The only advantage I have heard is that it is easier for GMs to "tag." Not really sure what that means or how much of an improvement this will be. But as a player, I don't see how this will make the game more fun because there already is very little to do. Will this give us more to do other than pick our original archetype? Once we have picked an archetype how will this give us more to do or how will it make the game more fun?
It gives us more diversity than the current system because we're able to modify how each position now levels up naturally. So, instead of ALL HBs majoring in a certain skill (say speed), you now have the option to choose something else - as long as it fits within one of the Archetypes available.
For example, if I build a HB now, each level up between level 1-21 would give me 0.33 each in Agility, Speed, Strength, vision, confidence and carrying and also 0.20 in blocking, catching, jumping, stamina and THROWING.
So in essence, EVERYBODY who builds a HB would level up the same at the moment.
With this new system, you get the choice between Agility Carrying Confidence Strength (+.5) and Catching Speed Stamina Vision (+.25) or Agility Carrying Speed Vision (+.5) and Catching Confidence Jumping Stamina (+.25) or Agility Catching Speed Vision (+.5) and Carrying Confidence Jumping Stamina (+.25) or Carrying Speed Strength Vision (+.5) and Agility Catching Confidence Stamina (+.25)
Thus, with this new system, you should theoretically be able to build players more specifically tailored towards your intended role for them. AND, you no longer have the same level gains as EVERYBODY ELSE IN THAT ENTIRE POSITION.
See where it's a bit more flexible now?
