I, for one, would be disappointed if they scrapped the XP system. I don't see them coming up with a realistic system in one dev cycle anyway, and I've always been upset when they do something then take it back the very next year. Is it perfect? No. Can it be improved? Yes. Do I believe that changing positions can coexist with it? Yes, similar to NCAA offseason position changes (which is realistic, most if not all position changes happen in the offseason).

I would like an OOTP model of inexact ratings and a scouting system that goes further then just the draft creating an importance on stats for evaluation purposes and creating a fog of war on how good a player is without having a predictable growth pattern IE Madden 12. Do I want them to rush it out on one dev cycle? Heck no, it could be worse then anything we've had if they do so particularly with the plan in place to use XP.

I understand and share the frustration with the realism, I truly do. But I want a functioning game, and OOTP has convinced me that what I want is not possible on current consoles. (Although I believe if we had ps2 graphics we could do a ton more with the ps3..just sayin)
