Posting this agian since this is probably a better forum for it. There are a couple threads open on this in the other areas. Here is one:

Player Hometown

Anyway the issue is there is no way to select which particular city a player is from when there are multiple towns of the same name in different states. Example in the thread was Springfield IL and MA. But there are many others. Not a huge issue but an annoyance. And since it can effect where a player may choose to sign a contract it should be fixed. Since there is a drop down menu for changing the cities teams are located in this should exist in the player editor as well.

Another minor annoyance is selecting the nationality. I find the the nation i need the most (American) is way at the bottom of the list and I have to waste time scrolling all the way to the bottom either:

A) put "American" at the top of the list (since its probably going to be the most used in most situations anyway)

B) put an arrow bar on the side of the menu so I can drag down the the bottom of the list immediatily with the mouse. This should be on all the drop down menus anyway IMO.

C) make it so that the "home nation" of the active league your in is always at the top of the list. That would satisfy those who might say well I am playing my league in Sweden and its just as annoying to scroll all the way down there for 90% of my players! See everyone wins!
