lmao thats too hilarious hahhahaha so true

totally agree with you.

this is one of the craziest idea ... why would you want to lose players to injury forever doesn't make sense to me.

yes it would make it more real but i'd rather have it the other way around. meaning that i would rather not see career ending injuries in real life than to have them here as well.

it's just a game and it is complicated enough as it is. i think future features should be invested in usability and looks, not complexity.

cheers and happy new year!

totally agree with you.

You may also prefer that your player will stay healthy through out any game...

The life of a BB-manager is that players get injured.
Some will return after few minutes, some will return after few games, and a small bunch will never return to play baketball.
In addition to that, injury may change the abilities and skills of players.

Who prefers to play eBay-game, got into the wrong site.

Sorry realistic or not this is a bad idea. The thing is that this is a very slow and long term game. If you are playing NBA2k11 for a couple of hours and your best player randomly died that woud be annoying but you could start a new game. For the typical user here who may have been playing for a year if they log on one day and see their best player randomly died they would probably quit the game and not return. There are things that can be realistic but would destroy the fun for everyone and BB should never have. Deaths, perminant injuries and lockouts are three.

yes, as a matter of fact i would prefer that players don't get injured during a game as it can shape the result completely and blow your entire game plan. but i'm ok with that .. a little bit of luck (or bad luck in most cases) is a nice addition.

however, development of players is a much too important part of the game to leave it all to chance. you can't expect me to be very happy when my 4 seasons trainee goes down with a career ending injury.

you basically take all my 1 year of bb play and throw it down the toilet .. for no reason. i mean i don't even get any money for selling that player.

this idea would cause many angry managers and i don't see the point to adding that to the game.

please explain to me how would adding career ending injuries add to the game (besides realism).

Why would they not leave when they see a player injured right before a crucial game?

Why wouldn't they quit when there player will randomly decide to miss an important shot?

Why wouldn't they stay when a player they want and waited for couple of weeks to be seen at the TL had been bought by someone else?
More than that, due to the current auction system (non semi-auto system), they even may not be part of the real auction!!!

As you have written this is NOT a NBA2K, and it is a slow term game.
Whoever got into this game came to play it and not the NBA2K (or the eBay-game, as some gere do).

This kind of arguments remind me something that happens here in Israel.
There was a "Russian law" in the Israeli BB league, which mean that two Israeli players must be on court every time.
The coaches said that it is "not comfortable", although it was proven (at the three years assesed) that they can deal with it after getting used to the idea.
Any BB law that is introduced is changing the game a little bit and requires an adjustment.
The 3-Pt line, the traveling violation, Fouling out at 5 or 6 fouls, Having 2 half-games or 4 quarters, different league structure etc.

A BB-manager (and coach) needs to adjust to new laws introduced along the years.

Your argument could also be said about current Skills' drop.
A player (or players) who is the key player of your team is starting to lose skills.
Why this is OK?
Basicaly humans are more afraid of changes, but can adjust to most of them.

i could understand that leaving forever is lot worse then the random events you mentioned, and could be a hit hard to recover and pretty painful. Since with the other event, your player is recovering and you can try to promote another time and if you miss it cause of one shot it was a coin flip anyway, and one had to be frustrated.

A key injury here could throw a team far behind, and if they are pretty common you couldn't plan your roster and ain't there common, random would be so rare that the one who are unlucky would be really disadvantageous. With injurys or missed shots, there a lot more situation and it would get fair over time, but to reach that degree of fairness you need a very long time when maybe 1 career ending injury every 5 season is the average for a team(then you had to lock at 50 season+ period to have a relativ fair contribution of it).

Two seasons ago when I was fighting for promotion I lost my starting PG, SF and C all to injury. Season was lost but not the entire game forever. The next season they were all healthy and I won.

Deaths add nothing useful to the game and will create only misery.

Yes I know a team that was doing really well, had a NT player, made the finals of division II but when they lost the finals lost interest and quit the game. It happens for sure. If your favourite player died lots more would quit and I would bet it would put some off even starting.
