I guess the question for me is still, would it really be worth trying to do. I agree that if it's done, it really must be limited to a few players. Still the chance remains that one of the (real life) hated players could end up as the (OOTP) fan favorite or vice versa. I think this would rub people the wrong way.

I read in another post about the possibility of increasing the chances of your star prospect not making good (a la Brien Taylor). Somebody (okay I'm too lazy to look at who) made a very good point that simmers would be upset if Ty Cobb or Willie Mays fizzled in their league. This is a very similar argument to what I am saying. If a player that you absolutely despise turns into a fan favorite in the game...

MAYBE, the only way a player could be assigned to be a fan favorite would be through manually editing a player. That probably opens up a whole other can of worms though.

Wasn't able to find this, so I apologize if I'm repeating the exact same thing that has already been stated.
