DP Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 One of my concerns in FM09 was the lack of long term injuries. In my 20 season save at 3 different clubs I never saw an injury in my own team of 6 months or more. Couple this with the fact that in the entire game world I never saw an injury of more than 1 year, I think it might be a problem. In FM10 has this been looked at? I would like to see players out for a year with a broken leg (Eduardo) and for this to happen slightly more frequently. Has anyone got any stories of where they have had players out long term?

Neji Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Genuine question, how many 1 year injuries do you see IRL? IIRC Eduardo was out for nine months (or at least, that was the estimate). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockers Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Hmm, I can think of 3 really long term injuries from last season. Probably dont want to be happening too often, theres normally one or so a year but last year I can remember Hargreaves Eduardo and Bullard Apart from that cant think of too many others, probably coz my knowledge is mainly English!! Dont think Id be wishing for more long termers tho!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrofilipe.lourencosta Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Must of those over a year injuries happen because of recovery setbacks. I hope si doesn't bring that to the game, it has all the elements to get out of control. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DP Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Genuine question, how many 1 year injuries do you see IRL? IIRC Eduardo was out for nine months (or at least, that was the estimate). Well there's one that starts at the beggining of the game on the quick start, 13 months I think. I agree, it shouldn't be common but the game should at least be programmed to make it possible. I've honestly seen nothing above 6 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Again, I don't think Bullard was out for 1 year either. Hargreaves probably has been though. It should be possible if it happens. My point, probably not made clear, is that are these single injuries keeping players out for this long? Eduardo had injuries after his major one, which caused him to be out longer, but I think his main injury was 9 months or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DP Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 But it needs to be reflected in the game. So perhaps it should be that players suffer set backs? I don't think the game represents long term injuries well enough - however it's implemented - when there have been high profile examples over the last few seasons (Hargreaves, Eduardo, Rosicky, Bullard). Am sure there are plenty of others worldwide too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboFla Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Yeah there aren't enough long-term injuries in the game but hopefully it will be implemented into FM10z Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters76 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Genuine question, how many 1 year injuries do you see IRL? IIRC Eduardo was out for nine months (or at least, that was the estimate). Gary Neville was out from the mid 1950's until pre-season And Rosicky was out 18 months. You're right they are rare, but they do happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugster Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 So some of you are complaining about that the fact that in a 6 month demo you haven't seen players geting injured for over a year and all you can do is throw around 4 or 5 names IRL that have been out for a year.

Neji Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Again, I'm not convinced that Rosicky's was just one injury that kept him out, I could be wrong. It comes down to the way you deal with them. If you rush them back, they will likely pick up another injury. If you ease them back in, they probably won't. Maybe injuries should be more common in the recovery stages? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one injury keeping him out all that time, but he has had several minor injuries after his return. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGB_SPURS_FM09 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I'm not sure on this one... SI say they work with a company that analyses injuries and stuff and thats where they get their data from? And also every year people then complain that there are too many.. On my 09 Barcelona Save i had Bojan and Ibrahimoviv get injured for 6 months with torn calf muscles so there are definately occurances where there are a few long term injuries... I lost my entire strikerforce i had to play Messi and Pedro/Rochina upfront - was annoying but thats football! I just think this has the potential to increase the amount of complaints about injuries.. PS. From what i heard Rosicky was apparently out because of a drug addiction but Arsenal just said/pretended he was injured!? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan_sacfc Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 PS. From what i heard Rosicky was apparently out because of a drug addiction but Arsenal just said/pretended he was injured!?

adamdrfc Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I've had a couple of 8 month injuries... not ideal when they're your top scorer. In fact, I think it was Eduardo in 09 coming back from his injury, played a couple of games and ended up doing his knee ligaments, same thing happened again. Ended up selling him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarian Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I've seen double fractures that put the player out for 8 months in FM. I did see a 10 month injury once but can't remember what it was and it wasn't at my club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
