I don't know if this is something that the developers intentionally put in and nobody talks about or if it's coincidence or maybe all just a figment of my imagination but i'm finding that players have certain personalities in this game.

Now obviously the personality can only go so far and ratings/skills will take over but has anyone else noticed this?

The scorer is the obvious one to notice, i've seen that the "scorer" personality can make shots and score consistently above his ratings for example.

Yup, this has been discussed before, but nobody knows for sure.

There are more strange things, for example the amount of fouls made by a player.

Imo there is something like a hidden factor which decides this, that could be a personality, but it's only guessing.

I've pointed this out before a few months ago and i had a lot of people supporting this theory, but we still don't know for sure if there is indeed a factor that decides all this.

I've said that this "personality"-factor has impact on the star-rating -> Defense, Amount of fouls, amount of shots and amount of personal fouls. You could say star-rating and fouls are connected to Defense, so that the personality-factor has a significant impact on the players defense in general.

Some say these differences has to do with experience, but i've seen players perform worse with the same set of skills and different experience. I'm not saying that it doesn't have an effect whatsoever, but you sure can't link it all to experience.
