Editing Players Bug

Most of the time, they'll be in the 30's. It would be interesting to test out how the low OVR translates to actual gameplay, XP, and player leveling (especially with coaching trees that offer passive XP), and then switching them back to their original position to see if they keep any gains. As far as player number changes go, I have 3 QB's whose numbers are 21, 23, and 26. It's driving me crazy. My HB's are all single digits. If I edit a DB who wears a duplicate number, the QB just moves to another number in the 20's. I can understand the reasons for not being able to edit the numbers, but they should at least let us assign a number range for certain positions.

I would say your best bet for that even tho its tedious, if someone on defense or your kicker or punter is wearing a single digit edit them to change the HBs number and then from there if you go to change a QB number if a single digit or number in the teens is available they will probably get it then

Unfortunately, only one of the QB's has a duplicate number and none of the HB's do. I'm about to over-recruit DB's to try and fix this nonsense (or just replace the QB's). Some of it has to do with ATH recruits. They always seem to get assigned weird numbers.

Yeah I've had that happen before too, I would say try to recruit some LBs and DBs and hope they get a duplicate number. In my head I just come up with a explanation like a player being stuck with a number as a freshman but as he gets a more prominent role then he can get a better number

I’m thinking you are right. The bigger problem is that it sounds like if I change my coaching scheme now it might mess up my whole roster’s ratings???
