Blablabla.

Nobody sued you because of your avatar and the Celtics did not sue the owners because of the green layout.

Yet we had a japanese player named Tsunami (is he still around?), we had teams with Nationalist symbols (nothing was done about it Long time, thx spanish ex-GM), but we live in fear because of some non-random player names that might exist in the real world. Nobody gave a flying f*** because of the White Boys of Nigeria.


Sure, a randomly generated Michael Jordan is harmless - a user generated Michael Jordan would result in a lawsuit.

Come on dude...

How about that: instead of renaming a player you get three to five or fifty or hundred randomly generated names to choose from. #profit

I started a mentor thread in the Swedish forum and changed the welcome mail so that it points toward that thread. Sadly though not a single new manager has posted there since it was started.

I think U21 can be a major factor when persuading people to stay.

After each draft I used to send a BB mail to all the users with at least decent U21 prospects. Since U21 player receives only 4 seasons of training, I normally sent a lot of mails because a lot of players qualify as a U21 prospect. So a lot of newcomers, who didn't know what to do with their U21 prospects, received my mail and those who responded, got to learn how to train.

So I realized U21 is an excellent tool to reach to newcomers and teach them one of the most important aspects of the game. Those users normally stuck around at least 3-4 seasons to see their player play for U21 and many of them stayed for good.

Of course you leave out those who sign up after draft and quit before the next draft, but no system is perfect.

the game is too complicated for a lot of people. I have argued this to no avail. secondly a lot tactics dont work right. 3rdly to many restricted.

I think players should be labled a the type of player they are by skill, what kind of tactical player the ity are in the BB market. then make it so many %..

for example player A can play LI 90% right... 2/3 zne 40% right. this would to better built players. these things can change with player building and training.

to me that would help the market, also improve the game towards building players for tactics.

Fine, except that would be impossible to rate because it's all a matter of opinion. One man's defensive small forward is another man's offensive liability, etc.

Of course Mr. Franks. that's the whole point and beauty of it all , if we look this in a more in depth way... The game is built on levels.

A lot of BB player are a certain liability to every team on the market right now, thats the beauty of the game. That shouldn't hinder training and or making him better to our want or liking.

The deeper point is creating better tactical players, with less all the mystery, giving managers the right to experiment also it open other tactics up to be played better from manager experimentation. Which creates more better see and feel data to be conversed on in these tactics, that's not being used. Also a healthy market.

Okay, I don't see the advantage to giving away information by applying labels, especially if the labels might be irrelevant, misleading or just plain wrong.
