There used to be 7 week injuries. 3 weeks is unlucky, but injuries have been reduced over time and there are so many opportunities to reduce the impact and likelihood of injuries in BB. I don't see how giving managers a more precise timeline is "painful" or "obnoxious".
If it's not a bug I'm quitting the game.
This is both childish and toxic. If that is how you deal with minor inconveniences in BB, I'm surprised you have already stuck around for 11 seasons already. I am hoping this was just a rage-filled instant reaction and not how you actually plan to proceed with your BB experience.
I have 30+ seasons of BB. I play intermitently since season 2. I played in Brazil National League for 10+ seasons, I won Brazil Cup and I was Brazil U21 coach. Ok, this was a long time ago, the time of the absurd 7 week injuries, but I guess it still counts as BB experience.
If you pay attention to what I wrote, I was reffering to injuries as painful and obnoxious, not to the new "more precise" feature of substituting "3 weeks" for "16 to 31 days". I said that the "more precise" new way of telling how long the injury would last added more outrage to what was already outrageous, since now instead of "3 weeks" it basically says "from 2.5 weeks to f***ing 4.5 weeks". Even if in the end the recovery time hasn't changed, the "hey, it's not for incompetence, it's not for lack of merit, you have just been randomly screwed because someone thought it was a good idea to screw managers" message has been amplified.
I don't consider injuries minor inconveniences. Injuries have potential to cause major disruptions. They can destroy entire seasons and ruin teams finances to the point of non-recovery.
Training facilities and doctors are extremely expensive, you pay millions to get minimal advantages. They have extremely low cost-effectiveness and only exist to suck money out of the economy. Like you pay 1 million plus weekly costs and then your player gets injured and instead of 25 days he gets 22 days out plus 2-3 weeks to recover the game shape. The deal of the century. If it's a key player and you had ambitions, your season is thrown in the garbage. Not because you did something but just for the sake of being screwed randomly. You need to really
love this game to not quit after this happens.
I might have been childish and toxic but I really don't care. I love this game and consider it the best game I've ever played, but everytime I'll get a player who gets injured harshly like that I'll come here and complain.
