It would be comforting to be able to insure your players against inj. maybe 5/10% of the salary per week. At least you could then invest with a bit more confidence and this could help stabilise transfer prices.

i totally disagree that these players are freaks, especially if other skills are not too low. players like Ikstens are really great (except for salary at the moment), and there are many teams with a lot of millions in their "banks" that can pay for these salaries for a long time. and you could afford players like Ikstens easily if you know how to train and sell right players.

and people think about their National Teams too :)

Okay. I see your point. In many cases of high salary guys on the TL I see the "almost useless" and rarely do I see the Latvian or Fanesi. Maybe the salary formula should be recalibrated so that values above 15 increase not to the power of the skill level but 15+some decimal value. For example 16 would be skill modifier to the 15.2 power. 17 would be skill modifier to the 15.4 power etc. That might bring salaries down.

Also best players being most harmful to their teams- see Terrell Owens, Lawrence Phillips, Stephon Marbury, Latrell Sprewell, etc... Different circumstances obviously (and a foray into real world vs BB world which we all know is a bit silly) but it is difficult to build coach-choking into the training engine so they make it purely financial...

That is a fantastic idea. I would also like to be able to pay a "no-foul" insurance, a "no-missed shot" insurance and a "no turnover" insurance.

chortle chortle....

So you dont think that major sports teams have insurance against players picking up injuries? or is this because you are yet to have a player worth insuring?

Certainly the latter. My boys are too tough for insurance. They routinely dig drainage ditches with their teeth and engage in ki-otoshi.

can I recommend teaching your boys the haimen zuke... when my boys are on the road in dodgy parts of the US this comes in useful so they can make it from the team bus to the court!

obviously (I'd have thought) I mean useless in being part of a successful franchise. Perhaps you can win BBB with one 200k salary player and seven others on 50k each, but I doubt it.

Like I understand- BB stars have bankrupted their teams?

not yet. but they will.

maybe in a couple of seasons, when their wages will be unaffordable.
