Thats rough man! Injuries are no fun but a good mix to the game. Tough!

Yes, they add at least a touch of realism here and there, and add a good mix to the game like you well put it.

If I'd take this years' HGL journey for my team as an example, I lost young seasons' most important match to Suuret Muinaiset by 3 points (practically by 1, as 2 free throws were sunk in at 48:00 on the game clock), and due to earlier injury of Saku Sorvoja (normally my 3rd best player, last season rating 13.0, 14,1ppg, 4,3apg) his game shape hadn't recovered to better than 6, so I "had to" take him in from the bench instead of starting him as I usually do. He had only 11.5 rating, and Haanpää who was replacing him as a starter was rated only 10.5 for the match.
So, would have I won this match if Sorvoja wouldn't have gotten injured earlier? I think so, but again I find this bittersweet, as I love this kind of realistic touches in BB - injuries usually really affect game shape, so I'm glad it does so in BB as well.

Also, some would say, that we're lucky we don't have career ending, or full season injuries in BB! I wouldn't mind those, but I guess many would..

I had a great start in the swedish top div as homegrown this season.
But alas looks rough now.
Many buy players when they reach the top :)

I have been up and down often through the years.
Perhaps I managed to stay once a second season, forgotten...

Important to win a few games so not boycott from fans.
I will focus and fixing 2 more wins.
And no more cup after next game - that is long run - nice.

And voila perhaps pull a nice talent :)

Already had 2 internacional centers for Spain u21 and played lot of matches. Spain won silver medal.
Had to sell one ( huge salary, more than 100k ) and kept the other one.
Now training another guard 19 years old U21 prospect and 2 more 18 years old guards.
Future looks good...

Great to see "new" managers to join the conversation as well! :)

So, if I checked it correctly from your transfer history, you've been running totally home-grown team for almost one calendar year (so about 4 BB seasons)? Can I ask that is this your first "run" as totally homegrown, or have you been part of the HG community for a long time (on and off as totally homegrown team)?

Your future sure does look bright, as you have some highly potential young players in your team (and I suspect there might be more to come, as you likely are in a somewhat optimal league level in terms of being able to draft high potential players without being subjected to the same level "drafting competition" with other managers, as you possibly would in top level league for instance).

Speaking of bright future (and your future plans), now that you are a HG team and are wtiting to this forum thread, may I ask whether or not you have also been following just quite recently established Home-Grown League (HGL) Official Threads (here: (326589.1), and here: (326590.1)? :)

I'm just gathering/forming a list of teams (found from here: (326589.154) who are interested in joining for Season 2 of HGL, which is scheduled to start on next Buzzerbeater season, and for which participating managers are doing some Pickup (PU) match organizing during this season's Buzzerbeater playoffs (match organization process will start approximately at the time when semifinal-stages are reached in everyone's own Buzzerbeater leagues).

So if you, Bonaro 72, or anyone with 100% homegrown team who plans to stay 100% homegrown for at least the full duration of next Buzzerbeater season, and who isn't yet playing in HGL this season would be interested in joining for Season 2, please let me know by BBMail or by sending message on an Official HGL Threads and I'll add you to a list of interested teams. :)
(Of course this goes with current HGL managers as well, but I believe all you are already aware of it after reading Official HGL Threads). So far we already have few new interested participants ready/willing to join for Season 2, but we haven't received an announcement from all current HGL managers whether or not they'd wish to continue playing in HGL on Season 2, so all this possibly affects the number of open positions for HGL Season 2.

Oh golly we won another game in the swedish top division.
Now we feel confident we will not be boycotted.
Happened before twice for homegrown me.
Even if I then tried like a mad man.

Trust me I will not be able to stay for a second season.
I cannot buy players :)

Nice sir!
Keep at it.
We did not take that homegrown route.
We only pulled talent and trained talent for the seniors.

We have had NTs of course.
But focus has always been train allround and what is good for team.

And lol a homegrown team cannot sell talents :)

Well done! And a 1-point win Exciting.

Hi!

I have a question—maybe someone will know the answer:

If I sold a homegrown player (i.e., a player I acquired from the draft) and then bought him back after a few seasons, would he still be considered homegrown, or just a local player?

Thank you all!

Yes, Asaf.K. He would still be considered HG.

Yes, BB-Justin confirmed it seasons ago.

But You will loose the training exception … afaik you will loose the execption as well in the case you Sell the player to yourself (listing him and bid on him!).
