Playing out of position

[st.cronin]

Will there be more ability to play players out of position in the final version? I'm thinking of QB at WR or WR at RB, etc. Seems pretty limited in the demo.

is there a penalty to play a player out of there primary position?

players can play out of position, yes is there a penalty, there abilities are weaker then the primary position player. Not sure what you want to do with players out of position that you can't in the demo.

Are there limitations?

You can only change players positions before the regular season starts. In the roster view you have a button to change player position. If you click on it, you can choose any position for that player and the old and new ratings will be displayed so you can decide before acepting it. I'm testing and you can change even an ILB to QB if you want (of course being penalized). Where you're limited is in the deep chart, you can't put an ILB as QB for example but you can put a fullback as FB, RB, or even WR. You can do logical deep chart moves, but not weird things like putting your QB as Center.

How about moving/using a WR with bad hands to CB during the season? I have had some injuries at DB and am in desperate need for backup corners.

ICY is correct. But the penalty is severe. I had a 5 RB and a 4.5 RB. The 5 was a good inside runner so I switched him to FB. He dropped to a 2.5! So be careful.

I currently have a HB playing as my starting WR. You can set it in the depth chart. I did not try to do any other such changes...but that one seemed to work ok. My HB actually was better all around then my 2nd WR.
