Post your funny personalities

[Hockey13Playa]

So I figured this could potentially be a funny topic. I do see a ton of redundant personalities however I am in the middle of my draft and looking over a few desirable options I noticed this personality

[ra7c7er]

I've seen that one. Not sure if it's good or bad.

It depends on what you are looking for. It basically means he cares a ton about his team and about winning.

This personality is funny only because it makes no sense whatsoever.

This guy I never can understand. He is one of only 8 players in my entire league that is both 'extremely' popular locally and nationally, yet he has been in the league one season and his rookie year was mediocre at best. He's 26, made one All Star team, but finished the year with a 3.80 ERA and 1.49 WHIP.

How the hell is he one of the elite popular players in my league? It ticks me off because he probably won't stick around much longer, yet the fans are going to hate me when I let him go for no reason. The only reason I see him being popular is because of his personality ratings, which apparently has an impact on popularity according to OOTP. Regardless, he shouldn't be anywhere near as loved as he is.

Kind of need an "Extremely popular but forgettable" popularity rating. So, for example, like Kawasaki for the Jays right now. If you asked fans he'd be top-5 on the team, but it's not going to cost any fans if he signed with someone else next year.

I was thinking Jeremy Lin when I read what the OP wrote.

I'm not so confused about "undeserving" players having national popularity. You never know the guy could have been a phenom in high school or college or something. I get confused when someone from the other side of the country or halfway across the world has extreme local popularity but no national popularity. That's when I start to think the algorithm needs a bit of a tweak.

The only new/rookie players who should have above average or better local popularity are people from that area. In that situation of course the local fan base would want to see them on the team. i.e. David Freeze and the Cardinals. It took all of 5 minutes for him to become a fan favorite just because he was from St. Louis.

I like that idea!

Or maybe it's like Manziel Mania!

Of course, after the 2011 postseason, he could have been from Outer Mongolia and the Cardinal fan base would have loved him like a local guy.
