Voted no change.

But, I wouldn't be against lowering it during the preseason - as everyone is building up conditioning. Then when the regular season starts, place it back to the normal level.

I agree with VCR, I've already lost 1 or 2 star players with "season ending" injuries in the preseason. The only reason why I haven't put them in IR is the hope that maybe they'll come back later in the year when I'm fighting for a playoff spot.

Can we have a 2nd poll asking about changing the injury rate JUST for preseason, because I think a good majority of us would agree with that.

I kind of like this idea? IDK what effect it would have changing it in the Regular season. It's too late now let's try it next preseason...............................................................MM

I only see 1 player designated "out". He is a 34 year old DT in his 13th season.. That's not suprising. Defensive lineman do seem to have a longer lifespan than most. Most GM's will tell you that the older a player gets (over 9) they will experience more injuries. Really you can put on IR It won't cost you a roster spot but could get someone equal of better in the FA pool for much less money. It just might be his last hurrah? Any way you slice it your gonna pay that $7M + bonus money, but you could save $3M + in salary. You need roster room bc you don't have enough DB's. I know you have a plan BUT there are certain elements that you have to be in line with. Parts of this game do not lend themself to innovation (shall we say). The game is still in deveopement, simpy meanig that certain plays work better than others. no matter how smart you think you are youn won't change it. Player Attributes, age weight, height all factor in as well. so your boy DT Brewer despite being a #1 pick in 77 (I believe that was androwski's pick) has had an aveage career for a DT 51 sacks in 13 season his best Never did much in the post season. I don't believe this to be a case that was impacted on Injury rate, rather simple "old age" haha. I sure hope you can improve on that 0-3 preseason record. You must win 5 to avoid being fired......................................................................MM

This poll is closed. There will be no change in the injury rate. It will remain at 100. We can address lowering the injury rate for preseason.
