I agree with you hipcat 100%! Why could there not be a backup to fill in when someone gets injured. Also, why aren't we notified? We are notified of training progress so why not injuries. I will be going out of town and won't have access to a computer period. So how am i supposed to check and see if my guys are healthy? I am a good manager. I log on every day. I check my roster daily but i will not be able to for a week. So should I lose a game because one of my guys gets hurt, I can't log in to check then my roster gets scrambled? No. I should not lose due to the fact that i could not log in.

I'd like to comment on the posts I've seen here.

I agree that the training/injuries on Friday really stinks. The idea that a whole side of the lineups is randomized simply because a TE2 is out is absurd. In response to Adam, I'd like to point out that when a player gets injured in a game in IN THE NFL, the player replacing that player is 90% of the time the next player on the depth chart at that position. This makes sense since NFL teams rarely have more than 4 active players at any single position (with 2 starting) and no more than 7 active on say the entire defensive line.

I don't think we can ever look forward to backups because the developers have put "depth charts" (of which backup positions are a kind) on the denied list. Obviously I've always been in favor of depth charts ever since I saw DR's system which works wonders. We'll see if the developers change their minds.

That being said, something needs to be changed. Unlike what Adam said, the ability to change lineups on Friday is not an award for activity. There are plenty of people I know that don't normally log in on Fridays but are online for more time during the rest of the week than anyone else I know. If they get shafted with a injury lineup, it's not because inactivity, it's because they got shafted.

I agree it'd be very nice to have a depth chart. I'd love to hear the admins reasoning for putting it on the denied list, it seems like something so basic for any football game...I can't think of any reason not to have it other than it might be a pain in the butt to implement for him.

Also I just found out about not being able to make tactic changes on Saturday the hard way. I logged in about an hour before my league game to find my kicker injured, and unfortunately was unable to replace him despite being able to catch it before the game
