And linked to player attributes, will player overalls be variable from team to team dependant on their style of play?

For example (very rough example indeed), DeMarcus Ware is an OLB Blitz Specialist. His stats will remain the same regardless of who he plays for. Would Ware have the same overall rating for the Cowboys (who would use him to blitz a lot, and covert blitzing linebackers) compared to say, the Bears who play a cover 2/tampa 2 style of defence and covert linebackers who can drop into coverage?

Same attributes, same ability, but the Cowboys would see more value (and as such a better overall level of skill) from Ware than the Bears would.

Granted this would require some sliders to be built into each coach and the importance they have traits at specific positions. WR catching vs speed (west coast vs air raid). QB arm strength vs arm accuracy. Kicker leg strength vs kick accuracy etc.
