EA goes into more detail on their 'concussion' mechanic in Madden NFL 12

“We’re treating the injury more in line to how they do in the NFL. It’s not based on the Hit Stick, though. It’s based on the area of the collision. So you have to actually hit a guy in the head as part of a tackle for it to even be considered for a concussion, but causing a concussion in the game is rare. I’m not sure of the exact numbers, but there were over 25,000 plays called last season in the NFL, and out of all those plays there were only about 200 concussions. So in “Madden,” on any play, there is a .59 percent chance of a concussion happening. It’s a very rare injury and it will be rare in the game. We don’t have a mechanic in the game that causes a concussion. There’s nothing you can do to increase the likelihood of a concussion. We’re not going there.” - “Madden NFL 12″ producer Phil Frazier

Looks like those of you that were hoping to cause concussion after concussion are out of luck. I guess it’s more like the luck of the draw in this case…or perhaps, the unluck of the draw.
