Injuries are one of the biggest season-breakers in Retro Bowl. A single injury to your quarterback or top receiver can change everything. The good news is that injuries are manageable when you plan for them. This Retro Bowl Injuries Guide explains prevention, recovery, and roster depth strategies.
Retro Bowl is a momentum game. If you lose one star, your offense slows down, your drives shorten, and your defense faces more possessions. That is why injuries often lead to losing streaks.
Training improves performance and development, while rehab protects availability. If your roster is young and healthy, training is often better. If injuries are constant, rehab becomes priority. The best franchises eventually level both for long-term stability.
Depth is insurance. Even a “good enough” backup makes injuries survivable. If you spend all resources on one superstar, your season becomes fragile.
When your roster is hurt, reduce risk. Use shorter passes, run the ball more, and take field goals. Your goal is to stay alive until your team is healthy again, not to force highlight plays.
Injuries are part of franchise mode. If you upgrade rehab, manage stamina, and keep depth, injuries stop being disasters and become just another challenge you can outplay.
