hmmm I did not think about off-line. So you may have a point there.
About online, what you propose is to further empower the strong. Basically if I am a strong player in positioning, I can use the extra points to make me even stronger by increasing other stats. And if I am a weaker player, I would have to use more points on that stat to help me, and sacrifice in other stats. I play the game for about a year, and I can tell you that movement/foot work is heavily overpowered skill in TE. You need to be able to do these really well to have any sort of chance. Shot making and strategy comes a weak second, a good deal behind in importance. So to me, it means if one cannot position himself well for the shots, he will struggle immensely and no amount of strategy and shot making will help. But once you do get that footwork down, it becomes almost identical to a lot of players and then the strategy and different skill come into play more. If anything, I would like to see less "help" autpos, or anything auto...but that's just me.
Although there is another side to this argument that I understand and agree with. The fact that movement and footwork at times take presidence over strategy and timing and shot making. One could argue that too much attention is devoted to the movement /footwork in the game and not enough to strategy/timing/shot making. For example, a lot of shots in TE are too easy to execute. I would prefer the accel shots to be more random and generate more errors on their own, even if your footwork is perfect, as there is one more aspect missing in TE - Control between depth/power/spin. Freedom of sorts. Even if I line-up the shot, I should be able to time it wrong, over-cook it, or under-cook it etc... hard to explain, hope you understand.
