They NEED to fix the strange names on white players for CFB26

This one thing alone would save me so much trouble.

I don't think I can put into words how much it bothers me seeing so many white players with names like "Feitu Saamsale" or dudes named "Luther Ah You.". I'd say besides improvements to how CPU teams build out and manage their rosters year-to-year, this is my #1 biggest hope that they change for next year's game.

I'm just glad we can edit names, positions, and equipment because this is something that is probably vastly overlooked by the majority of players but would have had the potential to completely ruin the game for me if we didn't have a workaround.

Also, I really hope they fix the Transfer Portal. There seems to be a strange bug in the game where all the QBs from a Western US area all sign with the same team (this is something that I'm currently experiencing in my latest Dynasty with Arizona having EJ Werner, Aidan Chiles, Miller Moss, Fernando Mendoza, and a few other QBs that transferred). I've actually been doing my best to take temporary control and manually recruit the transfers so they don't end up stacked on one team.

The best corner on my team that just graduated was a white guy named "Sinilau Tuefele"

The names don't bother me THAT much because we can edit them (or I can just consider the player biracial and white-passing).

It would bother me even less if we could change player appearances. If a recruit has a Samoan name but is clearly a white dude, I'd ideally wanna just make him look right.

Also hope they fix the recruits who appear to have gray hair and gray beards who look like prime casting candidates for a Cialis commercial.

Yeah not sure why they put so many faces in the recruit pool that look like old dudes.
