Nice addition!

Injury status / severity is delayed instead of immediate for more suspense and realism

This is huge.

I don't see how suspense and realism were ever sacrificed in the past in exchange for a futuristic approach. You want the drama of not knowing whether or not your star player is going to make a return. Great decision.

The whole blog is fantastic. Common sense and a grasp of what makes NFL football great seem to be prevailing with every Madden 10 revelation.

Yeah, really . Arguably one of the biggest factors in football and somene sees fit to downplay it? Wow!

Question though: unless I missed it, I wonder does this carry over game to game? For example, the blog talks about the decisions that have to be made as far as putting the player back in the same game. If the injured player is healthy enough to play but still injured, does this carry over to the next game? Like will he still have the bruised ribs and run the risk of re-injuring himself even though it's a new week?

Yeah, this is what I thought as well.

I love this blog.

Like a lot of stuff including...Real Time Injuries!!!!!!!. We need to knock this out of the park with a franchise blog next week. Had some question but they've been asked in this thread already so, I'll wait or bring them back up at a later time.
