Munster Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Riddle me this: Just tried a couple of positions changes -- two guys who were supposed to have "very good" potential at the position I'm moving them to. After the switch, their potentials dropped from the mid-teens at their old positions to a "3" and a "7!" What 's up with THAT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druez Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I changed a position of a player and he actually increased in actual skill and potential. I moved an ILB who was fast to an OLB. But, I've had the same situation that you mentioned happen to me before also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry_boy_44 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 how do you change people's positions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munster Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 How: During the preseason camp, there is a "Change Position" button under your roster. Can't do it once the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What 's up with THAT?[/QUOTE] Players who have the "A" (Athlete designation) are more likely to be successful at a new position, also you should set their adaptability training high when you set training assignments. I have switched 5 players. 4 were athletes, 1 got better, 2 about the same and 1 got a little worse. I changed 1 player without the A and his skills were cut almost in half...Seems to be pretty accurate to me based on what I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munster Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 Yes, I understand that's the way it works. However, my beef is that is position-change window gives you a preview of the results before the change is made. So when I see that a position change will result in "very good" potential at a new position, I would not expect to see a player's potential rating drop from "15" to "3" when he's switched. If he wasn't an (A) when recruited or his adaptability training was low, then I would just expect his projected potential at a new spot to be weak -- not to be very good, suckering you into changing him only to find out you've ruined his career! (I've seen this happen many times.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colbster Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 That isn't a preview. It's a projection, but right after you change a player's position it doesnt always give u an accurate potential rating... Once I moved an athletic quarterback to safety, for the first season he was a 1/2... eventually he made it to 7/8. It's a risk-reward deal when changing positions because nothing is garanteed...

(I've seen this happen many times.)[/QUOTE] It is a risk regardless and not guaranteed. What you see as suckering is what happens in reality, you take a chance and nobody can predict the outcome......It is how it should be in the game. You can always switch him back :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dime Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 not entirely sure but the preview may be based on your coordinator's scouting rating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
