British Flag

[Tombudoman]

Just a small thing but in PT is there any chance of including the British flag in the list you can pick from for your nationality?

This is much harder than you would think, because when we originally set up the db we used the Football Manager model for some reason, which breaks GB into the four component countries. To add GB in, we would have to basically rewrite the whole of GB in the world db.

Given we have the NBL in-game now we will probably end up doing this, but it will take some time, not a quick fix.

I think that we should each personally have the option to have either the UK and the areas that make up the UK and/or Great Britain as separate nations or as one large nation including them all together from the start of a game, if not both options at the same time when a game starts up. It would perhaps be rather interesting to see England play Great Britain, for instance, at times, I think. At least to me, anyway.

It might mean at least a good deal more work, for some people, at times, but I still think it might be an idea sufficiently worth considering at some point. Personally, I like having them separated into different countries rather than having them consolidated, normally. Others may not, of course, but I generally do, in any case. CD out.

Looking at how you structured the Netherlands, this shouldn't be difficult. Add secondary nationality to all qualifying current players, add GBR as the nation with NO population and no ability to make current players. In fact a user could probably do this in about an hour or two if they have the ability to mass edit the current players and coaches. Then you'd be all set once you assign them a continent. Then players would qualify for Wales and Great Britain just as they can now qualify for Netherlands and its subsidiaries.

Sure, we could indeed do this as a temporary hack, will definitely think that over, but would ultimately be better to restructure GB entirely in the world db.
