I still love this basic idea, as I did when Drifter first suggested it; although I think there need to be more than the three types that Drifter began with, and even more than the five if one takes my two additions.

I think Bort and DD have said they've got something in mind. Although I love my idea and think it's perfect , I imagine they will do whatever it is they ahve in mind.

I really like this idea in principle. Contrary to popular opinion, I think Lockerroom Leader will be the least popular attribute among the masses because their benefits (as you describe them) benefit the team and not the player. One slight reservation I have is it gives yet another advantage to players who own a team and also lots of players who play for that team as they can coordinate their personality types far better.

Here's another slightly different take on how it should be implimented. What about instead of 3 independant stats, there are two. The first is 'Personality' and the second is 'Leadership'. Both would be rated from 0-10, but the ends (0 and 10) represent different extremes. A high Leadership score would be your 'Lockerroom Leader' while a low Leadership score would be your 'Workout Warrior'. A high Personality would be your 'Celebrity' while a low Personality would be a 'Professional' (or something). You could mold these two stats as you see fit, so you could be a Leader/Celebrity or a Warrior/Professional or a Leader/Professional, but you couldn't be a Leader/Warrior or a Celebrity/Professional. Alternatively you could leave one or both stats balanced (4-6 out of 10) for a more balanced personality in that area.

It could be viewed on the player screen as a 'personality grid' which will look horrible in ASCII, but I'm going to try anyway.


...............................Lockerroom Leader.......................
............................------------------------------........................
............................|.......................................|........................
............................|.......................................|........................
..Professional..|.......................................|...Celebrity............
............................|.......................................|........................
............................|.......................................|........................
............................|......................X..............|........................
............................------------------------------........................
...............................Workout Warrior.........................



The player above would have a strong lean towards the Workout Warrior rather than Locker Room Leader trait and a slight lean towards Celebrity rather than Professional, but any position on the grid should be possible either through answering questions (as you suggest) or moving the stats directly.


Interesting idea, although, if used, I'd have Professional at the opposite end from Lockerroom Leader, making Celebrity at the opposite end from Workout Warrior.

To The Professional, playing football is just a job, more or less; and while he might work out a lot to be good at his job, or might do endorsements and become known, he'd never be the guy rallying the team (as I view him).

Mercenary might be a better title than professional for that concept.

I love this idea!!

I have no problem with changing the name.

With the addition of epic suggestions why don't we should bump this we can immortalize it.

good idea, way to find another good drifter suggestion

keep it up once again this can move up to epic suggestions

Easily the best suggestion I have ever saw! Especially the straight up orignal "formal request"

LL, Celebrity, WW

Very nice!

The problem with the original request (which is a great general concept), is that with LL's beyond the first one or two being of little help, then you basically have two types of personalities on teams.

There simply need to be more types, which is why I and others suggested some.

Other than that, though, it's a fantastic idea.

Bump, since suggestions such as this one had been in here for 4 and a half months without a post, and still have yet to be implemented.
