| Although I agree that aging is needed, I think Chet's league rules are better. TBH I'm surprised to see so many people supporting this, although that's not meant to be detrimental to the idea in any way! |

| We uses the possibility to heal nig. It cost 1d6 + 50K, and the critter has to be left out for 1d3 matches. |

The reason I'm actually all for a kind of ageing (although thats a bad word for it - you don't AGE after 2 games of BB!!) is because we had a situation where teams would get to 400, 500, 600+ team ratings (after a LONG LONG time) and NEVER level off. That was bad IMO
Also - that was 3rd ed and a long time ago.
Now with less winnings from matches and our semi-reasonable "wear and tear/peaking" ageing rule, I think we might find a place, say around 350 - 400 where teams just won't get much BETTER. They will still eveolve but not keep getting BETTER.
Also there was the problem of a 300 rated team not playing its rookies who would never get skills because of this. Now I think we have an interesting (and expensive) training rule to hopefully mean that teams can take deaths and retire players without having to immediately field a total rookie. |

My two leagues the MBBL and MBBL2 dropped aging altogether at the start of our new season. My coaches were pretty darn happy about it and I cannot say that I see my league spiralling to new and incredible TR heights.
The tighter Cash table, FF mods, the increased SPP table, and a revised better Handicap table seem to keep both leagues in line pretty well.

We dropped the first roll in our league. Dunno if it will have an effect or not, but the guys are sure a lot happier.
Quote: Something close to what Wadedidit suggested, perhaps add in some results that give aging a more of a "roleplaying" feel. Some negative personality traits etc.
I'd really like to see something along these lines. |

The BBRC considered "quirky" bits in 2001 - items like "Bad Back" (roll to stand up), "Bad Hands" (-1 to handle the ball), things like that. After testing this during the summer, we shelved the idea for a few reasons, including these:
1. Each item was individually rare. Remembering which players have which of six different quirks quickly becomes tiring.
2. Some items were rather useless (e.g., "Bad Hands" on a Black Orc). Useless items exist now (e.g., AG -1 on a Black Orc), but they're rare.
The closest I've come with any success is Bonehead, for three reasons:
1. It's a popular mechanic. Many coaches employ Ogres, so everyone understands Bonehead.
2. It universally affects all players.
3. It fits the "max loss of two" clause very well, because a second Bonehead results in a Really Stupid player; further brain trauma is ignored 
Mind you, we're incorporated this into our Serious Injury table, a quick-and-easy 2D6 construct that looks like this:
2-7: No effect
8: Bonehead
9: AV -1
10: MA -1
11: AG -1
12: ST -1
No, we don't use niggling injuries; and, yes, we have a smaller percentage of negative effects (by 3 out of 36) than the standard SI table. But niggled players usually play without any effects; in fact, if they're playing, they are by definition unaffected by their "serious" injury. But something's always risky about activating a Bonehead, more AV -1 players result in additional injuries, etc.
