Change a name of one draft pick
Custom ammys are fun but take a lot of time on Recte’s end. To increase immersion, teams should have the option to change the name of one of their draft picks each season. It’s fun. Harmless. And it’s fun. Oh, and it’s harmless. And not a lot of work.

I hate it because it will make StatsPlus incorrect.

Re: Change a name of one draft pick
The names would change after the draft is complete. Would that still leave stats+ a mess? It shouldn’t matter at that point.

Re: Change a name of one draft pick
With all the contention lately, I was trying to come up with something fun and (what I thought was easy). Didn’t mean to add to it.

Re: Change a name of one draft pick
It's a nice thought, just not doable in keeping draft logs and StatsPlus matching.

Re: Change a name of one draft pick
I’m not trying to be a thorn here. I just really feel this would be a great immersion piece for us. We rarely end up with our own custom ammys, so this would be great to build storylines with our teams (drafting brothers, sons of famous retired guys, etc)
Would you be open to trying to change the name of the absolute worst player in the draft pool and see what happens?
I really think this could be fun for everyone, but especially the guys who really build a personality with their teams.

Re: Change a name of one draft pick
Update from research — as long as the name is changed before the draft is completed, the history is correct with the name change.
Please stop me if you just don’t want to do it. Then the application of it doesn’t matter. Haha
