*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?

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.

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.

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.
