Help with player names being mostly Latin.

BigPerm · 11-12-2022, 11:27 PM

I'm in an online league and we're in the year 1918. We noticed over the years most of the names in the amateur draft are Latin names, but we have it set up as American nationality only. Many of the Latin named player shows they are from the US, so it seems like it may be a name file issue? Does anyone know what can be causing this problem or knows a fix?

Go to game tab. Drop down to explore world. Click on the country of your league. In this case United States. Click nation editor tab. The next screen is the ethnicities page. From there you can adjust or straight eliminate the ratios. Really easy to do, just not a known feature for many.

Hrycaj's instructions on how to adjust it are right on the money.

I severely limit the number of Latin names, but they still show up way too much... I just manually change them at the beginning of a season.

The game seem to want more Hispanics and Blacks even though I have limited the number in the World database that Hrycaj mentioned.

I also get too many Japanese players in my free agents and drafts.
