Question about the draft

QTRaven · 02-09-2018, 10:03 PM

Is there a way to add new last names for the randomly generated players? Like say I wanted to have Starbucks or Walmark as a possible name to see in the draft, could I do that?

If you create a new player, that should add his name in the possible choices for generation for the nationality you assign to him. But it's not possible to edit the name files directly.

I thought it might work like that, but I've made a couple players and after 4 seasons no one other than them have shown up with those names. Maybe they'll still show up. I'll keep watching.

The name lists are pretty long, and the number of players generated annually for a particular nationality isn't that large. It may take a long time to show up, my own name's in the lists and I can't remember ever seeing it in-game.
