PSA - Changing Positions

[Carsten]

Using Clemson they have a MLB prospect named Sammy Brown. In season 1, I red-shirted him. He is a Field General 81 OVR. During the offseason, during position changes, I changed him to ROLB because 98% of the time, I am in a nickel defense and not using an MLB. I also noticed that he did not improve and was still an 81 OVR ROLB. I made sure he started, and after a few games where he played very well, I went back to look at him to see if he was developing during the season. What I found was a blank tab that no longer showed him as Field General, and he had 0 development traits. I went through the national ROLB and noticed none of them were field generals, just MLB. I created a save point and simmer to the end of the season. He had 48 tokens for upgrades at this point, but the tabs were still blank. I changed his position back to MLB and moved the week forward to player progression. He improved to a 96 overall SO(RS), and the tabs were no longer blank.

There is no "Field General" Archetype for OLB, only Power/Speed Rusher, Run Stopper & Pass Coverage.

But i also had the same problem for some players where the Ratings tab was just empty and they stopped developing. I may try a position change to see if it fixes this issue.

Forgive my ignorance here...but what do you mean by 48 tokens for upgrades? Gone through 2 full seasons of a dynasty and have no idea what you mean lol

Regarding linebackers changing positions. Has anyone else noticed the rating changes between LOLB and ROLB? My starting LOLB is a ROLB whose ratings are 78 and 72 respectively. My starting ROLB is a LOLB whose ratings are 76 and 75 respectively. In earlier games, I have never seen a ratings difference between ROLB and LOLB. If you were 76 on one side you would be 76 on the other.

Yes because they do different jobs it takes different skills to do those jobs it's not just a flip

I didn't suggest it was incorrect. I made the observation this is new in this game and that previous releases would have the same ratings for either OLB. Hopefully we'll eventually get Boundary Corners and Field Corners.

There also doesn't appear to be rating difference between LDE and RDE, LG and RG, LT and RT.
