I had a problem last night with the Brewers and they had a lot of positive players on the roster but still had team chemistry problems. Two things:
First, I did a league-wide player search for the players with the highest leadership and found one that was an older 1.5-star player who had the "real team leader"-type description (Justin Morneau, in this case). I traded away a pitching prospect for him and despite my roster having a number of guys who were positive, I got that special message saying that the clubhouse really appreciated his new leadership.
Second, I sought out the guys with terrible morale and looked at them in the editor in commissioner mode. After every game, even if we lost, their morale began to improve. It was significant to note that the problem was established and
even the right conditions would take time to fix it. I got a message from one player *after* the trade saying "do soemthing!" but when I looked at his morale numbers after every game they were continuing to improve. Eventually the situation got better and by the end of the season we were playing .500 ball and people were pretty happy - just in time to build the team again for next year.
