Now, what these intangibles mean in the game is a long long source of debate, particularly clutch. I have no idea if these things exist in v7.
Yeah, it's something like that. But the variable (morale) is not constant, depending not only on the player peculiarities (we can call them the player's "personality") but also, or mainly, on their mood. Their personalities affect the way they react to external factors (like winning streaks or even the relationship with other players and the manager).

So, yes, the intangibles are things that have a impact in the diretion I am asking about. But they are not mood, not variable, but constant. And persons are not constant, and baseball players should not be constant too .

The mood factor is a great aspect of the FM series. Hope OOTP2006 will include it.
