Position Changes

I'm sure this will be addressed soon - probably when the "Rules" section is finalized - but has anything been decided regarding position changes? (...and sorry if it's already posted somewhere else)

I was hoping to get an idea as to what moves will be allowed and what attribute penalty (if any) will be administered for each change.

Sorry if this is jumping the gun.

Thanks

Hopefully they make some changes.

Moving a LB to DT and have him dominate is just plain wrong.

Yeah, some changes wouldn't be fair at all but some should be allowed. I can run Colvin at DT and he's rated 86. He's fast and strong so that would be nuts. (I tested it on Madden).

Well... how would everyone feel if there was... say... a chart, that would illustrate how changes would effect the player from position to position.

Obviously, some positions would be easier switches than others. It would be easier to switch a FB to RB, than a FB to QB, so there would be a bigger AWR drop to go to QB. That sort of thing.

I think we should be able to switch any player to any position, with a variable of consequences

I think a chart would be an amazing addition to the site. You could sticky that somewhere in the league discussion section.

Thats a great idea. I'd do it only I have no control over that kind of stuff so I'd have no idea what the changes would be lol.

That's a darn good idea Ripper.

Pure Genius....

Just so people don't waste a bunch of time sending thier ideas for this..

The way position changes will work has already been decided and is scribbled on a paper here and has been for a few weeks..

And correct me if I am wrong but certain changes will not be allowed? Like making a punter a DT or a QB a safety.. right?

ah hahaha, thats funny. What about that punter who ran with D. Hall that year at the fast man competition and came in second just barely behind him? DeAngelo Hall that is. His speed is incorrect on the game anyways.

A punter will not be able to be moved to DT (unless he is a big *** punter)... because there will be a weight minimum for positions.. but a QB could be moved to Safety.. although I highely doubt anyone will want to make that move...

With that said.. I don't see the point in questions being asked here now..

Everything will be laid out when I post the chart..
