What do you think about making (draft pick) rename service once a season as one of the supporter feature?

I just like it...and will be a supporter if such feature is provided...

We can ristrict some of the names of cource.

don't underestimate the creativity in naming, and it would be a lot work to correct those names in several languages.

And for me this would be also to inflating.

I'd support this idea presented as a "donor" type of feature. A feature separate from supporter. Customizing a face could be another option, along with other inessential, non advantageous features. Other stuff could be a "donor" forum title, an additional transfer ad space, etc. Otherwise I suppose just the name changes could cause too much of a headache and be too problematic for its worth because not having this as a supporter feature isn't exactly a deal breaker.

It wouldn't necessarily be an attractive feature for everyone, but it'd be okay for those who want to donate and keep the game running steadily. The devs do good work here.

But it is quite pointless if you want to give your player an original name or nickname. I think it could be possible if there would be restriction that you can do that once per several seasons or after winning playoff or something. However you cannot have names like "Homer Simpson" or these which are pointing out celebrities or personalities from public life. That would be really ugly...

the question is how much Homer Simpson we would have, if every supporter choose one name each season ;) Pretty sure this would be a huge list.

There is a huge list of Tom,John,Lan Zhang, what ever popular name out there... so what...

And I bet simpson isn't that popular...

In worst case it will be like

Your worst case, have still different names but Homer Simpson got chosed from hundreds of players because they like him.

So you could have teams of them easily and also the few guys with "famous" names wouldn't be cool like today.

Customizing a face I could see, but not renaming under ANY circumstances- it's just for the person who wins the world cup thing. Renaming all your players would end up with too many players being "LeBron James" or "Kobe Bryant". Customizing the faces is a good idea, as they are already randomized and cannot be made to be a professional's face on here without extreme effort on the creator's part.... But that's something I would definitely pay for!
