Archetype

The Archetypes need some reworking. Especially for certain positions. Imo Safety and LB need the most reworking. Neither position has abilities that are truly hybrid, despite Safety literally having an archetype labeled "Hybrid". There are 5 abilities, and for Hybrid safeties, 1 of those 5 have anything to do with coverage. And most players can't get half of the abilities. The top 40 FS's are Box Specialist, which is crazy in itself considering typically the FS is more of the coverage guy, but maybe that's outdated. Out of the 40 top FS's, a grand total of 2 of them have the ability Aftershock. Only 2 of them have more than 2 abilities unlocked. It's not really even worth it to get anything other than Coverage Specialist because they can unlock their abilities significantly more easy. Hybrid Safeties are just a tweaked Box Specialist. Same thing goes for Thumper and Signal Caller. Basically the same thing and most players can't get a majority of their abilities. You have Thumper and Lurker, and you should have some form of s Hybrid LB who can tackle and cover because they exist in real life but Signal Caller is not that. 

They mentioned having generational players, but I think the best way to do that would be having players be able to get abilities outside of their archetype. The game already does that for existing players, but you can't replicate that for any players who don't have it from the beginning. I think it's would lead to more diversity in player profiles and make more sense if the Archetype was just a label and it could change freely as you upgrade your players and all abilities were accessible for all players and only limited by ability.
