Athlete all Ds

[jarato]

I've seen a couple of these before and rated as high as 4 star prospects , but what the heck position do these guys project to as athletes with all Ds for their ratings.

They are kickers/punters.

[DemonDeaconz]

mine was like an 82 Fullback

If every visible attribute other than stamina is a D then it is a kicker or punter. If it is a fullback it will have speed and blocking abilities at least.

Just another reason why the recruits need MAJOR overhauling.

Athletes in this game aren't really athletes. They're just mystery recruits. Most of the athlete I have come in contact with are only good at one position.

If I recall, past versions of the game had true athletes: guys who could excel at more than one position. They need to get back to having these kinds of athletes.

I think they nerfed athlete's abilities because in the old game, alot of the athletes came in at 205 pounds but they were Dwight Freeney type defensive ends. What they should do is make athletes with a bevy of talents, but once you select their position, the least important talents are downgraded by 5 or 6 points. So if you get a guy with alot of speed, agility, strength, decent hands, but decent ability to tackle. And you choose safety, maybe his strength is taken down and his hands are taken down just a little (since most safeties aren't as good catching as receivers). Something like that.....

NO! Attributes shouldn't mysteriously drop just because of a position change. Players change positions all the time especially athletes! They go back and forth. If they have those skills they have those skills. The only thing that should start low is AWR. 205 lbs athlete's attributes should not equal DE and if it does weight should have to be gained at some pace to make the a viable option at that position.
