Yes, let's spend lots of draft $$$ to get a once in a lifetime HOF player, train him for several seasons, prime time for a huge transfer sale, and the day he's listed, he "dies".

On a day where David Stern pulled a real dandy out of his bag of tricks, this one is right up there.


So no to realism, then?

We should also have the BB's sometimes block transfers if they feel it's not in the best interest of BB. We should also have managers die sometimes. That happens in real life too, right? How about arenas getting destroyed by natural disasters? Also let's have some economic recessions. Everyone who complains about lack of realism should be all for these.

yeah!

add some doping scandals and lawsuits (maybe like sexual harassement, breach of contract and so on) to the game! all for the sake of realism.

holla!

All of those bunch of reasons why are the same - "Scandal", "Death", etc. are all the same "Carreer-ending event".
Like two pointers could be described as a two-handed dunk, a mid-range shot, etc.
In this flash game it is not realy interesting what have happened, but what is the result.

The idea of "Carreer-ending event" is a very good one.
Users/BB-managers should be planing for unexpected events and to respond to one as fast as they can.
This is part of BB-managing, and this is why we are all part of this game - we want to experience the world of BB-managing.

Personally, I'm not quite sure what to think of this. I agree with you guys that yes, this would make the game much more realistic but if I had trained someone since they were 18 and then they "died" right before they were about to get on the NT, I think I'd be pissed. I'm not so sure about life ending injuries, but maybe they should add some discipline skill so to say, where the lower it is, the higher of a chance the player will get into trouble off the court. That way you would know exactly what you were getting into.

These things happen in real life, but it really does not suit this game. The downside of losing a great player for nothing, to retirement, out of random is too harsh.

Pini, you've got to pick what you want: more user-friendly or more realistic?
Because here, it's clearly not user-friendly...

I think you may not understand what the concept of user-friendly means...

It is like saying that the league-games (for example) are not user-freindly, because the user needs to know when fouls will be make, or something like that.
This feature suggested here is as much part of BB-managing as making lineups and defining what the game plan be.

This suggestion is to make the game more about BB-managing and that is what this game is all about.

This suggestion is not user friendly, it's not even Pini friendly.
