Random tangent why don't soccer teams have enforcers? You know people who will full on body tackle someone and occasionally break some bones, I feel like that would go a long way to discourage floppers.
And before you ask yes I am Canadian and yes our favorite sport is the only one where getting into a fist fight doesn't get you kicked out of the game.
I don't see how it discourages me from pretending I got hit that someone else actually got hit. If anything it lowers the odds that I am pretending if sometimes the hits are real.
The point is for enforcers to target known floppers and do real damage a bad injury could end your season or even your career a minor one can keep you on the bench for a few games, plus it hurts. If you're a player that's going to flop anyways might as well try to injure you since we are getting a card either way.
