I just saw my last name in the game...

cephasjames · 04-19-2012, 10:03 PM

...and its a very unique last name.

The manager I created has my last name, would that add it into the database? I'm curious how it showed up.

JDevil · 04-19-2012, 10:14 PM

I'd bet good money I'd never see mine.

discodude5 · 04-19-2012, 10:14 PM

Hmmm, do you really want to know?
Maybe it would be more fun to have it be a mystery.

It's pretty cool whatever the reason.

I would've said the same thing before tonight. As far as I'm aware if anyone has my last name than its a sure bet we're related. So my guess is either it got added to the database when I created the manager or its not as unique as I think it is.

Yeah maybe....I think I looked once. There might be 140 people in the whole US with my last name.

cephasjames · 04-19-2012, 10:30 PM

It must get added to the game. I search the names.txt in the default_data folder and it wasn't there. That's kind of interesting.

My surname will never be in the database as I'm the only person in the world with my surname after I changed my name a few years ago

ImTheCrew · 04-19-2012, 10:31 PM

My name is Robert Wilson

I thought all buyers of the game were added to the database.

I have the opposite situation. My last name shows up all the time, and my full name shows up about once every five draft classes. Yes, I can't resist drafting "myself". Yes, "I" never get past A ball.

OutS|der · 04-20-2012, 09:32 AM

I've never seen my last name even though we have town named after us, even have a wikipedia page to

tylertoo · 04-20-2012, 09:34 AM

I want to see the name "Tony Plush" show up.

Matt Arnold · 04-20-2012, 09:45 AM

I've seen my last name a few times. I've been tempted the last few seasons to pull the deal for Michael Jackson, but they won't give him up easily (he's a 4 star SP).

maybe everyone who is listed in the credits gets their name added?

I thought about that too, but I'm not in the credits for 13. At least I don't think I am.
