Suggestion
Bring back text descriptions by scouts, using the XML text engine. The text team can build a wide variety of messages so that each player gets a nearly unique description from any scout who reviews him.

It could look something like the middle section on this page:

Reason
This is an area that really added a sense of immersion in OOTP 6.5, even though there weren't enough different phrases in that game. With the new text engine, there is a huge opportunity to present some really cool descriptions of players. This would in turn increase the "fun factor" of the game and reduce the reliance on sheer numbers.

Priority
Really, really fantastically high.
