are ridiculous!

It's only November and I think I've had every member of the first squad out for at least 2 weeks.

I have noticed a lot of people complaining about the high amount of injuries and red cards they are getting, yet I haven't noticed an increase in 07 from 06.

I'm about half way into a season and maybe two of my top stars have been out injured(Xabi Alonso for 3 weeks and Gerrard for a month) but other than that, there have only been a few little niggles and week long injuries amongst some of the lesser used players.

As for red cards, I have maybe had 4 players sent off through double yellows throughout the half-season, which is considerably less than what I was getting in 06.

I think overall(if it has been increased since 06) it makes it seem more realistic as nowadays you have players going down all the time(Cech AND Cudicini, for example).

change your training to be less intensive, and rest the players more after matches

im just using the basic training and dont play my players if they dont have more than 95% fitness...

at the moment i have 4 members of my starting 11 out with long term injuries (1 month+) and get new short term injuries every week.

The day Ianquita came back from a 2 month injury Bellamy fractured his ribs for 3 months :|

They're fixing it in the next patch.

It's ******* ridiculous indeed. What pisses me off are the constant injuries in the actual matches... oftentimes I'd have the substitute for an injured player get injured 5 minutes after he comes on.

And the defense is atrocious, everyone seems to make schoolboy mistakes at least once a match... and don't tell me to change my settings, I've listened to advice and played around with them. The frequency of stupidity needs to be fixed in the engine.

that's happened to me as well...

i'm just ******* around with this game to get a feel for it, any idea when the patch will be released so i can start a real game? because patches don't fix saved games, correct?

Two, three weeks?

I'm also playing around with Madrid just to get used to the new mechanics and tweaking tactics, because they're a bit different to what I was doing in 2006.

I'm playing as Notts County in League One during 08/09 chasing successive promotions where I suffered injuries to three first XI players. They suffered long-term injuries and during the time they're injured, I didn't win in seven disabling me from chasing second spot. Now I have to chase the playoffs spot. :(

Injuries aren't too bad. You do need strenght in numbers. I signed Nakamura for set pieces and he has only played roughly 11 games in 2 seasons. Not all my top players get injured, just people who are prone to it.

Oh f*ck me! Just when you thought you had all your strikers back, they get injured again. I had Kalezenga Lua Lua on loan, and he was injured for 3 months, so I terminated his loan. So I get a striker, Marc Elston on 3 months loan, and in his first game, he was injured and is out for 2 months. I kept him though.

To add bad news, I had Tcham N'Toya, who just returned and is very much in-form with 7 goals in 8 games, out for three months with ankle ligaments. Then I had Aaron Burns, a United forward on a season-long loan out for the season. Thank goodness that Shane Long is back to full fitness.

All of the above players are strikers/forwards by the way.

I loaned out Stephen Ireland to Hearts, then Sinclair and Trabelsi got injured within days for a month each... no more right wingers :( GAY, but I'll deal with it

A Liverpool fan playing with Man United?

Something smells :p

Can't give any feedback on the injuries, as I have racked up a total of 3 hours gameplay, with one single friendly played so far. Training in pre-season gave 4 or 5 <1 week injuries...

I've been having trouble with injuries too, but nothing spectacular... Kuyt, Hyypia, and Finnan are currently sidelined, but I believe I can deal with it...

I've been browsing the SI forums and it seems they are not acknowledging the matter? they say injuries are "realistic"? can anyone enlighten me?
