I definitely agree. I am almost certain that in the game injuries in the game have increased this season. I haven't seen an official statement on this matter, but I've encountered some very absurd things this season.

It is not just the players who are training; all my players are getting in the game injured one after another.

I attribute this to my use of a seven-man rotation and the generally high weekly minutes played by the players.

A seven-man rotation and heavy weekly minutes had been the strategy I employed for years. I had never encountered a situation quite like the one I faced this season.

The foul issues made me ragequit the game few years ago. Its just one of the stupid buzzerbeater „Features“ that wont be fixed no matter what. I drafted two great rookies, guess what they average like 6 fouls per 36 minutes. Fucking waste of energy to try and fix that.

Yes, the hidden aggressiveness attribute is annoying at times, I've seen some of my best defenders being fouled out on so many occasions and then when I'll let an actual potato play their position, they won't defend any good, but won't do a single foul either. It's certainly something that could be looked at in the future, if there's any adjustments possible. But, I'm all in for having aggressive players in the rosters, that's what we have in real basketball too, but I do think they should be a rarer breed than they are right now.

There is a clear distinction between "agressive" and "stupid". An "agressive" defender in real life still won't foul out every game, what we see here are players who foul three times on consecutive possesions, maybe its a bug and not a feature.

I think the game should be recreational, easy going and fun. All the stuff that kills the fun should go. Foul prone players are okay, but those hyper agressive beasts need to go away, it sucks and adds NOTHING of value to the game.

BB-Justin mentioned that aggressive players also draw more fouls and have an increased chance to steal the ball or cause a turnover. I agree aggressive players are a real pain (and that's coming from a manager whose two main trainees are aggressive players) but at least I try to comfort myself with this.

thanks for the source, but I finna call cap on that nonetheless AND its nonsense anyways. You can'T properly train a fould prone player up, so whats the point in the "benefit" of his aggressiveness, when the guy messes up your teams minutes for years to come until you might see some effect of ID/OD/XP. Give me a break.

More agressive players also fight for more interceptions and shoot more than non agressive players, everything has their trade-offs. If you don't believe in the words coming straight out of a BB, that's on you then

Mentored hundreds of trainees and even foul prone players had no problem getting trained, some even played 3 games a week 48 min every game for a few seasons to gain experience

If you want to see some stupid shit just watch the first quarter of my last game. Mr. Vohensalo had to foul four times in 11 minutes in a blowout win. No shooting fouls if I remember correctly. What type of crap is that? Happens all the time.
