Im curious to find out how you receive an "underachiever" role. It says 20+ roles. I wonder what some other roles will be? Could be "1st round bust", "Diamond in the rough". I just hope there isnt a big icon underneath the players feet on the field. Leave the player roles on the menu's please.
Chad Henne could be a lot of different roles. Underachiever, Project Player, Fumble Prone.. lol

Anyhow, I am really not sure how I feel about some of these team roles. I mean, Team Mentor? Its not the old days when players actually mentored and coached other players. This just seems really arbitrary. Can I just make Randy Moss my team mentor? Will it make any difference if I make him or someone like Manning?

Could I assign "Fumble prone" or "Playoff Performer" to just anyone? Will that cause someone who doesnt fumble to cough it up? What if I make Tarvaris Jackson a Playoff performer?

I guess I am a stat nut and play mostly text sims for that very reason. to me, altering a player based on subjective ratings is worriesome. If you can just assign these team roles freely and they have the same affect on a great player as they do a scrub, I would be a bit put off.
