The personality feature is completely useless in a historical environment, because there is no data to support the personality traits assigned to the players. Instead, it is random and often wrong. Would Koufax be a clubhouse problem? Of course not.

I don't want the feature removed from the game, because it is a lot of fun in a fictional league. But it should be disabled by default in a historical or current MLB game.
Sometimes I love your rants.

Plus, if the AI isn't going to follow it but is just blowing smoke U.M.A. (new acronym), then don't have such a thing.

I agree with you regarding historical/fictional. Fictional, the game can make anyone what they want. Historical should follow who the guys really were. Dave Kingman was a clubhouse cancer (from what I've heard). Sandy Koufax was the Left Hand of God. It actually says in my league that he has "a chip on his shoulder". It must be hard to throw with a chip on your shoulder, especially if it was his left shoulder. If he didn't have that chip, he'd win 40 games a year at least.
