if you could, most people(including myself) would prefer to leave them on.

Killa's joking. Relax there killa. You got your word in bro. I don't know why it's not posting up immediately.

Looks like we're going with in-game injuries ON. As far as using injured players, we've already determined to allow use of your entire roster at the start of each game. You may have to re-order your roster because EA will place injured players at the bottom of depth charts when they are injured. So make it a point to take a look at the current rosters before each game. It's up to individuals to make sure that their players are available.
