I don't know if you remember a pitcher named Gaylord Perry. He would put his hands on his hips and stare at a fielder who made an error behind him. It was kind of amusing to watch but I doubt his teammates felt that way. Examples like that are few and far between and Gaylord got away with it because of his HOF ability.
I know it's true of fifa, they individually scan a number of player specific facial expressions to go with the face scan. i wouldn't prioritize that kind of thing for my mechanism either.

Signature persona quirks like the way you described Gaylord Perry would be welcome but can't think of a player today that would make the cut for that even though stuff like that is cool. I separate my player demeanor topic from the signature or generic animations / celebrations topic though. I think it stems from older games like The Sims where certain calculations would fixate a mood upon the character throughout the game. That's kind of how I see franchise mode too.
