If this is a true SIM league, it would seem as if you wanted it to mirror real life as much as possible. I've seen in real life where the HB will go in motion to act as a 3rd or 4th WR on a play and I've also seen the CPU do it in Madden, However, if hes putting the HB at his #1 WR spot then I would say that is crossing the line.
If not, then whats to say he couldn't use a WR as a CB or a OLB as a DE? On the Skins, if you put their OLBs as DEs their ratings go up to 99.
I beg to differ when you claim "He's not trying to do anything unethical"
Its not a big deal to have a receiving HB... but it is a big deal to have a WR running back.

I feel like moving OLB and DEs around is not as big of a deal because there is a trade-off. And it's also scheme dependent... Madden doesn't let you change player positions, but if you change from a 3-4 to a 4-3 (or vice versa) then your old OLBs should now be your 4-3 DEs, etc. So it's a much more natural transition.
Putting the HB as his WR#1 is a bit unsettling to me... Because you'd never see any team put Reggie bush as a #1 WR; however, teams like the chiefs do use guys like dexter mcluster as a mix of a WR and a HB (but he's more of a slot WR).
As well, for some reason, this game changed Chris Cooley from a TE to a FB, even though he's played his whole career as a TE and is rated higher as a TE, so it's hard for me to tell someone they can't use Cooley (a "FB") as a TE.
But if all this player movement is messing up the A.I., then I will just ban it all.
In real life, often aging CB's will move to safety... Often 4-3 DE's are drafted to play 3-4 OLBs and often 3-4 OLB pass rushers are drafted to play 4-3 DEs.
So, it's actually un-sim to ban all players playing out of position.
I just want to make sure the A.I. Isn't getting messed up due to the switching. Like, whether I have an OLB or a DE lined up at right defensive end, its not like the Oline will decide to not block him.
However, if putting a HB at WR is messing up the defensive A.I. man coverage assignments then it's essentially "glitching".
