Anyone who wants to go through and compare this new weighting chart (the one on the OP's post) to the old one (below) gets extra credit:

Man it would be aobcool to be able to adjust these in game. We sort of have where schemes can affect ratings. But if I want throw power to be 100% of my overall for qbs then I should be able to set it. Would be super useful in free agency rather than having to scroll through and look at every rating for every player to find guys I want to sign and trade for.

The era of the "ratings guru" seems to finally be coming to an end, mercifully.

I'm comparing and contrasting asap.
This has me thinking POSITION CHANGES!
Yep, if say a DB has high ratings in a few of these areas.
AWR, SPD, CTH, or RTR.
Scouting/Drafting becomes even more interesting!

Brings up an interesting question....does coach scheme already affect those percentages (even as simply a modifier)?

It's important in a way. Based on the chart, RT overall is weighed more heavily for RBK than PBK (vice versa for LT). What if I have a lefty QB?

Yeah, it adjusts those weights based on what the scheme is that you have set. That's the only way it could work, I believe.

It's probably best to think of that chart as it relates to exhibition/out-of-season rosters, that aren't affected by the schemes. That's how I thought of the old chart. And then I just applied my franchise scheme to that to get a vague idea of how much the weights would change (not really any way to know the exact numbers unless they tell us the scheme formulas, of course)

This is all very nice, but how about the schemes in CFM?

Would be cool to know how a Cover2 MLB is different from a 3-4 Tackler MLB. I guess it would be too much to ask for...

Anyways, I love the transparency!!

Anyone know how I can make the ratings info spreadsheet larger so I can print it?
