That story that OD or stamina will prevent him to get less fouls... it can help a bit maybe, but that's all.
There are players on BB with this hidden skill of aggression and the BB-s won't show it to us, so you can do a bit to make it better, but he will stay a "bad guy" forever.
What I noticed in my personal experience, those players score a lot. Best offensive players.
This is where we hold them!
