i think common sense would tell you i mean dur. since i said position players.. i am not even talking about pitchers. physical attributes only improve in the offseason thats obsurd also... so i guess a rookie playing in what 100 games?? would never improve in any physical areas right?

No, I'm actually making fun of you because you deserve it. First, this has been discussed a million times. But I'll give you the explanation(s) real quick.

1. Short term injuries are much more prevalent in real life. Players miss a day here and there due to stiffness, soreness, fatigue, sprains, etc. Lower durability in HBD replaces those off days.

2. As previously mentioned, teams rest players in the minors because they don't want kids going from 35-70 games per season to 140. They like to move them along much slower. Lower durability in HBD attempts to force the same.

3. The minors are for developing players. In the real world, teams want to get 15-20 players regular playing time. They have to SEE how the player is developing because they don't have handy-dandy rating updates every 30-40 games. Lower durability in HBD is an attempt to create the same results.

In short, real teams don't play 11 players over the course of a full season in the low minors. If you give me a team full of 80 DUR players, I would. And that's not realistic.

so i guess since i don't live in the forums like you do i should of known this was talked about a million times?? let's see make fun of someone who doesn't live in the forums and who actually has a life or make fun of someone who lives on here?? hhhmmmmm and too top it off is under 18... shouldn't you be out getting laid instead of doing this?

just looked at your profile since you joined in 03 your more than likely in your 20's still pretty sad...

i am assuming you know this cause you played minore league baseball???

Mike has nothing else to do since he was fired from his job harvesting the sugar cane fields in his Cuban homeland. And he's too fat to fit in a boat to escape to Miami.

Common sense would tell you it's been talked about a million times.

I'm probably older than that. A team babysitter changed my profile a long time ago. I think it's funny when people draw conclusions from it.

I may or may not have played minor league baseball. I could be an astronaut. And a cowboy!! But it really doesn't matter. 'motown gave you the stats from the Midwest league. Anyone can look up stats and figure out that minor league players might play in 75% of the games. Well, anyone but you.

well you can say you may have or may not i really don't care anyone with 100k posts is a loser... i did play minor league ball and your theory is full of ****...

trust me i know you gotta be 250lbs + thats why you play this pretend game instead of playing in real life....

And, for the record, it takes me about 11 seconds to make a post. You've played a lot more WifS than I have. Does it take you 11 seconds to manage a team? You spend more time here than I do. Loser.

Again, look at the stats for lower minors. How many players play more than 75% of the games?

I know you gotta be stupid. And, again, you've played more games at WifS than me. Loser.

Awesome thread.

meet me find how stupid i am .. punk...

Even more awesome thread!

and for the record hd and sim league hockey take like no time at all to manage you 59 seasons of hbd X 5 ( minors) 25 or so players on every team hd has 12 players one team... so even when i had 6 hd teams thats only 72 players so i guess that more than 175 players on one hbd team right??
