Instead of being able to come up with a name, how about the engine just comes up with 3 random names from the database and you get to pick one of them?

Also I think allstar potential is too high and could be an unfair advantage. Most current "new" teams don't start out with an 18 yo with allstar potential. I could see maybe starter or star, or give them a 19/20 yo

I wouldn't be too happy if I spent 300k on a trainee and the 3 names the engine came up with were all poo.

I already mentioned Major Cock.

Sleet - you are kidding right, give a new player a $4,000 salary 20 year old starter potential and tell them it is a great idea to base their whole team and their training around that "core/foundation" player. Serious?

Three random names, how exciting, that is worth $300,000. Not!

Why is everyone so scared of players actually geting a chance to be creative?

But dude you know the game already makes wacky names.

These are just recent finds.

How much for Will Wankya? I didn't realise YC won a comp to have his name in the database!!

I would pay like $10 to get a player designed by me!
Wont happen imo.

My example was also forum friendly, if you get my drift. When my brother started playing BB many many seasons ago, there was a team in his series that the GMs had to re-name "Not Funny at All."

10 dollars only for a name change would be a bit too high, I imagine that a $1/name change promotion would raise thousands of dollars in a very short time though... I guess I would spend between 3 and 5 dollars - big pimpin.

If this were going to happen, it would have to be ONE per team, and I don't think the BB's would like it that managers would be paying real life money for a player. If it was a cost of ~300k in the off season and the manager had the choices of Name, Height RANGE (~5 inches), and the player automatically had the nationality the managers team was. Also I think the new player would have to replace one of the new draftees. This being said, it's unlikely this will be implemented because it would take work, and it's not a necessity. (I think it would be cool if we had the ability to change the players appearance within reason) However I do believe this would keep more players playing the game long enough to get them hooked on the game itself. All in all a plus for BB. The downsides I can see would be player's names becoming along the lines of 'Fu King' etc... however players can report this using the report cheaters, or something similar. Overall I think this would be a great idea and get everybody who plays BB really excited.
