While I love the simulation and AI in here, which makes me practically addicted to HD, there is one thing that always bothers me about this game, all the names are just too generic, too many John Smith, and if you from Africa, all first names are Dikembe. In just about any sports simulation i played, i never seen one that generates as many generic names as HD and if there can be more diverse names, that would be alot more appealing.

All African males are named Dikembe. FACT!!!

NOT IN MY HOUSE.

And there is not a single Dikembe out there in the world, including Africa, except for Mutombo

Are you claiming Africa is not "real world"?

There is an international in Phelan from Sudan named Idi Africa.

A different game ive played used to use the US Census to generate names, but then realized that the US population didnt resemble the world of basketball, so they started scraping draftexpress player names

I vote 10% of players are named T-Bone.

I had a guy on my team named Dikembe Africa once

Dikembe Dong in Phelan... he he he

Well there you have it, Dikembe here Dikembe that, every player from Africa is Dikembe and many if they are from Asia or Africa, have last names Dong. We need to diversify the names more. Also have African-Americans players have names like Jamal or DeAngelo, I seen other simulation games segregate the names generator based on race, it be awesome to have more diverse names like that which we can recruit, or have at least one player who's name is not generic!

If they start messing with it, we'll probably get Dikembe Dong from Bismark, ND. And he'll be white as a ghost.

I hope high school kids can get creative with phallic nicknames, because there's a lot of low hanging fruit there.
