Do I think that it has an effect? Yes.
How much of an effect? I'm not sure.
And since this is a game that's going to be modeled at the micro level (similar to OOTP), that's something that would have to be determined reasonably well. How this is calibrated would be very important (and probably would need to be a customizable slide bar or something).

I played High School and originally if we fought we'd get suspended from class but our principal changed that rule saying that sometime it's required. Good guy.
I played rep for years and a few games for junior C but then had an injury and had to stop playing. I truely believe that some fights really do give your teammates a lift the same as a big hit. But what really helps teams bond is a fight after a dirty play by a teammate. The player who sticks up for his player doesn't even have to win. He gains alot of respect and it definately helps the team knowing that everyones got everyone elses back. Helps with the team chemistry and bonding. We had a bench clearing brawl once, pure craziness but we all got together for a party after and had alot of laughs.
But it's definately a hard aspect for a game.
