This may seem like just a small unnecessary detail to add, but it would be interesting to see suspensions added to the game. Suspensions could work similar to injuries, except the value of time would be measured in games not weeks. Whether it is for solely on court activity or for any variety of reasons, suspensions would add to the realism of this game. Players game shape, experience, and other characteristics could be factors in how they play their game. If they play a more physical game and they are inexperienced, then they could make a hot tempered move that could be cause for suspension. What do you guys think?

What if PR managers helped prevent suspensions? The higher level PR manager, the less chance of suspension.

I am slightly in favor of this, but if this were implemented, then some managers would complain that suspensions due to off-court activity are unfair. It's kind of like how a while back someone wanted technical fouls to be added, but that's another story.

I think that's where PR Managers could come into play. I know there a lot of people who don't think they do much. PR managers could get a specialty added that helps prevent off court suspensions, which would make them a little bit more relevant.

I think this would be a long shot to actually happen but it's an interesting idea.

Keep it Tru

But IRL people do get injured, the same way that players do get suspended. It's part of the game.

IRL their is no transfer market and they trade.
Trading is a bad idea for BB and so is Suspensions.

This could be a good idea. But, keep in mind that an NBA season is 82 games long. A BB season is 22 games. A 1 game suspension would be realistic and not overly punitive. Anything beyond that hurts your training development and your league standing too much. I would suggest also that the suspension is only served in a league or Cup game. If the suspension is earned in a League game, then they would miss the next League game. If the suspension is earned in a Cup game, then they would miss their next Cup game. Missing a scrimmage is not really punitive.

I would also suggest that a team only ever have one suspended player at a time. Realism is good, but let's not impede game play too much.
