Just made a quick search along the board and didn't find what i want to suggest...Sorry if i'm wrong...

Anyway, i would like to see some sort of a pool where you can bid for retired players (from bot teams or that just have been fired...). If i have a short roster and i get an injured player for 2 weeks, it could be useful to pick a low price player out of unemployment, a free agent...It kind of happens in real life and i think it could be very useful...

The other suggestion is quite simple...there is a MVP award given at the end of each season...Is there any possibility to create a player of the week award? Given to the player who had the best ratings, considering the 2 league games per week?

Any thoughts?

Player of the game would be cool too...
To ease the process of choosing the player of the week, the idea could be awarding it to the player with the highest rating sum...But any other suggestion would be, obviously, welcomed...

I don't think you could choose a player of the game from the highest rating, as some times the highest rating is a player that has only played 5 minutes. Would be a hard calculation and even then it would still sometimes pick "The Wrong" player in peoples eyes. This could be why it has never been done.

I understand that the rating, sometimes, reflect the intangibles, so do speak...And that's why they could be seen as the wrong player of the game...Like in real life, great defenders, even thou they don't collect 30 rebounds and block 10 shots, are, BB-speaking, often recognized by the rating...And what about creating a minimum of minutes played to be considered? Like a player, to be considered in the player of the week selection, must have played 20 minutes, at least, each game? Dunno, just throwing 2 cents after 2 cents...:)

Perhaps player who has played above 24 minutes in that particular game can be considered.
