Serious Viral Infection

Has anyone ever have this in the game? One of my players have this and he is out for 7 to 8 months. What kind of a viral infection could hit you for8 months?

Doesn't matter what it is. There is no need to be specific. Go read up on Markus Babbel.

PS. It is the worst injury in the game, you can view them all in the editor.

AFAIK, it's the most polite way of covering the most serious of illnesses that can affect a person such as cancer. Out of interest, is it a real player who has it or a regen?

it's heartbreaking when a good youth prospect gets it as it tends to ruin them

I am playing with Reading and it is Simon Church. I was thinking viral infection like diarrhea. Didn't know it can be cancer. Thanks for the replies...

I'm gonna be the first to say it, AIDS. But what kind? Good AIDS or Bad AIDS?

A common one is where they get Hep A, B or C and that can also lead to liver failure.

A viral infection definitely wouldn't be a cancer, but can cause cancers. Like in the case of h pylori where you get an inflamed stomach, leading to ulcers and diarrhea and other nasties.

There's loads of viral infections like lyme disease, and chlamydia to ear infections.

Maybe he had Epstein Barr virus and it turned chronic!

"An organism under stress, be it physical or mental, or both tends to be immunosuppressed which means immunity is impaired. Endurance sport and strenuous training in many cases is the reason for an impaired immunity. This is a condition that gives room to viruses to spread and may be contained under normal conditions. Acute symptoms of an EBV infection are fever, flu-like symptoms, swollen liver, spleen, and / or lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly) reflecting an overstimulated immune response and immune system.

Under normal conditions this is a self-limiting process. If this is not the case, then a chronic disease may emerge with unspecific symptoms like tiredness, mood alterations, loss of appetite, sleep disturbances, slightly elevated body temperature etc. Also these symptoms are partly due to an imbalanced immune system. The chronic disease is mainly a low-grade systemic inflammatory process that stresses the body over several months. The chronic disease can also be a reactivation of the EBV during severe stress."

Or maybe not.

I thought they were represented in the game somehow. Do you know if they have their own injury name, or are they covered under another title?

Could be anything, a knee injury that causes a player to retire.

I had a 'serious viral infection' on one of my Arsenal youth players, George Brisen-Hall, way back when FM11 first came out

I suspect that the worst injury a striker can have, is the "Ronny Rosenthalitis when-clean-through" virus.

Symptoms are usually a momentary feeling of euphoria, followed by sudden depression.

Highly damaging to performance and can even lead to death (of a strikers career).

Poor Simon Church.

Malaria could put you out for that length of time if it wasn't treated early enough. The others I thought of off the top of my head have been covered.

Malaria, however, is not viral. It is actually a protozoa infection. Which means it isn't bacterial either.

I had one of my youngsters at Senglea Athletic (Maltese club) get Testicular Cancer the other day, out for 20 months

I'm not sure if that is a joke or not.

There is no such specific "injury" as testicular cancer - unless you're using an injury pack download.

Why would I joke about that? I will find you the ss if necessary.

Obviously I have an .edt file to enable me to play in Malta but I haven't downloaded any injury pack so the injuries must be included in the Malta edit file.

I just assumed this injury was in the game, with only newgens ever having it due to legal issues etc.

There are a set amount of injuries. 89 in total.

The most serious being damaged cruciate ligaments from a playing perspective, or a serious viral infection from a health perspective.

Of the internal injuries, none go into great detail:

However, there are a few injury packs floating around that you can download - with extra injuries and ailments added, no doubt with "testicular cancer" being included (for some reason...)

why the hell would you add cancer into the game?

What he said.

Actually I made a cruel joke about Man City and I retract it by replacing it with this text.

Well there are a few cases of it happening to real players but frankly that's realism I can live without.

playing it safe eh?

Yeh - better that way than a war breaking out and things getting heated

hey you would have had steverobbo on your side at least!!

Pffffffffffffffffft

Just to add another case here, to show that it doesn't even have to cover other illnesses to be realistic:

In 2000, Wieghorst was diagnosed with the Guillain-Barré syndrome, and following treatment he spent a year in recovery before returning to play in a November 2001 Scottish Cup game. He played three league games for Celtic late in the 2001–02 season, before he returned to Denmark.
