Just to float up some extra idea, for 09 edition probably since this is too late for new feature requests, but:
Player nicknames automatically given for those countries where it applies.
I know there's no golden rule in nicknaming, but I find it annoying that after a decade or so, there are no more players with a nickname. An idea is that, when generating player names in e.g. Spain and Brazil, have a random percentage of the player to have a nickname. Then, have the nickname based on the real name (obviously), preferably with a few variants to break up too many similar names.
This would add some character to the players. Since you'd only need to use this routine at the end of a season, it won't add to the loading time, except for the overhead we already have at the end of the season anyway.
