My opponent has committed 3 flagrant fouls in the first 16 minutes of the game and I have lost 3 players to injury. Why would BB be set up this way?

Is he playing at the "Crunch Time" level? Would that be the reason for such hard fouls? If any of the injuries are for more than 1 game, my team could be in serious trouble for this season.

I'm especially ticked because one of the injured is an 18 year old with perennial allstar potential and a starting salary over $4500. If I lose him for any period of time, I can effectively lose a development season on an excellent player.

I've enjoyed pretty much everything about BB up to this point, but this has me pretty frosted.

Unfortunately, this is all a part of the game, and just like real life, more than one player on the same team can get injured in the same game. BB isn't "set up this way", but you just had some really bad luck. By the end of the game, when you check your roster, all 3 might be healthy. Or two.

Someone could play "Take It Easy", and still commit a flagrant. My team has done it to another team. If they are playing Crunch Time, that could be a part of the reason, as they are playing harder. The Game Manual mentions it:

You can also tell your team to try harder in an important game (Crunch Time), although they'll need some time to recover over the next week or two. Alternatively, you can Take it Easy in a game so that your team will be able to play harder in the future.

As for the possibilities of your players being injured for a while, there's nothing you can do. I have also experienced having a trainee that got injured. In fact, he was injured for 2 weeks. The only way that I can say your player loses this season's training is if he gets a 3-5 week injury. And since it was a flagrant, worst-case scenario gives him a 2-week injury, in my experience.

BB isn't perfect, but neither is real life basketball. Bad things happen and we just have to adapt. It's a part of the game.

Don't worry Will Waite was okay As for your two older players though... ouch.

but it's true that most of the players get injured after a flagrant foul..

in my opinion there's something wrong in this..

i'm always scared when i see my players take a shoot and then get a foul :)

Only thing I can suggest is trying tough it out. Since you dont have your best player, i would play base offense for awhile ( share point the ball and the point production or fast pace offence to get more shots in games). Look to your bench and find someone. I had to that happen to me one time. I got my star player hurt and it was eye opener. I vowed to not be that vunerable again. I trained my backups to be good as the starters somewhat.

Good luck man

i have a sg who is prone to injuries as well. i think it comes from playing to many minutes, Im retiring him next year lol when i support.. he's had a good career, I would invest in a back up to replace him, becuase i had to do the same because the matters.

I think you will never know about injuries,I think the bottomline is how lucky you are.
I have played this game for 5 seasons,and I did have 3 injuries,2 players for 2 weeks and 1 for 3 weeks.
I did have many players injured for just 1 match,and the next game they could play again,maybe it has to do with your doc,try to buy a level 3 with speciality taping injuries,and than most of the time you will be OK..

Ever heard of Portland?

I know it sucks when it is you. I had a season where four of my five starters were injured for at least two weeks. Devastating. It was basically a whole season lost as well as a ton of money. But injuries here are mild compared to other games (NBA live you can lose guys for a season) or reality (not going to go through Portland's sad history).
