Introduce technical fouls into the game. It's a factor in many professional leagues and can be an added element into the game. Yes, it may be unfortunate for the current team but it is also a chance that you may benefit from an extra point or 2 a game. All it would likely take is adding a couple lines of code such as

Player X throws down a powerful two-handed dunk. Scored

Player X has been issued a technical foul for taunting!

Player Y [insert FT routine]

or even

Mountain Eagles coach has been issued a technical for arguing with the referee!

Player X pushes Player Y forcibly, and has been issued a technical foul!

The starting price for free agents should be 5 times their salary, instead of 10 times.

I'm not sure if anyone has suggested this before.

In the match viewer, I suggest adding a feature where pressing the Tab key can allow users to jump from minutes to seconds in the time input field.

New teams should be given a grace period for the fan survey question of "I am familiar with the star players, and am not afraid that they will be transferred".

Maybe for the first month or so it should be N/A

I think there should be displayed a date and time for updating the table on the leauge preview page. I can't always remember how many wins/losses I had and sometimes wondering if its after or before match.

I'm not sure if anyone has suggested it before.

There's an option to hold pickup games in a neutral area, but in the Current offers, Schedule, and Set lineup, it's not clear if the games are being held in a neutral area.
I don't know how to implement this, but I hope it can be made clear in the current offers and Set lineup whether the games are in a Neutral area.

I'm not sure if this counts as small enough as a minor suggestion.

I enjoy looking at some random dude's team's history sometimes. I see their trophies but sometimes I wish I could just see a quick summary of their achievements.

Is it doable to put a summary of their achievements in the team history?

Something like this:

1x Tier 2 Tournament Champion
1x Tier 3 Semi-finalists
1x Tier 9 Runner-up
1x Tier 4 Top 1024
1x Tier 5 Top 512

1x Top Division Champion
4x Division 2 Runner-up
1x Division 3 Champion
1x Division 3 Runner-up
2x Division 4 Champion

1x National Cup Champion
3x National Cup Runner-up
1x Tournament Top 512
4x Tournament Top 2048

3x MVP Winner
2x MVP Runner-up

20x Made the Playoffs
4x Finished 5th Place
8x Finished 8th Place
4x Promoted to Division 2
3x Relegated to Division 3

Not sure if this is easily doable through aspx PL/Platform (since I main other PLs) but I think we could just collect the already existing results from Team History and summarize them accordingly.

If I can guess how to work the idea out through some pseudocode:

Achievement: {
eventType: String
total: int
}

achievements = Object/Collection //works for both depends on coding style

teamHistory = getTeamHistory()

removeExcessHistory(teamHistory) //history before user was born

foreach event in teamHistory
eventType = event.type //if there's a type

if (eventType exists in achievements) add to achievements.get(eventType).total += 1
else
-> add eventType: Achievement to achievements
-> add total = 1 to that Achievement property/item

display before Team History (Probably another box)

Other than that, we can further add other achievements too like scoring title, rebound titles, etc.. but I think that might be too much at the moment so a summary would be a banger. It's minor and I guess would be far from the general direction of the game development right now but I thought it's a nice addition
