No good things happen by surprise in BB.

My team is quite good for its level, so I expect to win and a loss is a downer. Even the one time I expected/planned on losing, I won (on the road, playing TIE versus CT) and thereby didn't play a game 3 in the finals and missed out on a fine payday.

I hope for pops, and when they didn't happen, it is unpleasant bit of news.

Injuries are, of course, the worst. They knock out training, the part of the game I like the most. They 'expected' duration of the injury is always longer than the forecast, so that's crappy bad news, too.

I think this is a bad situation for BB, that is, no serendipity ever occurs (yes, lousy teams pull upsets, but I don't care about that).

I have some ideas about goo0d luck, but quite frankly I don't expect to be playing after this weekend, so I 'm not going to mention them.

i think your expectations are far too high:

- There is no random in training (as far as I know). If your player does not pop it is because he was not meant to... are you overestimating the training speed?
- Injuries are not fun, I agree. But by now you should know that a +2 injury means a healing time >2 and <3 weeks. Be happy if it is less than 2.5 weeks :)
- If you are still upset because you won PO final 2... what would have you done if you lost the conference final in this way (4107330)?

Good luck finding a better online game.

I understand everything you say, in fact, all you did was restate my post.

My point isn't about understanding the game, it is that there no good surprises.

we can only hope for pops every other week. If it goes to three, that's a disappointment.

I know how long injuries take. My point is that it is always circa 2.5 weeks, never 1.5. That means it is always bad news, never good.

As others pointed out, I was promoting no matter what. The only good thing would have been a payday, that didn't happen, that's more bad news.

Understand now?

My recreation isn't limited to online games. I'll likely increase my time on board wargaming and photography, for example.

Allow Newton to share also my experience with you and add to your comments... I play this game 3 season now, and how always happen from the 12 players you have playing in a match, always your best will be injured!!! it is my third season as I said and my third player injured... different each time, always in the begining of the season. And each time it took them to heal 1 or 2 weeks extra time then initialy noted!!! even if when I hired the highest doctor with 9 level... I wanted to heal my best PG he was also playing in NT, I spent all my money on him it took me two season to recover, and this " bad luck " continue to happen.

You lose all your fun and interest in the game, it is not fair... they say 2 weeks to heal, it takes 3 to 3.5 weeks where in every week you loose 2 league games, and 1 cup game if you are lucky enough and still playing in the cup !!!

Very bad tactics : Zone 2-3 against a Run & Gun. And he even doesn't Crunches this very important game. The defeat is everything but a surprise.


Me, I got a pleasant surprise yesterday. I had planned the extension of my arena and thought it would never be ready for my next game and it finally took one day less than planned :-)

I tried to give you a polite answer... apparently it was not enough.

I really don't like your attitude... what you say is truth and what I say is obvious... if all happens in bb never cheers you up I wonder why you are still playing.

Here is a list of good surprises for me:
- being able to give almost full training to 6 players (on two positions).
- my top players playing a hell of a game (like today Zanoncini against a $44k salary player)
- pops in secondary skills
- good team rating (3 respectables today playing on the road)
- guessing the right tactics in tight games
- being lucky with an easy game in the national tournament
- no injuries before an important game

doctors don't speed up the healing process.

From the rules (recently updated):
Doctors help prevent player injuries, and when injuries do occur having a good doctor will make them less severe.
