I realize that this is a pretty major change this far down the road, but hear me out. Athleticism, Skill, and Focus. That's what this game is all about. Let's make the skills better reflect that.
People who are good athletes naturally have the ability, but that ability needs to be focused and honed to do good, and even then, they sometimes fuck up.
So, all players have three skills:
1) Be Good Skill
2) Do Good Skill
3) Don't Fuck Up Skill
So, if you spend a lot of points into "Be Good", your player will be able to hit harder, throw further, run faster, jump higher, cut harder, push harder, etc.
If you spend a lot of points in the "Do Good" skill, your player will catch better, hold the ball tighter, have better technical blocking, etc.
If you spend a lot of points in the "Don't Fuck Up" skill, your player will play tighter coverage, make good reads, read run/pass better, see running lanes, see who to block, etc.
I mean... that's pretty much what we are doing already. We just have the illusion that we can do more.
