Yeah, this is how it's worked for a few iterations now. You get a notice if a particular value is high or low but otherwise all you have is a randomly generated note based on their overall personality type (i.e. Sparkplugs have a different group of random personality notes to choose from than Normal or Humble players).

One thing I'd like to see a bit more of is that the Adaptability rating was added a few years later than the other personality skills and one artifact of that is that it's not included in the "types". As a result, you do occasionally get comments like "Rolls with the punches" when a player has a low Adaptability rating. There also feels like there's a lot of, um, euphemisms to avoid talking about guys as though they have the RA (the red ass) even though that's been a huge part of baseball personality and probably one of the biggest sources of conflicts (the various "low Adaptability" guys getting mad at each other and throwing punches, etc.). There were those kinds of players in the 50s and 60s and there are those kinds of players today.
