Correct in no chemistry/moral loss etc, I'm afraid there was just not enough time for it to be done properly for V1.

There is discipline of the players, though that is something you won't have direct control over (aside from the fact it was choice to sign/draft a player with off the field-issues in the first place). They will do "stuff" depending on this off the field attribute and their punishment will be decided by the league (based on the current real life conduct policy).

There is patience with draft picks.
I can't remember the exact time but it's something like 3 (might be 2, I'd have to go look it up) seasons before a first round player is treated normally and has to earn his spot on the roster spot based on ability and not just because he is a 1st rounder (and it goes down as the draft picks go to lower rounds).

There is no loyalty attribute as such for V1, though some players will want to test the open market while others will resign straight away before FA opens. As their is no loyalty attribute for V1 this is kind of random in a sort of way.

You can not talk (i.e. offer a contract and find out what they want) to would be Free Agents before Free Agency starts. I know it happens in real life, but as far as I know it's a very shady area so I'd prefer to stick to the proper rules for now at least. (exception: if they are on your team of course then you can re-sign them before FA starts).

Scouting soon to be FA (i.e. players who are on a team now but won't be in a month or so) will be the same as scouting a normal player. Your scout has judged their attributes based on his skill and what the player did in past season(s).

If a player has been on FA for a long time (think Tim Tebow) then gradually your scout lowers his opinion of the player because he has not seen the player (in Action) for so long he presumes the player has lost some of ability somewhat.
Eventually (probably not V1) that bit will change though and I want to add (not for V1 probably) things like inviting FAs for workouts every week or so to update your scouting reports on them (like happens in real life).
