Madden 2010 revamps injuries

[o-BacklasH-o]

Taking your Madden NFL experience even closer to what you see on Sunday, Madden NFL 10 has a revised injury system, changing the way you approach in-game injuries. We're not talking about you getting injured while playing, like straining a thumb ligament on the d-pad or pulling a hamstring from celebrating too much. We're talking about your players getting injured within the confines of a Madden NFL 10 game.

 

Just like in a real game, you won't know the status of an injury right away. When you see a player limping around or acting injured in other ways, you'll have to call out the trainers, who will come out with all-new animations, to take a look at him. Coaches have always said that players can play hurt, but they can't play injured. Once your player is examined, you'll have to decide whether he can tough it out, or if he risks even greater injury.

 

If you decide to let him keep playing, his rating will be negatively affected, based on the severity of the injury. Plus, he'll run the risk of making the injury worse. The system has been retooled to follow the logical consequences of players continuing with injuries.

 

For even more realism, injuries occur more often on special teams plays because everybody's moving at top speed. An injury slider was also added so that you can tune the injury risk to your liking. And nearly every single injury type was recreated to replace unrealistic injuries like "bursitis," "dehydration" and "Cat-Scratch Fever." To top it off, the injury cart will roll out when your player needs a ride into the locker room!

 

So make sure you stretch properly before each game, and, barring some injury, we'll bring you more Madden news next Monday.
