To start, I love the Team Chemistry concept. It borders on complexity, but it's obvious it has an effect on team performance. I've spent the week playing with the process and have seen results if I increase chemistry.

That said, HOWEVER, there is a balance between team chemistry and card values. I have a team with 6 Perfect cards (2 LIVE) and their contribution to team chemistry is horrendous. I have to play them, however, because I don't have sufficient replacements in card value.

Thus, there seems to be a definite "balance" one has to be aware of. Too high chemistry and too low card value could also mean worse results - as will too high card value and too low chemistry. The problem comes in trying to find that sweet-spot without sacrificing a season to do it.

The more I think about it, it provides another angle to roster building and variance of roster lineups - which I'm sure was OOTP's intent - and it certainly appears to work.

PS: I still don't like the Combinators (in case you were wondering).
