I really did drink a bit too much (thanks BB!) but I distinctly remember thinking Pacquiao was winning.
But I had a pretty healthy bet riding on Mayweather, haha. That gets me all melodramatic.

I'm glad you won your money, but tile max got your real money haha:

I wish Mayweather's style of boxing wouldn't be rewarded though. Grabbing/holding/retreating & doing no damage. (probably saves the doing damage for all the women he hits, zing)

Tough luck, Peluin. I put my lineup in, but when putting my team together this off season, somehow I decided that I wasn't that interested in rebounding anymore, ha. I will try to rectify that before it is too late. In this league though, it could already be too late.

As for the fight, I respect Mayweather's fighting style, which is basically avoiding a fight, but not sure why I would pay $100 to see it.

My center Vincent Gautier was hit with a 2 week injury on May 12th. I thought at latest he would return 21 days later, which would have been for yesterday's game on June 2nd. Now it is June 3rd and he is still injured.

Considering I thought a two week injury lasts anywhere from 14 to at most, 20 days, I'm not sure if this is a glitch, or maybe the powers that be tweaked the injury stuff a little bit.

Anybody have any thoughts here for me?

Last season I had a player out for 2 weeks and it took 28 days for him to get back into the lineup. The game needs a more accurate time table for injuries IMO...

Thanks for the response ... seems the game is either glitching all over the place, or more likely, the conventional wisdom on injuries is now wrong. Or I have been misinformed the entire time, ha.

If it was up to me, I would eliminate injuries altogether, but I remember seeing a vote on it a while ago, and I think I am in the minority on that opinion.

Injuries are part of any sport , I just feel that the length of time should be more accurate. 2 weeks is 14 days not 28 as in my case last season with a key player. I am sure other managers have had this happen to them as well. Hopefully down the line the BB GODS will fix this issue.

I wouldn't mind getting rid of it altogether either. Even though it's a sports game, it's still a game.

Since they want to make it more realistic, I don't really have a problem with injuries, but agree that the estimation is god awful. I understand that in the real world injuries can take longer to heal than initially predicted, but as a game I'd like for them to give us exact time frames (includes the arena expansions).

If that's too much to ask, then I think that if they simply switched from "weeks" to "days" that would help it. When it's been 2 weeks (for a 2-week injury) and it still says he'll be out for 1 week it's annoying, because it could be 1 day or another full week, we really have no idea. I think that if they timed it like the arena expansions (by days remaining), it would at least give us a better estimate of when we can count on a player, even if it says "9 days remaining" for 3 days straight heeheheh

We were just talking about the pain it is when a player gets injured and not long after I noticed that Hoosier ( Anchorage Allstars) had a player with a 5-week injury

That's too much, that's basically half the season, if it happens to one of your main players that's either a wasted season or you gotta sell and likely lose some money. 2 weeks is OK (even though comes out to be 4-6 games), but there should not be any longer

I know that in real life players may miss half or even a full season, but to make the game interesting, they should limit or get rid of these. Big issue when you get up to the higher leagues

Yep, I had to just move him and replace him. Not much you can do about it at that point. But if I hadn't dropped down with a decent amount of cash that I could do that, my whole season would have been shot. Could have managed a two week injury but I would have been dead in the playoffs if I didn't have the means to get anyone else with a 5 week.

Injuries wrecked my season. Two players with well over 100 tsp down for about 3 weeks and a standout reserve for similar. The problem with long term injuries is how much real life time it takes. I lost this season to injuries and it cost me 3-4 months of real time. We'll see if I am still interested in winning this league next season or not.
