Hey guys i just had a quick question on my players and my doctor. My team has had 3 injuries in the past 3 or 4 games and it looks like this now:

Missing Starting SG: 3 weeks
Missing Starting SF: 2 weeks
Missing Backup SF: 1 week

does mean that i need to get a better doctor because injuries are happening to often or is it just bad luck at the moment? I have a level 1 doctor because i didnt think it was worth getting a good one but i dunno after these past few games..

I'm not going to say that you shouldn't get a better doc or that having a better doc wouldn't have helped, but I think you have a clear case of bad luck. I've been playing since season 17 and I've have exactly one injury in all that time and it was for one game, and I've got the same doc today that my team had when I took it over.

I do believe that I've read on here before that injuries are complete random. But someone also told me that abusing your guys by playing them way too many minutes in a week could lead to more injuries, too.

I'm still pretty new to BB, so please take my comment for the uneducated opinion that it is.

Both. Try to get a level 3 (higher the better, of course; level 1 is not good) doctor with a speciality.

Good luck man, you need it.

I don't think minutes have anything to do with injuris. It's just way too random to determine anything.

More minutes = More oppurtunity for injury.

I'm pretty sure he could get a basic doctor with a speciality and it'd be just as effective. Specialities don't change with level so it'd be helpful and keep some money in your wallet/bank.

Edited:D.III and above my need a level 3 doctor but a basic with taping injuries speciality is good for D.IV and V managers.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about basic doctors. I thought only level 2 and above have specialities.

it is a bit of both, with a better doctor it would be very likely that your backup sf just missed the rest of the game.

Even the starting SF should have a chanche to survive.

i just can give you the table of the old doctor system, i believe they keep it roughly the same but you have to double up staff level now(so level 5= level 10 there)

(40900.10)

But i also think that not investing in a better doctor, and buying replacements when someone injured is economical better atm for you.(as long hong isn't injured)

It's probably both. I have an advanced doctor and I have never had an injury for more than one game.
Both specialties of doctors are useful. Massage really helps if you have minutes issues and taping injuries helps preventing injuries. I believe it's better to have a doctor above level1 but massage is an extremely useful thing, so in my opinion it is better to have a doctor about level 3 who has massage.
