*WARNING* Editing players position

[ZoneKIller]

Do not edit any player into a WR. If you do, that's it! They will be a WR forever. You cannot change a WR's position.

Not even in the offseason?

Re: *WARNING* Editing players position

I thought, once you start a CFM, you can't edit any position. I restarted my CFM when I could not change Trent Cole and Brandon Graham back to DE from OLB (fortunately, I had not wasted much time or played any games before I saw this). Any position changes you want have to be done before starting your CFM (other than like switching OLB from R to L or RG to LG). It is a ridiculous limitation and so contrary to "what's in the game," that it staggers the mind.

This just isn't true at all. You cannot change positions during the season, but you can during the offseason (with the exception of WR's as mentioned above).

I've done it multiple times already during my franchise.

Re: *WARNING* Editing players position

This is in literally dozens of threads..

You can change most positions in the offseason

You can change limited positions in season (mostly left to right, strong to free)

OP is right, WR is a black hole you can never come back from once your CF starts. Likely to avoid greasy folks from playing WR's at TE to exploit LB man coverage.

You're completely wrong.. Position changes can be done in CFM, during the off-season.

Re: *WARNING* Editing players position

Question: I drafted a DT from Duke, a storyline guy that is way undersize (278) to play DT in my 3-4 so I wanted to move him to LE or RE but after I drafted him it would not let me change his position at all. Can you not change drafted players position?

Do it immediately after the draft, if you advance to preseason, you'll have to wait until the season is over.

Ok, I'm glad to be wrong. But, when you start your CFM, you are still in the offseason, no? Preseason has not yet started. Yet, it wouldn't let me change OLBs to DEs. I have not finished a season yet, so I was just going off what I experienced.

when you start your CFM, you are in the preseason - week 1.

Re: *WARNING* Editing players position

havent tried yet, can you change a cb to s and vice versa?

No doubt. That said, I'm noticing a lot of very big WRs this year. Plenty of 6'5" and 6'7" guys.

Yes. Moving a CB to FS can be a big upgrade. Equally, most FS get better then moving them to SS, but not the other way around.

I posted this in the bug thread awhile ago.

Wanted to move 6'8 Shady Monroe to TE. Can't be done!

They had to do this to stop all big WRs being turned into monster TEs. The game would be ruined, especially online so it's not a glitch.

Re: *WARNING* Editing players position

Can't you just put a WR into your depth chart as a TE? I did that last year with Ramses Barden, he was woeful at blocking but good as a receiving TE.

Then I got Byron Steele, and Ramses was no more.
