Hello Efren,
Progress override will indeed neglect the critical and near critical path of the program because when you schedule the program it suggests that the started activity/ies be finished as per the pre-programmed duration without minding the completion of its predecessor activity/ies.
Truly, if there is a lot of project delay, with the retained logic scheduling, your program will always be blown out of its completion period. Nevertheless, it shows the realistic status of the project. Re-scheduling effort is just a pain-in-the-ass on the planners part.
Utlizing the progress override scheduling will in a way save a bit of your time in re-scheduling as the program somehow sticks near to its completion period with less duration for adjustment to work on. One thing that I do to go around with the forced advanced completion of activities is that I am changing the predecessor relationship from FS to FF (not of course if it is already FF) and put some +lag if seen to be unrealistic in the program.
Simply sharing.
