This is way better than that (to put it mildly) idiotic idea of the "The Game-Day Preparation Feature".

Just sayin'....

I like the insurance concept. But insurance companies in real life price insurance to make a profit. I believe the cost of insurance is priced to spread the likelihood of a loss across the periods that the loss is likely to happen. In other words, if a team were to always buy insurance every year, they'd be losing money across all years combined by buying insurance compared to the amount of money recovered from insurance claim payouts.

I'm not saying it has to work that way in BB. But I think any insurance system in BB that was a guaranteed way to make money over the long term would be an odd 'insurance' concept.

I think the odds of sustaining a multi week injury is much larger than 1%.

So logically, nobody should buy such insurance therefore it shouldn't be implemented to the game.

Basically, you are asking for free money to the managers.

Yes, GM-Manon correctly deciphered my gibberish.
