Can we add a torn ACL and out for a season? Maybe with some skill drops, as well.


I guess career ending injuries should be implemented for the sake of realism. You spend a lot of money to draft that magical 18yo hall of famer, train him for 7-8 seasons sacrificing your team, which is still stuck on division III, then when your guy is ready and is finally called by the national coach he gets an achiles tendon rupture and his career is over. It happens in real life, why not happen here too? That would add so much depth and realism to this game...

What I find hilarious is last week I hire a 6 level doctor with speciality, and yesterday I got injured my PF (and almost lost the match) withouth returning to the game for 16-32 days.

Yes, it is bad luck. Always has been.

Even the best doctor can't repair a torn ACL that quick!

Injuries are there to make the game more realistic. No worries, that's fine with me.
However, in reality, at least in somel European leagues, it's possible to recruit players in replacement on a a short-period contract, and to take out insurance to partially cover the possible difference in salary. But that doesn't exist on BB.
We could perhaps add paid but non-compulsory insurance to limit the deadweight loss due to the payment of the salary of an injured player.
In the end, there's only the bad side of reality on BB. We just have to cry when a player is out for some days or weeks.

This is a cool idea. It might never happen but the idea of insurance is very much in the spirit of the game.
