Help Needed / Re: Player Names Database

Haha yep, definitely had some weird ones too SJL.

Separate "First Name" and "Last Name" files for sure.

My plan is to have 2000 or so names per letter for last names (including duplicates), and obviously fewer per letter for first names. I'll look into some statistics for actual Australian surnames and first names to get a good idea of percentages for the more common ones. Given the large sample size, I thought duplicate names might need to be multiplied. 50 is a tad high, I'll admit haha.

Would love to add your list to it as well (or anyone else's contribution!) if you're happy to send it through

I did a version of that on 1 of my old PC games not that long ago, thinking the notepad file was for players, turned out to be coaches. Anyway, I would be a good idea to separate "first names" &  "Last names" into separate files to avoid someone called "Johnson Johnson".
As for doubling up. In mine I used draftee names from coming seasons & didn't double up but the name generator turned out okay a few funny combos "Mabior Dalgleish" was a bit funny. They should be okay otherwise as long as you don't have too many of the same name in each file. Putting "Tom" in first names 50 times would be a mistake, 3-6 should be enough.

Hi everyone

Not sure if this warrants a new thread, but thought I'd mention that I'm working on a first and last names database that we could add to the existing list of names.

If anyone has already done some work on this, please let me know!

I began work on this some years ago in one of my previous PC2011 saves and have just managed to dig it up on my old PC. I'll continue to  add to the list the coming weeks and months. Hopefully can come up with a pretty exhaustive list.

Just had a quick question when drafting the lists. Maybe Grenville or someone else might be able to answer.
- Are the first and last names paired randomly from the notepad lists to generate a new player name?
- If so, would it be a matter of having more common first and last names appear more than once on the lists, so as it generate more "common sounding" names? i.e. having "Tom" or "Johnson" appear 50+ times?

Slow week so far - what time I've had has been spent bogged down in the AI logic for Free Agency. Slow going, and l=not a lot to report but progressing.

FYI - I have done the staffing spreadsheet for Adelaide, Brisbane, Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon, Fremantle and Geelong. I have a busy week coming up, so I might not complete all the clubs until the end of next weekend. Let me know if you want me to send through what I have done. Otherwise I will keep working on it more next weekend (with the aim of finishing it by next Sunday).

Sensational, thanks mate

Hey Grenville,

Are you able to make the ratings sheet a Google doc so that we can all look at the ratings?

That way we can give our opinions and start having discussions over some players?

Yep, I'll do that mate

Most Club websites have these. I did a whole upgrade of the 2011 game staff list in the 2018 update I put out earlier this year. That could give you a base to go off. Most clubs have assistants to assistants now as well called Development coaches.
