I could see how someone would think that at times. Like other poster said TJ does spend a little too much time on DD

It might be easier to program physical reactions than facial expressions. You are correct it would add variety. 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.

Another thing I'm sure the developers are aware is the MLBPA whose members might not approve of how they are depicted in some cases. Carlos Zambrano is an example of a guy who did some off the chart stuff on the field but you won't see it in the show because of the MLBPA.
