Madden NFL 12 Will Show Concussion Injuries, Won’t Show “Devastating” Hits

Madden NFL 12 is getting the player safety treatment. The extremely popular video game will show players being carted off the field after suffering concussions, and will also have announcers discussing the seriousness of said injuries.

It will also have less dangerous-looking hits. From the New York Times.

Player animations, now sophisticated enough to depict Peyton Manning’s throwing motion and Randy Moss’s gait, will not display helmet-to-helmet tackles, hits to the heads of defenseless players or dangerous headfirst tackling, said Phil Frazier, the executive producer of Madden 12.

NFL Blitz wouldn’t have let this happen.
