How will you use player editing in dynasty?

Im all for rebuilding projects, but if my team has like 4 straight horrible seasons ill boost up some of my players so we can be more competitive next year or if i have a stud LB whose ony a 66 OVR ill move him up to like a 72. Also if its like last year, ill boost my kickers ratings once im in year 2015ish.

I'll probably do a survey around college football and upgrade some of the 2-3 star guys. Maybe edit some guys into breakout players for other teams as well. Also, change positions of some guys on other teams to fill out their roster better. I'll also change player numbers on other teams to reflect numbering in real college football better, where you see guys playing all over the field with non-traditional numbers to their position (i.e. a RB wearing #6, DB wearing #13, etc...). Won't do too much rating editing for my own team, just weight adjustments to reflect the fact that these players are training at a high level and are going to gain quite a bit of weight over their careers.

If someone gets injured early I will edit him back a year as a medical redshirt

Good call on the medical redshirt.

Do we know if we can change that in dynasty? What is to stop someone from having someone play 4 seasons and resetting him back to a freshman to have him 4 more years? Seems like that could cause issues with stats

-medical redshirts.
-randomly pick some 2* or 3* recruits (before they have signed to a school) to be "diamonds in the rough." i'll edit their ratings after they sign to be better than they are.
-edit ratings of players that are way better than their ratings indicate who have break out years irl (cam newton).
-fix height/weight issues.
-if the cpu recruiting is broken (not recruiting to fit their style) then i will edit certain recruits to be better in certain areas (no more oregon recruiting 50 speed qbs).

can't think of anymore right now..

I'm going to use it if a spread option or triple option team has all pocket passers on their depth chart at quarterback. I'll edit one or maybe two and make them scrambling qbs, so that team has at least a fighting chance to run their offense successfully.

as opposed to taking a freshman recruit and changing their rating to 99 in everything every year? i don't see why ea would give us the option to edit ratings but not class. if i wanted i could just use my imagination.

for example, john smith is a sr and gets injured in the 2nd game. let's say we can't edit his class (unlikely). then i will write all of john's ratings, ht/wt, etc down and find a walkon or the lowest rated jr on my team and just change him to be john smith.
