This is a confusing announcement. You're talking about exhaustion and training minutes at the same time, and neither gets enough clarity.

Is exhaustion affecting only 27+ players?
Do only 27+ players need 40 minutes to get full training?
What is exhaustion? Is it gradual, is it sudden?

As a few others have mentioned already, this makes the best players (in terms of salary) even less desirable. Isn't it time to think about something like a salary cap for players? This will increase the price of those players, benefitting the managers who've spent years training them. And at the same time allow those players to be included in more rosters.

short roster teams kill the competition and need to be changed!

What kills the competition is the high salaries that makes people go with short rosters to make it viable financially and competitive.

no one does that in real life

Maybe you aren't following that much real basketball, Barcelona can easily dress 2 Euroleague teams with their roster. Many other teams are loaded with top players or top reserves, Real Madrid, Efes, Milano to mention a few. Olympiakos has Quincy Acy on their roster even though they are sparingly using him (something which emphasizes the fact that coaches want multiple solutions to be there available for them) In real life you will DEFINITELY NOT SEE teams with 5 stars with 1 or 2 semi-reliable reserves and then 3-4 yoyos that are like division c or d in real life terms

Sorry to our non-European managers that I brought comparison from the European competition (that might not be aware of the teams and the names that I mention), but buzzer resembles that model with the local competition, the cup games and the top level competition (Euroleague) rather than the NBA.

I like exhaustion feature. All basketball clubs in RL needs at least 8-9 good players for roster. Buzzerbeater 5 players roster is not RL basketball friendly at all. This was always my biggest complaint in BB. Im glad that BB trying to do something against that and our game will be more like real basketball games! Way to go BB!

Even in NBA that is not true, you can make the case during the playoffs when most of the teams really use only 7/8 players, but in regular season nobody does that unless if you're Thibodeau and your goal is ending the player's career

But the financial aspect is a problem. For example if a teams need to buy bench players to compete at the highest level and because of the salaries they do something like sell a 150k starter to buy a 100k starter + 50k bench (let's assume that the salaries matches their skillset) it's just don't make any sense the best overall player became a liability.

Maybe with this new approach would be interesting monetize the cup games, I don't watch european basketball but I imagine that Real Madrid don't giveaway their tickets income to charity

Something really needs to be made

Yes, train more carefully.
