I thnik that if they add a gift with the birthday, managers might be a lot more interested in this suggestion.:)
gifts could be:
2 extra scouting points
based upon division a cash price. (eg 10000for div 1, 8000 for div 2, 6000 for div 3,...
free healing of an injured player, or if there is none at the time, you don't need to pay that weeks wage of the doctor.
fanmood which raises 1 ball on item: manager does everything to improve the team, because you trew a party for your birthday and the fans where invited
week of supporter, for free, so they can see their trophies and flagcollection, or get their supporter prolongued with a week if they already had it.
get a motivated trainer for that week (meaning he will train the players as if he was 1 level higher)
anything else ...
gifts could be either random, or chosen?...
There's possibilities here, and I think it would be quite unique (is there a game doing such a thing already??)
It's only once/year, and it won't have big impact on the game, but it's always nice to get a gift.
They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
