So a 90 overall defenseman will be better at defense than a 90 overall forward because of their defensive stats. I just don't see any reason for the overall numbers to change based on position.

while i do see your point, i think its important for several reasons. first it would allow people to easily see which position a guy was best at. you wouldn't have to go in and figure out if the faceoff rating or defensive awareness was a help/hindrance. it would allow users to maximize their players talents. additionally, the CPU seems to pretty much rely exclusively on overall ratings when simulating. that makes their accuracy important. maybe jobo knows more about this, but when simming in dynasty mode, you always see lines do well where the overall ratings are high. it never seems to matter if the line has 3 playmakers or 3 snipers or anything,
