It just seems like one of these idea's that sounds nice and it's realistic, but the actual implementation will cause more hassles than it's worth.
I'd have to -1 this. Nice thought, interesting idea but i see this causing problems. In a game where everything wants to be the superstar, it will be hard to limit a team to 2 per 55 player roster and keep everyone happy.
I think it's more likely that free agents demand not to be a team captain so that they can use their VPs as they want. Either way, I have to -1 this because we already have the general abilities for this very purpose.

The way its currently worded I feel like this will just end up being another gimmick that teams will begin taking advantage of.
If both captains from each team are on the field, its a wash and basically does nothing but inflate everyone's attributes on both sides.
It could penalize teams for having two captains on the same side of the ball, so it really just complicates and adds another nuance the game.
VA resets are important for competitive teams that bring in new players via recruiting so that they can get the new dot in coordination with the team's strategy already in place. So if a new dot has "team captain" and some other crappy va, the team is going to take a serious second look at bringing him in. Is it worth sacrificing the va reset to dump team captain and just deal with the crappy va? or are you stuck trying to figure out what to do with your team captain situation now and lose the crappy va?
Most positions already have an "x" number of VA's they "have" to have to be good. So the few positions that are allowed more creativity will be the ones that have this va dumped on them.
I could see teams neglecting special team captains and just going with something screwy like both starter and backup centers having team captain, so that the offense is guaranteed a bonus on every play. Are centers typically team captains? No. But do you really want your starting QB or HB or WR even sacrificing 15 VA's for a moral boost and vision % to everyone? Not when the Center could do it! And don't forget, how many plays would that one hb or wr have on the field? What if its a 3 back or 4 back system? You'd be stupid to make one a team captain, because he'd only see a handful of plays. So it naturally gravitates to a lineman or te or fb even. Not exactly your typical "team captain."
Its not that team captains are a bad idea, but in its current form it'd be more of a headache for team owners and coordinators than it would be a "fun" addition for agents. More or less, just another hurdle for teams to jump to have their perfect system in place. It should be looked at and tweaked a lot from its current state imo.

Too easy to take the randomness out of it, and get it to fire on every play for 2 of the 3 phases of the game. For example, QB and 2 D players at the same position... you now have the Captain VA firing on every O and D play. Sounds like a repeat of when every player on the team had 2 in Motivational Speaker, except it's limited to a couple players.

seriously? Isn't this the same as motivational speaker only with a "C" next to the name?

This, you are basically taking all the General VA & limiting it to 3 players.
