Summarize your bug Franchise Preseason Injuries not Carrying over to Regular Season
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start Franchise and simulate each week individually until start of Week 1 (Regular Season). Check for injuries. (Almost always, there will be an injured player on your team or your opponents teams). Start you Week 1 Regular Season game and you will notice those "injured" players are now healthy.
What happens when the bug occurs? Injured players become healthy and it completely takes the realism that everyone looks for, out of the game. It ruins this game.
What do you expect to see? I think this is very simple, but EA has not answered 1 of my tweets and/or 1 of my reports. The injuries should remain!

What is the AMD or Nvidia Model Number of your graphics card?
Enter RAM memory size in GB

This issue with preseason injuries disappearing has been ongoing for 4+ years and not 1 person at EA has batted an eye. Franchise Mode is supposed to be improved and blah blah blah, but here we have the smallest bug and not 1 person on the EA Sports or Madden team has noticed it or fixed it. It is most frustrating because there is dedicated players such as myself that stick with Madden because of how we are promised realism year in and year out. Guys, this cant be THAT hard...if you start a Franchise Mode and have a player on your team or your upcoming opponents team go down for 10 weeks, THEY SHOULD NOT BE HEALTHY AND PLAYING WEEK 1 OF REGULAR SEASON. This is getting ridiculous. I see everyone bashing EA and Madden on social media and I see why.

    • I started a franchise mode as a QB and kept the preexisting injuries setting on. My teams injury report shows all the injuries but is telling me none will return this season. Half of the players injury timeline will end before my season ends so I’m worried they will be healthy and i won’t be able to play them. For example, my starting TE is set to be out another 3 weeks and I’m only in week 5. He should be able to return but it’s telling me he won’t.

    I’m in a madden 21 classic franchise as a QB. When setting it up, i kept “preexisting injuries” ON. As you can see from the photo, i have multiple players that aren’t injured and can return but the game won’t activate them. What can i do to get them back?
