I'd be interested in seeing something like this where each individual player has skill levels for different actions, varying across both positions and teams. Not sure how to make the competition fully fair then (perhaps a sum skill level "salary cap") but it would be cool to see what strategies might arise when a team knows the strengths and weaknesses of their own players and can learn (maybe starting with a reasonable ballpark guess from "scouting") the weaker points of a given opposing team.

To make a ridiculous analogy to the other football, in NCAAF video games the mascot mode had every "player" on every team have 99 ability in all possible skills. Which means that any player standing on the field could throw as well as the quarterback, punt as well as the punter, etc. Opening up many unrealistic trick plays.

But even adjusting for positional differences, I think a lot of the cool sports stories have involved seeing how a particular team strategizes against another particular team, which goes away when all teams start with equal across the board abilities.
