I would like it if the rookie award just applied to the latest draft. Then it would be a different player every season.

We shouldn't stop suggesting things that may ultimately lead to an even better product. The reason most of us come with suggestions is that we love the game and want it to appeal to as many as possible. We are well aware that the BB's have limited resources and although we lobby for our ideas, we know it may take some time for them to be realized, if ever. Neither should we wait to suggest thing until everything have catched up. I am sure the BB's have delegated work in a sensible fashion so that someone work on bugs, some on development, some on public relations and so on. Perhaps they need a break from that routine. Then they can visit the suggestion forum and hopefully get inspiration and a reminder of why they do what they do, and that they have a big fanbase that loves them for it Go BB's! (Yeah, I am a dedicated BB groupie and proud of it)

There is a problem that there would be no such a player by the end of season in some leagues. Or just one winning by default shich is probably even worse. Define latest draft - is it just 48 palyers drafted in the league or players drafted elsewhere and bought meanwhile before the end of season (minum games played could apply)? Those are things which I would like suggesters think about before posting and tried to suggest better suggestion. As simple as that.

I think it should be latest draft by season, no matter where they are drafted. So if there should happen to be some leagues where everyone have sold or fired their draftees and no one have bought some from other teams (highly unlikely), then there simply would be no rookie of the year for that league. Minimum games is a good idea to emphasize use of their draftees if they want to go for the rookie award. Executed in the same matter as ratings for supporters. If this would mean that the strongest teams does not get to play their rookies because it would ruin their winning streak, so be it, this is a choice made by the manager and could make it more fun for the teams that choose to play them although they are or perhaps ends up as the underdog.

Part of a suggestion and the process one gets by making a link is getting other views and refining the idea, exploring the pros and cons, and ultimately ending up with a viable solution on how it could be done. So far it has been 3 posts with positive attitudes and constructive critisism towards the idea and 1 against one portion of the original idea, with constuctive critisism in your second post. I don't see this idea as not thought through. Maybe not all aspects is clear, but that's what we should find out together, right? As an addition to the whole award idea, I think this should be just for flair, with no actual effect on merchandise/gate receipts and so on. The only effect would be a greater depth to the game and the player, a stronger bond between the manager and his team and possibly, but not definitely, percieved value of the player.

This particular sugestion aside, it would be ncie if more suggestion would be decent from first post not just with "hey-what-about-this!-I_think-it-is-a-really-good-idea"ish approach:)

Sure. You could make a suggestion ;)

Everything is pretty much ok right now (to soem extent). :)

Best U-21 player would probably be a lot better feature than rookie of the year. It's unlikely in most top divisions that anyone plays untrained 18 or 19 year olds.

Last season my starting C was 19 years old (but I was in V division)

These are all great ideas. All these things being recorded in player history is more incentive for players to be supporters. There should also be some trophies.

Rookie of the year is easy. The game already records players previous seasons. A rookie is any player who does not have a previous season, regardless if they are 18 or 38. So newly drafted and created players all qualify. The one in each league with the best in game stats is rookie of the year. Should also have an all rookie team!

the sixth man of the year may be judged by their no. of minutes.

candidates must have at most 28 min. ppg.

The definition of sixth man has nothing to do with how many minutes they play. They must be coming off the bench.
