Hi Jason and all the others :-)

I may be one of these guys as I own the game.
However there are not many tricks in the game.
I want to list some hidden meanings of the attribute.

EN is important late in the game and especially on the road.
But other atributes are also important.
I.e.:
SP is the overall speed (well not realy a news, I think)
AC gives you a little head start each time the player start to moves (so it is not acceleration in the physical sense) however you get this everytime a WR makes a change of direction so a pass route with many edges makes AC more important
AG there is a kind of calculation between WRs AG and DBs IN in the decision if a pass is caught, deflected or even intercepted (no real formulas are known)
ST is calculated the same for all players (therefore you see often QBs stand like an immovable tower while LBs and DEs fall around in futile attempts to tackle)
HA I have never seen any indication that HA of a C is doing anything for or against fumbling
EN we have heard allready: visiting teams get a -5 on that so they wear out faster, however this can also substitute backups earlier into the game, that play then better against also tired home-players (ever wondered why a CB3 or S3 makes the INT and not the starters ?)
IN good for QBs of course but also for every player to do what he has to do. running routes, blocking asignement cover an oponent
DI mostly important for prohibiting penalties, and of course targeting kicks and passes. Some say it also helps execute the plays. But I have no indication so far for that.

So now you know all the secrets ;-)
Maybe other owners of the game give us more hints ?
Or maybe somebody proves me wrong ?

Bye and tschuess,
Marco
