I think it's good to have long snappers, though I doubt most people are going to care much. I cringe when I see a center playing long snapper, especially for my Eagles. Not only does it take away from the realism, but it is better to have an athletic guy on punt coverage.

If they would simply make a rating and a position (that doesn't have a requirement) then this would matter. But people would be pissed when a snap went bad because their snapper isn't as reliable.

Same reason we don't see fumbled snaps, poor handoff exchanges, and other non controllable mistakes.
