Again, I realize we don't have to mirror professional basketball exactly, but what professional team carries a roster of 5 players and what fanbase would support that? I'm not understanding the appeal of participating in a basketball simulation that allows these kinds of gimmicks. Why allow it?

And the other problem with only having 5 players is that if any foul out or get injured, you have "lucky fan" filling in. What's the appeal?

And I wasn't being critical of that approach. Small steps would be great. It's a worldwide game, so I can't expect to understand everyone's approach.

Booooooo!

I have 1757 players for sale and I'm $25,835,360 in debt. Buy them at outrageous prices, or be selfish and make me go bankrupt. You decide, BB.

My take on this would be that the minimum roster size should be 7 players. If a team has a 5 man roster, there's a chance 1 or 2 of them get injured, and then you're down to 3 players anyway. However, if a team with 7 players has 2 injuries, they'd still have 5 players.
