An ATH is not really an ATH if he can only play one position

But I feel like in future years of NCAA, they should make the game fully editable. Kind of like OOTP, where you pretty much can edit anything. To me this would add so much value to the game and make the game more enjoyable to play when you can edit basically anything with the game. It seems like we are getting to that point with the ability to edit ratings and conferences in the game.

Well, I've only played one person OD so far, but I note you can adjust your players ratings mid-season which I don't recall before being an option. EA also said the next patch will permit height/weight adjustment, so reckon we'll be able to manually address these things to make ATH's more flexible in playing multiple positions.

What I do--and I know this could be considered cheating--is if I have, say, an athlete who can only play wide receiver, I might make his stats for cornerback, or quarterback, or safety, etc., be a little below what his wide receiver rating is (if he's a 74 ovr. wide receiver, I make him a 71 ovr. corner and a 70 ovr. safety or something).

I do this not based on what I need, but based on size, build, what I feel like his best skill would be, etc.

I know he isn't an ATH, but this punter I'm recruiting is a true ATH. His spd and acc are A-'s, while he has B+ agi. He is a terrible punter, but I'm going after him for the sole purpose of seeing if he will be able to play any other positions. I'm crossing my fingers...

I know, I was going through the punters that were interested in me and came across that guy. I'm actually going after him and another in case I can't do any other positions with him, cuz his punting is like c- and d+.

too many of them are only rbs or wrs.

Yes! Got this in my current season and I signed him. #13 ranked 2* punter and he had 4.34 or 4.36 speed with A-acceleration.

Got 2 more games in my season and I have to win both just to make a damn bowl game so I'll see what happens.
