Are you serious?

I thought it was a known fact that NT games are Arcade, similar to PL.

You cannot put injured people on the field and people cannot get injured due to that game.


Under the Rosters section of the NT rules: (/BBWeb/rules.aspx?nav=NationalTeams)

Having your player on a national team will not affect his player ratings or weekly minutes in any way. However, he will be susceptible to injury, and you will not be able to fire him.


So, if it's a "known fact", that fact directly contradicts the rules.

Not only is it not a known fact, it's not even true)

Oh please give me the option to call back my player' then, because that is ridiculous.

I remember correctly that last year was a debate about the wages being compensated when a player was in the NT.

People did not get their wages refunded, because it simply was a pure arcade type of game. They did not get experience,minutes, rating or injuries. And that was the main argument of the BB for not refunding the wages.

People said fine, if it's pure arcade then why not. And so far it has been that way.

Either the rule should be corrected, or we should get the option to not let our players play for the NT. Or get experience and wages refunded. And we should get an apology from the BB' and the GM' for making me and other people who participated in that debate believe that the NT was a PL-Arcade kind of game.

In Riceball's defense, he and I can be both right. NT injuries could be all in arcade mode right now, and it might be well-established (I don't know everything)... that's why I started the thread.

Anyway, back to the point... anyone have any evidence of an NT injury lasting longer than the game?

So a BB said that? Maybe the bug is to fix the rules. In any case, something is inconsistent.

If there is indeed evidence that there is an injured player around due to an NT game, i would recommend the owner of that player start a debate on Wages and Experience and the option to allow the player to play for the NT.

Because it;s simply not worth it right now to let a player play for the NT, if it was indeed true.

If the GM' speak on behalf of the BB's, and i assume they do, yes.


Atleast 3 GM's said that there was no need for refund of wages and a bonus for Experience, because the games were Arcade based. They said they shouldn't reward the managers more than just bragging rights.

And i'm sure Juicepats was one of the GM' who participated in that debate, if that counts for anything.

:Edit: I slightly remember a BB being involved, not really sure though. Atleast we got convinced that it was okay to not get wages refunded.

I don't want to get this discussion sidetracked, but in general, GMs speak for themselves. If they're speaking for the BBs, they should be clear that they're speaking officially, and not as just a user.

I really hope Gm's refrain from speaking for themselves when the topic is concerning the game itself. I mean we are suppose to get clear and true information from the GM's of the game... kinda unprofessional, if they are not really sure themselves when they give their answer.


Anyways, i'm pretty sure it was official, otherwise i wouldn't have accepted the no refund/no experience deal.

There is most definitely experience awarded for playing in NT games. It's likely not more than you get from a league game, but the chance to get injured is not higher, either.

From what I remember, Juice is on the record saying that NT games are not played in arcade mode. But even so, GMs do not develop the game, so as knowledgeable as they are, their info is not first-hand and should be taken with a grain of salt, albeit small.
