Any chance we will see the Longsnap posistion come in this year?

Only if they put in long snappers, of course.

Here's the quote from the blog:

"
New QB Ratings
Our next big change for the QB position was the addition of some new ratings. For countless years we've basically had Throw Power, Throw Accuracy, and Awareness as the only ratings for the QB position, so it's very hard to differentiate the players correctly and have them perform more like their real-life counterparts with just those few. For example, a superstar like Tom Brady or Peyton Manning would previously have a very high Throw Accuracy rating like a 98, well that had to be the case for a 5 yard screen or a 65 yard heave! Here are our new ratings:
1. Deep Ball Accuracy: Determines the accuracy on deep passes (streaks, deep posts, etc)
2. Medium Passing Accuracy: Determines the accuracy on medium passes (outs, corners, etc)
3. Short Passing Accuracy: Determines the accuracy on short passes (quick smash, flats, etc)
4. Throw on the Run: Creates a modifier to accuracy when the QB is throwing on the run. Every QB will take some sort of accuracy hit when throwing on the run, but a QB that has a high rating here will take a smaller hit.
5. Play Action: Determines the 'effectiveness' of Play Action for a QB, i.e. how often they can fake out or freeze the defense (which is obviously weighted against the defenders Play Recognition ratings)"

That doesn't explicitly say that they removed the old ratings though.

bit hard to judge play action rating no?

Thats not a safe assumption.

Well not a very safe assumption they didn't do this for the original head coach why would they do it this time? I think this head coach was just slightly more popular then the original.

It doesn't. But having "throw accuracy" as a rating will be pointless, as there are 3 new ratings replacing it. Therefor it will be removed.

Now if they implement a long snapper, and put a rating in, then they can make a new rating for THAT.
