I think both of these aspects are here by design that make the game a little slower. As a the BB community ages, real-life responsibilities are taking over and not everybody can log in so frequently to look for new players on the transfer list to "buy them now" or set a new tactic for a different opponent (perhaps after careful analysis of their pervious games) every day. By design, BB is a slow game that you can enjoy over a longer time and not get your fill of the matches until the matchdays are nothing special anymore within a couple of days.

The good thing is that with private leagues and pickup games you can increase the number of games you can play within a week, though without any effects of the injuries, economy, etc. Maybe the new BB will have something new as well, such as different tournaments and ladder matches in Hattrick if you're a supporter.

Alright, but that can be fixed with an automatic check and warning on the average price for similar (previously sold) players? Or even an initial range gate when the seller picks the price

I don’t agree on this one. Right now 4 seasons is a full 1 year right? Or even more. You can’t even finish your arena, have good trainers or buy good players to go up in 2-3 solar years. Which is an outdated mechanic I’d say.

I would say it is more about user experience and life obstacles that prevent you to log when needed. The autobid is nice but doesn’t solve the issue imhop

Hello

Dear BB devs and Gm


PROPOSAL:

Integrating Convalescence Utility into the Training Court (TC)The Rationale:

The current Training Court (TC) provides negligible utility relative to its capital expenditure and maintenance overhead. Since Free Throws (FT) are a non-salaried skill, the TC exists as a peripheral luxury rather than a strategic necessity. For.it cost.

By integrating Rehab Bonuses, the TC evolves into a critical infrastructure investment, mitigating the disproportionate impact of long-term injuries on a 12-week seasonal cycle.

The Economic & Mechanical Fix: Mitigating Dead Capital: An 6+week injury currently renders both a player and the TC investment "dead cost." Linking recovery to the TC ensures facility ROI remains
constant during roster volatility

.Stamina Preservation: Injuries currently cause catastrophic decay in physical secondary skills. The TC should serve as a "High-Performance Center" where injured players maintain Stamina levels via low-impact conditioning while doing Ft training.

The Training Credit Solution: To prevent injuries from permanently stagnating a prospect’s development, the TC should grant training for "Active Rehab. 18-21 yr olds"

Structural Tiers:Tier 1: Standard FT utility, no injury bonuses..Tier 2: 15% reduction in injury duration; stabilization of Stamina during downtime.Tier 3: 30% reduction in injury duration; combined with doctor level.

"Active Rehab" protocol level 3 only —allowing an young injured player to receive 48 minutes of weekly training credit. Trainee and doctor level you employ plays a factor in these things as well


Conclusion:

Elevating the TC from a niche shooting gym to a comprehensive rehabilitation hub justifies its steep cost and aligns facility management with the high-stakes reality of modern roster construction. While helping this very complex of player injury.

You don't speak moonshine x ChatGPT?

*Hey little Guest, appreciate the breakdown* 🙏

You're 100% right that Level 4 doctors + HRC + FT/STA training are the tools we have now. Most of us use them.

*The issue is:* we've had those same tools since 2008. 18 years later, injuries still create the same 2 problems:

1. *Training death for U21s* - A 21yo prospect losing 3 weeks of OD/JS/JR can end his NT chances. Doctor can’t fix that. FT doesn’t replace it. Death to youth training in general which is biggest issue of the all..training .

2. *No skill expression* - IRL, Kobe/MJ rehabbed skills while hurt. In BB, the only counterplay is “pay more salary and pray.”. Buy more player you didnt train . This is buying championships, it becomes deeper than buying a player to replace.

*Nobody’s asking to remove injuries.* Risk is part of basketball. We’re asking for _agency_ during rehab, like every modern sim has:

- *Gym rehab slot* = train 1 skill at 50% speed while injured
- *Game shape floor* = can’t drop below Inept if you assign physio
- *Doctor synergy* = L4 doctor + rehab = 75% training speed instead of 0%

Something more updated .

That keeps injuries meaningful but stops them from deleting seasons. HT has physio training. FOF has practice. BB is the outlier.

*We all know the workarounds.* The point is: after many years, maybe it’s time the system evolved past workarounds.

Thanks for keeping the discussion going. We can bring better change and we should
