Max Out Players (B Potentials at 99OVR) - **Extreme Cheesing**

[boilerfan1509]

Just a quick note to throw it out there for those that care. If a player has maxed out at one position, at the end of the year **before** you advance the season (this can be AFTER the super bowl), switch them positions so that they "learn" other attributes.

Example: Lance Briggs was maxed out (granted like 99 OVR anyway), but i switch him to CB and his speed jumped. Doing this 2 years in a row and now his speed is 98!!! So i did the only logical thing....moved him to safety! Talk about coming over the middle.

I have done this with several guys that are B or C potential and am able to get them 10-15 pts higher by moving their positions. Or guys like Greg Olsen that maxed out at 92 OVR....let him go one offseason with the OL and he become 99OVR TE.

The groups that i have noticed are:

HB, FB, WR, TE

TE, OG, OT, C

DE, DT, OLB, MLB

OLB, MLB, CB, FS, SS

Also, i have moved Cutler (because he maxed out) to RB one offseason and he now has 83 SPD!!

And Robbie Gould maxed at 97 OVR, so he worked with the SS and now has 75 SPD and 72 Hit Power....for a KICKER!!!! ***ALSO note that this will increase AWR as well.***

I know this is EXTREME CHEESING (hints the title), but i also know there are people (ala me) that do not play online, and when i get bored i try to have a SUPER TEAM!!!! This can help and will definately create some FREAKS!!! Lance Briggs is 99OVR at ANY Defensive Position.....ANY of them.

Cool info. I'll have to try this.

I have a slot WR that I just love but would like him to be able to break tackles a little more, a la Hines Ward. Might move him to RB next off-season.

Yeah I known about this for a while and have done it with a few different players but don't over do it.

That's my philosophy. I have some favorite players I like to develop, even for other teams (I control all 32). I can't 'cheat' too much or it ruins the franchise experience. If I do something for my team, I do the same for other teams.

It's hard to draft

Spoiler

Jack English, Boar Jackson, and Quan Henry

for my rivals but it makes the experience more fun.

It's not in Online Franchise now because you cannot change a players position.

I did this in one franchise. Did not know that you could get them to change speed by changing positions though, I just moved people around to increase potentials and develop them certain ways. Ended up with all 99s on both lines with a lot of guys other than that at or near 99.

Will probably be a great way to make a playmaking TE, or a blocking TE, by making him a WR/T/G.
The same counts for FB, making them either HB or T/G.
And the wildcat will probably be brilliant when making the HB a QB

I do know that the speed jump doesnt work for all players or even every year. But i have Briggs at 98 spd and urlacher at 95 spd and Tillman at 99 spd.

But there are some LB and DB that the speed doesnt jump.
