It was in the game before 2011. When I was a kid we were playing and someone was using the Texans. David Carr went out the game and it was noted as a “career ending concussion”.

This was 2003 or 2004.

Fair enough. I’m not a neurologist; I’m surprised that the concept of a “career ending” concussion existed in 2004 (at least as much as it would be noted in a video game licensed by the NFL - it was probably known in neurology circles, though).

I was thinking that at that point the sports establishment was still acting like a concussion was something you could just shake off.

1 concussion, sure

If guys had had a lot, it could be career ending. Troy Aikman who sits in Madden’s seat retired after his 10th concussion in 2000.

I read earlier that when EA first approached Madden it was supposed to be a 7 on 7 game.
