Yea it is :)
Its not that big of a prob for me cause they are almost identical in skills (or in their lack of skills), but it would ofc be good if i could seperate the 2 in the matchorderpage.

Woah. Maybe you can get the BBs to change one of their names to Pete Erickson.

I just looked into database of Swedish names it is bit out of proportion, it was matter of time when something like this would happen. Write BBs or/and your local LAs (the latter can't do anthing with names already existing) that's all you can do really.

Maybe suggest they should program some feature that would check names on your roster everytime a new player is added and if there is already player with the same name add ", Jr." to the name of the new one.) don't know what to do with triplets and more cause solution like John Smith I, II, III is not natural for every country, maybe adding an abbreviation of a middle name after "junior" is taken (or instead) could work, in alphabet order like
John Smith
John A. Smith
John B. Smith

insert Peter Ericsson in this case.)

If I were you, I would fire the bench warmer.. He has no upside.. You can live with a starter( I don't have any player with less than Allstar).. This will end your problems.. peace

Well, i just have them for backup so my starters wont get 2 many minutes from 3 matches a week, and since im not giving them any training i dont care about their potential.

Besides, according to the answer from BB-Mark i just got in my mail, it seems like they do an easy fix by adding a middle initial to the players. So problem is soon solved and i can then tell my identical twins apart :)

getting supporter would allow you to give shirt numbers so you could tell the difference on the set lineup page...

i am sure this is not a deliberate way to try and get a few more though!! glad to see there is a fix coming!

Yea they fixed it manually, and very fast.
And i think they are listed in the same order as in the rosterpage, atleast it was so for me :)
