The safe play from a business perspective is not to invite this sort of posturing. This is also why player race for recruits is randomly generated, irrespective of position, name, size, etc.

Yah I guess I understand it from that point of view. Just sucks that it has to be that way because it really takes away from the realism of the game.

I dislike the fact that they haven't changed the faces since the first 360 version, wasn't there supposed to be like 40 or 80 new additions last year??

and they all look like grown *** men in their 40s that already weigh 230-340lbs, not 18 year olds who are about to gain muscle from a college conditioning program

I'm playing a Dynasty with Utah State, a team that typically has a lot of American Samoans or Polynesians. I find myself renaming any kid I sign out of Hawaii and one or two from Utah usually as well. I rename about 5 players total from each class.

Here is a great name I used on a RB of mine. Soloman Onakea

He was a 3-Star power back from Hawaii 6'1" 218lbs and medium skinned originally named Antonio Kiniry.

currently #2 RB (72 OVR) and getting some snaps at fullback

Agree 1000%

You know what else irks me, those Samoan lineman this thread is about can't have that long hair like Polamalu and none of the white/other guys can have long hair either...and everyone's dreads cover their name on their jersey.

Care to elaborate?

International recruits had looks and names that were appropriate for where they were from. The pool was pretty large in relation to the rest as well.

This and they had a diverse group of names for them. The only thing they did wrong was too many 7 footers.
