Supporters should be able to name recently drafted players. And if you think it would be used for profanities, well, we kind of already have that in the game. (25011)

I have an easy way to explain that, how many players would there be named Lebron and Durant.
I bet every draftee someone gets who cares more about pro will be ridiculous.
For example.

4 years worth of draft picks:

Lebron James
Kevin Durant
Dwayne Wade
Chris Bosh
Kobe Bryant.
Rajon Rondo
Kevin Garnett
Blake Griffin
Kevin Love
Wilt Chamberlain
Magic Johnson
Bill Rusell

Anti-Tanking Measures:

1) Draft Lottery for the top 6 picks where each team has equal weight to get the top pick possibly.
2) 4 teams that relegate pay the 1 team that advances the cash for advancing.
3) Raise the Salary Floor:
Division I: 220% of TV money
Division II: 180% of TV money
Keep the lower divisions the same as its not as easy to accumulate a fortune there.

So a team that tanks all season, but does just enough to finish seventh and then buys ringers for a couple of weeks to win a relegation series is not hurt in the least, while a competitive team that they knock out is given the double whammy. Not good.

If you want to punish tanking, you need to punish teams that put out weak lineups for league games. If you lose a game with a lineup that's dramatically below league standards, your attendance and merchandise should take a serious hit for several weeks - why should the fans pay good money to go see a game if they're worried you're going to play a bunch of scrubs and lose by 80?

The solution to people not trying because it's profitable is to make it unprofitable to not try.

Add BBB and NT matches to the attendance history page. Just a nice small visual improvement.

I understand where you are coming from on this. However, I do have an issue to raise. With cup games it becomes a challenge to manage gameshape. Unless you carry a team 12 man deep that can all play. If you have three tough games and can manage to win two of three, why try on all three when you know the third is futile? It's likely to mess up game shape.

But if you are losing every game because you have no team to muster that is different. Either raise the amount needed to (IE Player Salary Floor) or make the income less from attendence for losing teams. I believe both cases are done. However, it clearly is not strong enough yet.

Am I the only one when seeing a player on the TL and would love to have him right away instead of waiting for days, maybe not being possible to be online during the deadline and possible bidding wars? How about adding a "buy now" price, which is being controlled by the manager? The manager can decide if he wants to apply it or not. The "buy now" price could be some % higher than the starting bid. This only ofcourse when relevant, and not when the selling manager wants a bid war or asking to much for the player..

A much better solution would be - the bids of final 24 hours should be "blind".
