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.

Height has no effect on the game, only on training. It would be like giving everyone the chance to buy a half decent trainee slighly overpriced, but with the option of name a name change

rename

renaming would be bad, because i often look for player in searching their name.

And about the feature, i doubt that the result would be good, because i expect a lot of Homer Simpsons in the game(and i am sure that players will also play for offending names like hitler which will be extra work when the proposal is declined), maybe some dudes also get their real name player into their roster which could be cool but it won't be special anymore.

Maybe the GM could add names to the database when people create their account, they already had to check them when you register and when you use a normal name their you could be lucky that he get drafted some day.

They coudl have the names submitted for approval like anytime between the 4th and 10th week of the season, for supporters only. Then whoever works the ques could have till like the end of the season to send approvals/denials etc. The users could ahve like until 10 days after the draft to submit request/payment with an approved name and then like 2 weeks after the season they could run the actual changes that update all the names.

ten days after the draft lot of scout database are currently working, also some players was listed and not sold etc. If you say before the draft your number one pick get the name maybe.

Seriously I7m sure lots of peopel woudl name a player homer but how many would pay 10 bucks to do it???

seriously how much people would pay 10 bucks for it anyway, why so much stresse for it. And i am quite sure that stars or historical figures would be a target for a lot of this names.

And your process have a lot of work without a customer, or a customer with just sligthly interest.

All this is great but it really throws out any realisim of the national name database out the window.

Heck we might as well throw it out all together as we start getting an influx of dodgy names that doesn't even represent that country.

In additonal to the above issues which CrazyEye already pointed out like stupid/offesnsive names like Homer Simpson or Adolf Hitler, there is also issues with names that don't conform to that nationality. Do we really want a Japanese player called Kobe Bryant? or an Chinese Michael Jordan?

Good!!!
