if you want to implement this...fine with me. I'd be happy to have dots waste points on this new VA.

Only problem with this captain idea is that most captains will be your best friends or those who politic the most. In rare instances will the proper captain be selected. Or you'll just nominate yourselves for the added skills.

I like the idea of adding Captains. I'm not sure there should be an in-game effect, though. Maybe it adds to the player's Fame, and stays in his game log as a record that he was captain for a season.
agree

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.
