I don't mind the 1 week or even 2 week injuries....But I think the 4 week and 5 week injuries are silly. In real life the NBA is a 82 game marathon. BB, its a 22 game sprint. Last season I had a 5 week injury in my U-21 team and it killed me.
How about this....instead of weeks they could say GAMES...like a 3 game injury or something like that. Much better I think.

Thought the max was four weeks? I've never seen four injuries at the same time. Sure it's happened.

No, one of the guys in our league had a player pick up a +5 early in the season this year.

Yes...I have seen at least four 5 week injuries. I think those are complete BOOTY. I saw a great 211K NT big get retired because of a 5 week injury. I really think the MAX should be 10 games total including scrimmages/cup games and not including BB3 and PL league. That is why I think having a +game injury instead of a + week injury would be much better.

PS...here is the nasty info of that U-21 5 week injury....he(the owner of the player) said he had a level 5 doctor....now that would hurt. I think if you have a level 5 doctor, it shouldn't be possible to get a 5 week injury.

Puts some realism in the game.


Im with you on realism, but BB lacks realism in so many other areas why does it have to be real in this one?

If I have to deal with unrealistic out of position training, which is not changing anytime in near future if ever, why injuries? Randomness can be addressed in other ways. If we have injuries, lets change them. +5 weeks, or 4 injuries at time is not increasing play-ability.

Well if we use that logic we can change the game into something completely different all together.
And no it is definitely not increasing playability but i think it is such a rare case that you cant take it as a good example.


It's not real life so it can be the best of both. I can't count how many injuries ive had the last 5 seasons cause there's no easy way to track them. When they come they seem to be in bunches and are debilitating to the point they decide a season. 3 months of effort *flush*. I've always had a L6 or better doctor, until this last two weeks down to a L5. Looks like you pay a big price for trying to keep staff salaries in check.

Is it realistic, yeah. If thats the case, lets real up all the other aspects of the game that aren't real (fan behavior, training, game engine). Since that's not happening, remove or reduce injuries to the point they are workable. Last season so many of the B3 games were just the result of which team has fewer injuries. It makes the game random to the point its a crapshoot.

I balled that post. How about the 6'2 Centers in the game. I agree, why is it something negative that they try to keep real?
How about this one for GM-Manon
If we are talking about realism, I had a broken arm back in 96 and I went to work everyday. And my job wasn't sitting at a desk. The doctor told me 6 weeks but only had 10 days of sick pay. I had to suck it up and I wish my BB players would do the same.
