Made me sort of sad but was also a nice touch, I thought.
But yes, that velcro joke always does elicit a groan from me.

When OOTP humanizes fictional players, it's almost like a mind <blank>, Because - maybe I'm weird - but you kind of develop a strange attachment to them. There were a couple of players that I thought about releasing/trading the other day and... I just couldn't.
Ultimately, they're just randomly generated by an algorithm, but you still feel for them in a way... But I might need my head examined.
