Polynesian recruits?

[Glorious Arc]

It does bother me to recruit from hawaii and not see the correct type of names. It sounds like almost every single player is a rich white land owner haha but seriously how hard is it to have players with Hawaiian names from hawaii?

It might be harder than you think. It has been speculated that race has "hidden" characteristics that aren't listed in the attributes. Right now it is broken into catagories: black & white. Adding another race means the race formulas would have to be redone.

For example, as I mentioned in my other thread, white receivers make better possession receivers whereas black receivers have more explosive abilities as an impact player. White lineman get called for more holding penalties than black lineman, but black defenders get called for more facemask penalties than white defenders.

I highly doubt that, my man. They can't put in dreadlocks but they can put in a top-secret racist rating system? Dream on, dude.

Not True. I have seen several times a recruit with the last name Kemoeatu. Utah has had 3 Polynesian brothers play for them with the last name Kemoeatu. Chris Kemoeatu, LG Steelers, Maake Kemoeatu DT Panthers.

i agree that the names could use some variety.

you know what else? why can we recruit from canada but not mexico? this almost became another hair thread for sec there...
