Is there a Juan Soto problem in 2039

Bobfather · 03-21-2023, 08:24 PM

Should I make him his own team there are 2 more pages of active or draft eligible Soto's

I definitely think you should sign Juan Soto

It's a tough call between Warrior, Loose or Loco... Are there any name or country of origin edits - or really anything outside the defaults that were done? Oh, and any Trouts?

Either 2039 is when they started experimenting with cloning humans, or Juan Soto is like George Foreman. Had lots of children, and named all the boys after himself.

It seems like there isn't enough diversity in the Latin American names set. This has been a thing for a while.

I'd trade them all for players to be named later!

That's not a problem with the namesets so much as it's a problem with Latin American names in general. Remember when there were two shortstops, both named "Alex Gonzalez," playing in the same league at the same time? ("... and Alex Gonzalez grounds out to Alex Gonzalez to end the inning") Some countries are even worse when it comes to the limited number of names. Sweden, for instance, actually encourages people to change their last names because the most common Swedish names are extremely common.

Yeah, it's probably a little of this, a little of that. Honestly I have gone into the names.xml muck because there are just SO many guys named Jose Rodriguez, Luis Lopez, etc. It was to the point where it hurt immersion because the Latin American guys might as well have just been named "Generic Hispanic Player."

I have cut all the REALLY common names down by about two-thirds frequency and there are STILL a gazillion guys with the same last names. But it's definitely improved somewhat.

Gotta draft them all. See if you can have a whole team of Soto's
