Overall rating in depth chart issue?

[DevilsEve666]

So we all know that a player's "overall rating" changes based on the position you are viewing in the depth chart...but if you go to "edit player" and switch through the positions there, the overall ratings are different from what it says on depth chart. Like just for example If you look at the overall ratings for falcon's player "justin blalock" in the depth chart his ratings on these 3 positions would be LG-82, C-77, RG-80...but if you go to "edit player" and look at his overall ratings he's actually LG-82, C-80, RG-82. Am i reading this wrong, or does the "overall" in the depth chart mean something else i don't know about?

look at it this way. physically a Left Guard will have the skills to play most OL positions. but if they don't spend any time in practice at the other positions, there'll be some drop off in their ability if you put them at another position during the game. when you move a player on the Depth Chart, that's what you're doing.

when you go to Edit Player, what you're saying is, okay from now on you're going to Practice at a new Position. if you do it this way, the change in ratings will be much less.
