One blonde guy from Ghana is no big deal. Babies don't automatically turn black once they are born in Africa :P But all the ghanaians being caucasians that look like they just shot another episode of "Friends"... that's a bug.

I strongly disagree. I think it should be more unrealistic. I recently sold a black, blond-haired player from China. My franchise player (13921795) is a black guy with a Homer Simpson tuft. I want dark-haired tanned dudes drafted in Scandinavia. I want more redheads with locks turning up in Portugal. I want more cannot-unsee chin balls, quizzical expressions, and tiny eyes. In my opinion, BB should ratchet up the randomness.

In my opinion we have too many light-skinned players in BB. It's okay that there are only a very few dark-skinned guys in the german drafts, but 48 light-skinned players in the last draft of Senegals I.1 are more than very unrealistic. I suppose same thing in the other african countries.
Is there any reason for this or will it be fixed for the future?

I agree with you,man. I mean, you never know, Maybe some potential African players didn't take the game seriously because the entire Ghanian or Nigerian or whatever national team was white. It just doesn't really make sense. It can't be that hard to increase the amount of darker skin players in African countries; you can still keep put lighter skinned players in drafts but just not nearly as many. I don't think this is racist at all.

cannot-unsee chin balls


That made me laugh out loud.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

I complained a few time that japan was all white guys, but also blondes and gingers were/are way to frequent. Finally they added some brown skins but still too many blonds and gingers.

My personal opinion is that the original graphics design was set up to represent the US population. And maybe even teh original designer didn't set it up so well. I'm not sure how many shades of hair and skincolor there are, but the %s probably are/were hard to set up to represent Asian or African people without totally excluding whites. There are white Africans in most of the African nations in reality, but the random generator is probably difficult to work with for the current BB staff to generate accurate %s.

If you look at the faces though its also really only representative of caucasians. Asian/African features just aren't represented. May not have been enough skill in the original artist's toolkit to draw the people of the world.
