Maybe experience would be a great factor. You know that playing at the edge will get even more payoff. So unexperienced captain causes faster enthusiasm dropping or less efficiency of CT...

Many users make the most beloved players of his team captain

Well, probably it has to be just about sentiment, hard to say.

So if you sell you team's Captain, would your team lose fans? Let's think this through...

I think teams should be able to designate a captain just like they do numbers... put a "C" symbol next to their picture, but don't have the captain role actually affect the game. Any time, like on the front page, where a team is listed with a picture of one of their players, it would be their captain. It would just be cool to see who teams pick to represent them but it doesn't need to affect gameplay.

I support this.

Interesting. It sounds like it could maybe be a Supporter feature?

I think captaincy is a very nice feature .. Although we have given to support this feature, but it is delicious.

Both teams have to have a captain. Otherwise it doesnt make any sense. But non-supporter could have a random captain.

While I still dont see in this any contribution. Personally I would prefer something that you have to take care of something continuousely to get a best captain, because he does something...

Can anyone name who the captain of their favorite NBA team is? Do NBA teams even have captains?

(Actually, they can have them...

"Section 111-The Captain

a. A team may have a captain and a co-captain numbering a maximum of two. The designated captain may be anyone on the squad who is in uniform, except a player-coach.

b. The designated captain is the only player who may talk to an official during a regular or 20-second timeout charged to his team. He may discuss a rule interpretation, but not a judgment decision.

c. If the designated captain continues to sit on the bench, he remains the captain for the entire game.

d.In the event that the captain is absent from the court or bench, his coach shall immediately designate a new captain."

The captain of the Chicago Bulls is... Luol Deng!

Anyway, if we have captains, maybe that means that we can start adding odd technical fouls related to non-captains having unauthorized conversations with a referee. Otherwise, I'm not sure how this adds to BB except as garnishing. But maybe it's fun garnishing that adds to the experience of the game, sort of like team managers declaring which of their players they love the most. (I think having a team captain is better than getting the name of your favorite player tattooed on your arm or, well, anywhere else on your body for that matter. If we don't get team captains, maybe you can buy a goldfish and just name the goldfish after your favorite player.)
