Is renaming player really a good idea ?
I'm saying that for a coherent and good game background. Even if I like the idea to name my player after some of my friends, for example, i'm liking even more the idea of naming someone after a friend of mine, selling him cause he is not that good, and finding him on the market, or even better, on an enemy team some time later. It would give the impression that the player have a real impact on the whole game.
That would also give opportunity to define very good player. If the players name remain the same, we could not only try to buy a good player, but we could try to buy THE player. Like "Yes, i managed to buy FireStorm, one of the best player, in my team!" and not just "Yes, i managed to buy a good 20 stat player. I'll rename him".
Not sure if I make this understandable.
So my idea would be, why not give a manager the opportunity to rename a player only once, to avoid random names ?
