Update on my guy. I was at the end of the season so I used the training point on him to see if I could get his overall higher. I only apply my XP at seasons end, but set the CPU every 4 weeks.

I was able to get my guys AWR rating up, don't remember the hard number, and his overall looked much better. As far as his ability, he allowed 4 sacks and had 9 pancakes on the season.

This is something that EA needs to address when moving a guy around in similar positions. In the NFL linemen are always moving around and with a 48 man active roster guys have to play multiple positions. I can understand not allowing online play to exploit players in positions where they should not be like a WR at QB. As for offline play we should not have to suffer the huge drop because of online play. While on the field is not impacted as much unless you are simming, what is impacted is the ability to trade the player for any value. It also allows you to resign good players for cheap.

In the future I will not move guys around on my line but put them where I want them on my depth chart.

It is a glitch. After my LT dropped from 83 to 55 when he went to guard I shut off my xbox so it didn't save. Just went back on, tried it again and he only dropped to 80 this time. Only thing that went down was his awareness by a couple points.

isnt it a roster 53, with 46 dressing and a 47th as a 3rd qb only available to play if other 2 qbs are injured?

Yeah, thats what I am talking about it should go back to a 83 if you move him back to original position, its not like he has to relearn LT, it has to be a glitch and for the people that say the ovr does not matter well if the blocking does not change then why is his ovr going so far down, its not like his str drops. I dont get it

When changing between Te to WR, and WR to TE, i noticed that all stats change, including what you'd think be constants (like speed and acc).

But the randomness of the change I suppose is to show whether the guy adapted well to the change or not (not everybody can adapt easily, so thats the randombility. I'd prefer if Madden threw in a Tweet or something about the success of their change so we know it's on purpose)

Also, the player spent the ENTIRE offseason practicing their new position, so yes, they will have a dropoff if they try to go back. After working nonstop on a new position, a player will be rusty and less aware at their old position (if you play sports irl, you'd understand this if you took a year off to play a different position)

This is false. My Wide receiver's speed went down almost 20 overall after I moved him to QB

This is probably because it was made to stop ppl from cheesing the game. But, tbh, It's dumb that they let you change to that position if they're just going to make it ruin the player

You can get a wr to te without ruining their speed, go wr to hb to fb to te. You kill their awareness but their speed and catching attributes stay the same.
