My Dougie Hamilton healed from an injury and was in the "injured but playable" phase of recovery, so I decided to keep him scratched as a precaution. Digital Dougie interpreted this as a snub and his rating immediately dropped from 87 to 84. What?! He's had a couple of good games since and is now an 85, but the whole mechanic seems a little goofy.

It's a gimmick and seems poorly executed. Have a team meeting for a pre-season game and tell the guys to stick to the systems and work hard and somehow three quarters of my team loses morale. It's bizarre.
The FIFA system is more in the background. Pay the guy what he wants, play him to the amount you promised and they are happy. Don't do those things and they aren't happy. It works more in the background and makes sure you don't promise everyone that they will be the most important player on the team. It is annoying to have a guy out of the blue popping up and saying he's unsettled and wants a transfer but I'll take that over the NHL system. I'm not even out of the pre-season yet and I've made the decision to simply ignore it and stop having team meetings.
