Alright..

So how many of you at closet Sims fans? Secretly playing when your significant other is asleep.. Creating yourself in the game with your partners then hooking up with the neighbours...

Let's just work on making the basketball aspect a bit better first. Jerseys would be a nice addition, as would club logos in the Match Viewer..

I like the idea of changing the look of some players but it isn't really necessary. If you're gonna sell your player cause he's ugly.. You're playing the wrong game.

Alright after reading GM-Perpete messages if the things slows the server then I agree it should be at halt and we should get jerseys out first. In fact I proposed the idea of jerseys before reading all the other forums that were around so I'm a proof example also of why we should have jerseys.

I mainly addressed the changing players appearance issue to tackle the problem with all the requests that goes around here (as well with name changes). I think these are great ways to give users the requests they want as they eliminate the issues that are constantly brought up when people discuss these topics.

The players appearances should remain as it is for now, let's get jerseys first.

Like white nigerian guys ?

Well, this has not to be adressed by users, but by BBs themselves with more proper face for chinese or other asian people.


fyp

But it is adressed by the users and for many seasons now - I think this should be fixed really asap AND this sure is not a huge coding thing to do.

I think it would be a very attractive starting feature. We could customize our draft picks looks at the first and then customize changeable items. I like the idea but I am not sure of the reward for game play.

No, then a lot of people would choose the same hairstyle. It's best to let things stay random. And if there's bald 18 yr old, so be it, he'll get old in a few seasons.

Check the Suggestions they are important

I love the randomization of it, that you can build a team around someone who looks like a total goofball, like the player to the left, who is my franchise cornerstone despite having the hair growth ability of an infant. If this suggestion were implemented it should be done in the form of a contest to customize your draftee or something (like the name your draftee contest) but even then I don't totally see the point.

Maybe change the coding to make appearance more congruous with nationality but I can probably think of 100 things the BBs should do before they worry about that.

One of my best friends was 90% bald by the time he was 20. It sucked to be him because it was really ugly and he tried to shave it but had ugly patches growing in clumps here and there just like in the bb picture. He was gay and I don't know about the USA but as a stereotype over here gay men are immaculatly groomed and put a great deal of time into their hair and clothes while my 20 year old friend looked like a 40 year old who just didn't care.

I like the idea, but set it so you can only change them rookie year following the draft for supporters. Allow other items like headbands and other accessories to be customizable

I think this whole idea should be expanded and could be a pipeline for a little more income for the game.

First every player should have a choice of a few basic models for their "manager". Supporters would have extra choices. This manager would be displayed on the teams front page. Then there should be the option to further customise the manager. Different colored suits. Different styles. Sunglasses, hats, odd hairstyles, umbrellas, laptops, I-Phone, bling, earings, actually anything. The deal would be that all these extra customisations would cost "manager points". You would accumulate some every season. Perhaps get a bonus for certain achievements - championships, players on all star team, players on national teams etc Players should also get a big bonus for being a supporter. Plus you could always buy more points with cash in the manager shop.

I think it would be great to extend this to players as well. Headbands. Tatoos. Goggles. Facemask. Bandages. Scars. Hair styles. Hair colors. Shaved heads. Beards. Anything that could be realistically changed. And as always if you really want your entire team to sport green mohawks then you can purchase the extra points at the manager shop.
