I just looked into database of Swedish names it is bit out of proportion, it was matter of time when something like this would happen. Write BBs or/and your local LAs (the latter can't do anthing with names already existing) that's all you can do really.

Maybe suggest they should program some feature that would check names on your roster everytime a new player is added and if there is already player with the same name add ", Jr." to the name of the new one.) don't know what to do with triplets and more cause solution like John Smith I, II, III is not natural for every country, maybe adding an abbreviation of a middle name after "junior" is taken (or instead) could work, in alphabet order like
John Smith
John A. Smith
John B. Smith

insert Peter Ericsson in this case.)

If I were you, I would fire the bench warmer.. He has no upside.. You can live with a starter( I don't have any player with less than Allstar).. This will end your problems.. peace

Well, i just have them for backup so my starters wont get 2 many minutes from 3 matches a week, and since im not giving them any training i dont care about their potential.

Besides, according to the answer from BB-Mark i just got in my mail, it seems like they do an easy fix by adding a middle initial to the players. So problem is soon solved and i can then tell my identical twins apart :)

getting supporter would allow you to give shirt numbers so you could tell the difference on the set lineup page...

i am sure this is not a deliberate way to try and get a few more though!! glad to see there is a fix coming!

Yea they fixed it manually, and very fast.
And i think they are listed in the same order as in the rosterpage, atleast it was so for me :)

Woah. Maybe you can get the BBs to change one of their names to Pete Erickson.
- or just fire the worst of them?

If he wanted to fire one of his players, he would have asked for help on which player to fire. Also, he has already explained that he wants to keep both players. When he decided to change their names, like I suggested, then why are you knocking what I said? It's his choice what he wants to do, not yours.

Yes, yes, but we are neighbours, and we Norwegians understand what the Swedes means when they say something else. Sorry to mess up with you. It will never happen again. ;o)

Ofc thats an option but it wasnt the 1st time this happened in BB and it certainly wont be the last either. So it would be good if there was an easy fix, now when we are quite few teams, "only" 50k (HT-damaged), manually fixes are fine, but might be thougher if the game keeps growing, which i hope it will :)
