I found your idea of 'similar ratings get along well' a very nice idea though.

Guess why NBA Live series has never had real salaries and use points instead. I do think that this is changing especially if they bring in some of the more managerial side. NHL games didn't have fights initially cause NHLPA didn't aprove, but they got it in there eventually.
There are no good or bad personalities, there are just different personalities.
NBPA is coming around... I don't think they want to be the ancient ones in this line of work. I don't think that NBPA is going to withold information that much... It's only a game and they want to make it realistic and thus need a little information. Making EA use points, well that's just dumb and makes everything a bit harder.
I hear there are going to be real salaries on NHL and some sort of a cap for them too. A maximum cap cause NHL teams are not as restriced salary wise as NBA teams are...
I want to see some team chemistry... That's the reason Atlanta failed to make the play-offs last season for example.

Actually Andrew this was done pretty much perfectly in NCAA Football 2004 with the Sports Illustrated feature, Sure they didn't have rumors, but maybe it could show who was on a hot streak or who is shaping up to be on the all-star/rookie teams. Later in the season it could show whos in the MVP/6th Man/Rookie/Defensive/Most Improved Player award running like NCAA's Sports Illustrated Heisman/Maxwell/Bednarik/Best QB/Best RB/etc. awards. Also you will probably never tire of just checking out this feature if it was done exactly like NCAA 2004's.

Am i missing your point or is this a valid point what i just said? It could be just me
