What do you guys think - should teams have the option to put players on injury reserve if they incur an injury for 2 weeks ++. While on injury reserve the team doesn't pay the salary of the player, thereby saving money, however the player can't get any training say in stamina and so forth, and maybe BB could have his stamina and game shape suffer as well. This way it is the team's option to do what is best in its own interest.

Perhaps, some variations of the above could work??

Then the team should also be charged with medical bills as well then, with the possibility of having your player go for an operation and stuff, and maybe reoccurring injuries...

Or maybe you should be able to buy an insurance for the whole team before the start of the season? This insurance would depend on the salaries so it wouldn't mess with the lower division managers (like me), and wouldn't be too cheap for the top teams.

The buying of insurance should be optional. If an injury were to occur during the season, the insurance company would pay the cost of the possible hospital bills + the salary for the player for the time he's away. And if you don't want to buy the insurance, and your player breaks his leg and is out for 3 weeks, well too bad!!

This would be like gambling. One season you might pay for nothing and the next season you might save a fortune.

Which professional sports league gives you this same option EE? ;)

The buying insurance idea seems interesting.

The insurance idea is good. It'll add even more depth to the game.

I got the idea from the NHL - although their long-term injuries means > 2 weeks and once on the IR salary does not count against the cap. What I propose is to defray the salary for the amount of time the player is on IR. But this is just that an idea, a proposal, might not lead anywhere or it might. I have to agree the insurance is interesting - I haven't thought about that.

Wouldn't this negate the need of having a doctor? I think a lot of people would still gamble of not taking the insurance. Perhaps there should be a 10% (or any lowish procentage) refunded while the player is injured. I think the injuries present a good natural TL oportunities. Some teams need to sell in order to compete and some teams find those bargain players and are able to wait until they heal. With 100% of salary refund, there is actually no downside to injuries (you can replace that salary demand with another player or even sell the player and suffer no GS loss, or just make moneytary profite while players are injured etc).

The idea of an insurance is nice.
Another decision to take for the BB manager is always a good one (as far as I can see this).
Especially that in the first divisions there are even fewer than in the lower leagues (which is absurd...).

Of course the insurance money should be proprotional to the salary it covers (and maybe the league as wel... higher league pays more for insurance), and oc course this amount needs to be significant.

I would prefer if it's like the drafts, where there is a certain amount you have to pay per player. This way, if someone hires a good doctor, they can rely less on insurance, while those with basic doctors can invest more just in case.
