My immediate thought with the payer lock announcement was exactly what Knight mentioned. I often will create a few fake players and insert them into the game in franchise. But I don't really think that will really substitute for people that primarily play RTTS. The whole point of RTTS is the progression, the earning of points through your actions. I think player lock will be really cool for players like me who primarily play franchise and create players, but not so much for those who play RTTS for the progression.
