How to deal with injury

There has been a lot of talk in the madden community about should injuries be "on" (allowed) at tournaments.        
The main argument on the side of the guys who say injuries should be turned off is that if an injury happens (and they always want to say if the guy is out for the game lol) is that the best player wont win if said injury happens. Im not going to stand here (or type here) and say what side is right or wrong, but I do like injuries to be on. But I do want to help you cope with injuries.

1. Plan ahead 
Head into practice mode and see what your back ups can and cant do.
When typing this post (july 25th) using the atlanta falcons I know that if Turner gets hurt I can plug in Jason Snelling (baby turner lol) and he can do almost the same things running and he can do even more in catching the ball.

If Norwood gets hurt theres another back A. Smith who is slower (92-93 speed to Norwoods 95) but can step in and do the same job.

Now as far as QBs are concerned learn how fast the back up gets rid of the ball when he throws (90% of the time it will be slower). Learn what throws he can and cant make....REMEMBER THEM!!!!!

Same thing goes for defense. Learn who can do what, and if they have to come in as a starting role (god forbid lol) play to their strengths......

Just like in real life, im sure some guys reading have played high school ball. Well think about when a player got hurt, try to remember what the coach did as far as playcalling. If he was a good coach he would have made the play calls simpler to help the in coming player do his job. The kid has enough to worry about in stepping into a role he wasnt prepared for, dont overload the kid.....same thing works for madden, figuratively of course. Play to the guys strength 


2. Dont overload the player
Now I said before to lean what your guy can and cant do......That still stands but take that and ask your guy to do slightly less than what he is capable of doing. This is true especially for QBs.

Now I know so and so can throw a decent corner route but that route will be on the list (for me) of routes that I will rarely throw. Why? because he is just barely throwing it well. That means there is a high chance in game that he wont be able to throw it well (or as good)

So I will implement a shorter passing game.....And this comes with knowing lots of the X's and O's of football. If you know a lot, you will be able to flow easier into new offenses.

3. Try to avoid big hits
Simple enough......lol
Maybe next time you are near the sideline you might step out of bounds instead of fighting for that extra half yard (when you already have a 1st down)

4. Stay in the green
Fatigue effects fumbles, drops,QB accuracy ,and yes INJURIES
So when that guy gets close to that red get him the hell out the game. Does he need to stay green? no.

But when he is in that orange range(mid-dark) get him out the game if possible.

SO these are a few ways to help cope with or prevent injuries......What do you guys think, leave it in the comments

Colonel OUT!!!!!!
