Not once did a player on my team get knocked out for a short period of time. I had three injuries that extended beyond the game they occurred in and I ended up placing all three on the IR. It was disappointing that there were no injuries that cost my players games otherwise. Also no concussions were witnessed through the entire season in user-controlled games. Meanwhile as evidenced by a few of the team images below the CPU was inflicted with short term injuries as well as severe ones.
At any given time the CPU teams appeared to have injured players on their reports to account for. For example Matt Stafford found himself on the IR. Placing a player on the IR now opens up a roster spot! They are active however on the free agency wire a few weeks below as examples. There were players on hot and cold streaks at times and ratings were supposedly adjusting due to performance but it would be difficult to quantify how that impacted results on the field.
Now that might be a good thing. No overalls changed in the first season…as far as I noticed anyway. Those changes came after the season was complete. As you can see by looking at the scores I found the default All-Pro setting to be challenging and to produce varied experiences. Several of the wins were of the comeback variety with two coming in overtime.
I also lost to some bad teams like the Panthers and Bengals. After jumping out to a halftime lead the win felt as though it was a foregone conclusion. I got ultra conservative on offense and dared Daniel to make plays through the air and he was able to do it. Then this happened:. My brother was watching this one as I played and we both were in complete shock.
Never did either of us comprehend an ending such as that would take place. It was reminiscent of the Jaguars hail mary win over the Texans last year. I may have lost but it was really satisfying at the same time to have played such as remarkable game.
It almost cost me the season too. That put me a game behind both the Jaguars and Colts at the time and I had to win those next two games against them to make the playoffs. In three sims to the Super Bowl the Patriots won it twice and the Seahawks won it the other time and by beating the Steelers.

It be nice to give the Cardinals an outdoor stadium, have the 91 falcons play outdoors, put the 99 seahawks in a dome, and put the eagles in a cookie cutter style stadium.
A common example is Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick, who had a number of highlight reel performances last year, mixed with games in which he looked rather ordinary. They have bad games, good games, and this carries over from week to week. Streak performances, good or bad, will be limited to three games before the player re-sets to his original ratings, to keep players out of distorted upward or downward spirals.
Consistency will be a new trait managed by Madden ratings and roster czar Donny Moore, and while talented rookies may enter the league with a low consistency rating, there is the potential for them to improve in successive years.
Veterans will be less likely to change. The next Madden will also expand rosters to 75 players , their pre-season limit, Looman said. This will create a deeper player-management experience in a couple of ways.
Armchair GMs will be evaluating prospective players on a week-by-week basis, unlocking portions of their ratings and attributes after each game, ultimately making a decision whether to keep or cut the player. This system of concealing and unlocking ratings is also how rookies will be scouted prior to the draft.
Expanded rosters also mean that Madden can include pure role players, such as Minnesota long snapper Cullen Loeffler , rather than leave them off the game's roster in favor of a skill position player who may be fighting to make the team. But the key solution expanded rosters provides will be in the game's injured reserve system, which diverged greatly from reality in past versions.
With a limit of 55 players, at most one or two injured players could be held out on reserve. Multiple injuries would require releasing players to the free agent pool to make room for replacements.
With an expanded roster and the expanded injured reserve list, not only are gamers spared from the choice of dumping players, they also gain the benefit of keeping replacements close by if they've performed well, once the injured player returns.
