(Poll) Preseason vote

[irabowman]

22 team managers & only 9 have answered. This is something I wish every manager would vote on one way or other. If voting ends and your not happy with results remember you could of made difference for it or against it.

I have abstained from voting unless required, because I'm okay with whatever option the majority decides to go with. Injuries on, or off, either way the playing field is even for all.

"I was for as much realism as possible, till the Staff Draft was added to Front Office Football.

I think they should add a staff draft to the NFL.. LOL

I'm cool with whatever but voted for the condensed preseason with injuries off. I would rather have to deal with a couple rusty players my first week than have injuries to deal with. The only benefit to injuries in preseason is that sometimes it enables you to keep a player by putting them on IR instead of having to cut them.

I also voted for injuries off.. Off season is arguably the most important portion of this game and why we play it. It's where we look at the future play makers of the team..bid on new players for the team to help build a dynasty. Imagine if that gets wiped away because of Preseason...we're talkin about practice! Practice!

Wish the NFL thought that way is some ways..

Jim should really think about making it possible to fire a coach any time during the season so we can have a Black Monday (or whatever its called). Changing coaches midseason should be a factor. Plus bring back renegs during the regular season. We can only renegotiate contracts of holdouts in regular season now? How does that even make it fair for the other fake players/owners.

On another note, Harrison Ford was a player drafted in my other league.

Few more votes and we are good to go! Seems that the decision is obvious at this point though.

I know I'm brand new to this, but my opinion is that we play this game for a realistic simulator to being a GM for a football team. The idea of turning off injuries in preseason goes completely against that. It really sucks when a player goes down in preseason, but that's just part of football. I think that the challenge is putting together a deep enough roster that even if a star goes down, your team shouldn't be ruined. I'm really against turning off injuries for preseason, and I'm pretty bummed to see where the voting currently lies.

With there being a single point of the preseason that reveals all players to be one way or another, I'm for injuries off. Preseason in FOF isn't what it is in real life. If in FOF there was a player ratings reveal (not development related) after every game, I would agree with you on this, but since it's a static event after week 2 of the preseason, I say turn them off and sim around it.

PS: I also wouldn't mind injuries off for Preseason 1&2 with a quick sim of those two weeks. Then injuries on for separate sims of week 3, 4 and 5 for the only reason to adjust my playing time to remove offseason rust.

Preseason in the NFL and preseason in FOF are completely 2 different things. In the NFL you start out with 90 players. Then down to 75 the day before the last preseason game. You also control who is playing and who isn't in game. If you give me 75 players and a chance to actually set who plays and for how many series or plays then maybe I will consider it somewhat as a realistic simulator.

When I have 60 guys and have to place my best 14 inactive and pray I don't lose anyone else because I can't control who subs in and out that's not fun for anyone.

This is actually a good middle ground, I like it.

Poll will be closed with the last game of the regular season. With 8 managers yet to vote, this could go anywhere.
