Madden 09 (PS2) Created Player: Injury Rating – Set It Low for a Durable Star

When creating a player in Madden NFL 09 on PS2, set Injury = Low (minimum). Here's why:

• High Injury → Your player gets hurt frequently, misses games, and wastes development XP.
• Low Injury → Stays healthy all season, accumulates XP, improves stats, and contributes every week.

Realism vs. Gameplay

Realism enthusiasts might argue high injury mimics real football, but gameplay-wise, low is strictly superior for a created star you want to develop. Durability equals progression. In a mode where every snap counts, keeping your guy on the field is the smartest strategic choice.
