I haven't had quite as many players injured, but Herbert Jones has had horrible luck with injuries. Since the end of his 20yo season, he has been injured for 13 weeks (2-week injury then, 3-week injury which fortunately was healed during the offseason, 2 week injury when he was 21, 4 week injury at the beginning of this season + 2 week injury this season). That's almost a full season, and it really sucks because those injuries caused him to miss valuable weeks of pressure training.

Your dedication to patience is startling. I would have sold him.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

Haha. Well, he has 98 skill points and costs only $27k salary, so he's very cost-efficient, the more so for being home grown. And 9+ OD and 11+ passing on a power forward is expensive to buy. Also, he was the first player I drafted. So there are sentimental reasons for hanging on to him as well.

I understand. Very cost efficient. But if the injuries continue, he's not very cost efficient on the bench is he?

I have a favorite pair of shoes that are almost a decade old. The soles are worn and they have a few holes. But just because there are sentimental reasons for keeping them doesn't mean I should wear them outside in the snow ;)

I mean, if I actually thought he was more injury-prone than other players then I'd probably have to reconsider. But as far as I know there's no hidden "injury-prone" trait in Buzzerbeater, is there? I just assumed it was extraordinarily bad luck for one player, but that happens from time to time.

I was curious about that too and posted a suggestion about adding the ability to track injuries (either through bb or bbapi). The community seems to feel pretty strongly that there is not. (229077.1)

they're random, they seem to come in bunches and usually is followed by days of wondering why ive invested anytime in this game.

the bolded part... yes x1000.

As an aside... it's also absurd how injury prone players are in BB. Considering an entire year in their virtual life consists of only around 11(?) 70 minute weeks basically. Plus playoffs if applicable. Even more galling... most of those games you're telling the players to take it easy. And you aren't even training the majority of your team during games/ off-days either.

And I just picked up two more in game injuries in my last game. If I count in-game injuries my total for the season is twelve... I may actually be leaving one or two out, but I think I've got twelve. It can only get better from now on right?....... Right?

And how do you justify your behaviour?
