Ha, that's like one of those questions people meditate on.

if that same atrocious player has atrocious stamina, then after about 12 minutes do his skills become less atrocious?
You made me wonder about something though... Players with pure zero stamina. Are they just at maximum fatigue the instant they check into the game? Or is there some kind of weird, backwards enhancement from it?

What's the highest stamina for an all-atrocious player you've seen anyway?

Outside Def.: pitiful Handling: atrocious

Inside Shot: inept Inside Def.: atrocious
Rebounding: atrocious Shot Blocking: atrocious

This is my worst player. I realize he doesn't crack your top 20 but hear me out. He has been on my roster for 837 days. Roughly 119 weeks. He started at around 1300 salary per week. Let's figure average salary in the time I have owned him at 1000 bucks a week. He has chewed up roughly 120k in paychecks since I have owned him. When you have a spare 4 hours, I would like to see the estimated dollars spent on the guys on your roster with less than 1k salary currently.

I feel like the stripper that doesn't get any private parties.


You feel like an unappreciated stripper. Right? To counteract this feeling, I would suggest for you to live your life as a gay woman. Trust me, I've watched a few episodes of Dr. Phil.

Oh man, I'm sorry. That's brutal. BB is like an evil god that takes delight in torturing people. Sort of like Comcast?

I always felt there should be some built in injury maximums, as a safe guard. Or rather, zero injuries period, but a set limit on injuries at the very least. Your top two players have 2 and 3 week injuries. That's outrageous.

Oh wow. Honestly... not sure I want to know! And then there's guys like Sam Mills too. (6494388) (original player). Wish his salary would've started dropping a lot sooner than it did.

That's a Dr. Phil classic! "I want you to start living as a gay woman."

Let's recap:
I simply pointed out that BB used to give advance notice for changes. But that now they weren't . I gave the "controversial" opinion that I'd prefer they'd announce their future plans. (Regardless of changes, or if I like them or not). For some reason you took issue with that?


Now for the reply:
You ask a fairly dumb question,
In the future, when you ask a simple, basic, and obvious question
I never even asked you a question. I gave a simple opinion.


Still absolutely clueless. Re-read your initial post again and tell me what those question marks mean. Oh yeah, not an opinion, but probably a question....

Nice try trying to backpedal, some people even bought it. Go ahead and brush your shoulder off.

I have never had such a violent gear-change in thread tone as I got when I read your first reply.

Of course I agree with Shikago that their previous policy of "actually announcing gameplay changes ahead of time" was a pretty good one that they could have considered keeping. So maybe that's coloring my interpretation...

I'm happy with the match-viewer-tactics thing and hall-of-fame peak skills though. Too bad most of Shikago's elderly are imported to the home. My (one) guy has a long and glorious history that I can now look back on with disgust!

Zlatanovic was injured with 30 seconds to go while up by 60.

This season might be completely lost at this point. My top 2 players will miss 25% of the season. I had 4 starting caliber bigs and sold one off, then 2 of the 3 remaining were injured in back-to-back games. Talk about picking the wrong guy to sell! Considering all the new teams have fully built arenas and can use prize money on players, coupled with no teams tanking means this injury situation might be completely season destroying and possibly franchise wrecking - especially considering the new short timeline to adjust for game engine alterations. Kind of sad, I felt I had a solid team and was planning on a few more moves, now that can't really happen. This is the kind of situation that makes one considering pulling back or quitting. It absolutely takes all the fun out of a simulation game. This isn't work, it's a distraction for entertainment. The world isn't short on that sort of thing...

Sigh. It was rhetorical.

What's your deal anyway? Why so hostile? Just let it go already...

What are Ilmar's peak skills anyway? Since he's an active player I can't see them.

Yeah, not sure what's up with that...
