I like that money is more important than the other aspects. If I'm going to pay a guy three times what my opponent is offering, he should sign with me, trumping playing time, loyalty, desire to win, and all other matters.

I have to disagree with you here. Why do so many players in the NFL sign for cheap with New England rather then take the big paychecks from say, Oakland? Yea, desire to win is a big factor for players and shouldn't be discounted. Loyalty is also a big factor. Some players like the area, have homes and family's who beg them not to move again, they like the coaching staff, their teammates etc etc...So rather then take a gigantic paycheck to move again, they sign for cheaper with their current team.

I think the game should also take at least a portion of this into account. Simply ignoring all other factors and signing with the team who offers the most money is, IMO not that realistic.
