I'm sayin u could change a players name but it has to be immediately after u draft a player. So when it takes u to the player card after u drafted him it gives u an option to change his name. But to prevent some span type of stuff u can only change 1 or 2 player name a year

I do think it should be limited to newly drafted guys to prevent confusion/hiding/change names of guys other people are trying to put into their hall of fame. Would probably have to be another randomized name so that Steve wouldn't have to constantly monitor name changes for lack of maturity. I don't see any reason to limit it though. That way you can just keep randomizing until you get a name you like.
