Hello,
The core rewrite has made some great progress but due to some restructuring within SportsHub we are going to change direction with updates for a time. The plan is to bring out regular, likely smaller updates to the various games but we are looking to focus on addressing some of the major pain points expressed by the community across the different games.
I hope that injury recovery is #1 on the HBD hit list.
This : from 3 years ago from an HBD long-term very successful owner who just quit a league pre-season after having already paid for it. Italics/Bold/Underline mine for emphasis. The only think worse than crickets is face-plant promises and rinse repeat excuses again and again and . . .
" I have played this game for a long time now, almost since the beginning of HBD. The only feature of this game that makes me consider quitting is the long-term injury frequency coupled with the broken medical recovery system. As pointed out by others, essentially almost all long-term injuries to your star players or prospects is a death sentence, even if you devote $20M to Medical (which I have done in about 98% of my almost 300 seasons). The only hope for any reasonable recovery is if you have get a super long-term injury that carries over into the next season. I have now lost too many franchise cornerstones or prospects to count. It quite literally disincentivizes retention, particularly for newer owners in a world.
Quite frankly, this is a bad business practice for a product designed to engender long-term commitment to a franchise. Please fix this! "
