This is a suggestion for proactive feature implementation:

Developers, store the number of research people make on certain player, to be able to sort the player by popularity, that is the base for player raising “stars”.

The number of unique scouting of course (by manager).
That can change from season to season, the stars can be less or more.

Advantages could be any or several of the following:
- star being like a mentor , boosting youth players development so they develop faster
- economic booster, more merchandise
- better potential players starting their careers in club with most stars
- star players drafted to national team

Just some thoughts.

This is actually a nice way to start introducing a stars system. Thanks for the suggestion, Berhan. We just need to be careful so that it is not abused, as usual.

Cheers

Gabriel, how do you mean?

Every manager will “vote” a player being star by researching them, so the more managers researching a certain player during season A, will give more stars (one more) to the player being popular.

Perhaps by cheating you mean people with many accounts will research only on their own players?
People will always research own players for sure, so scouting own players perhaps will not give the player star points?

Nevertheless a counter indicating how many managers scouted a certain player will give a good indication on which player is most popular, next in line and so on..

Perhaps you could check it with percentage, or centain point rules, nr of votes (nr of managers scouting your player) giving certain nr of points, unlocking stardom..

Also we want this changing so a set of rules saying how long an earned star will remain and so on. Still, a start, no?
