OK, you can change one player per season and only change them ONCE.

This covers all franchises, Xbox and PS4

Its tough if they drop s**t loads, I think changing them back probably won't help anyway.

You can use depth chart to get ie: an LOLB to play at ROLB etc, etc.

OK, you can change equipment, won't affect owt.

Honestly, it's easier to say no to everything rather than yes to this and that.

The idea is if before season 2 you change an LB to DE their ratings would be affected. We stopped it because you could but Brady at TE and his ratings didn't change.

You mean before season 2 as off season after season? 

 

Surely we can change jersey numbers :g:

Strange, no hits to ratings should occur in this version and it's pretty common in football. Certain skillsets fit certain positions. 

So it means for example, that whoever controls the raiders can't change to 3-4 with Mack ad A Smith as they are listed as DE and you need certain number of players on each position so cant have DE's playing OLB as you wasting actual roster spots. Did this make sense? :D

and I know is sily but costumizing my players's looks, equipment  and jersey numbers are important to me. Wouldnt want my franchise qb to okay in slly numbers like 13 or drafted cb's going 43.. :D

I don't see any problem renumbering rookies tbf or equipment. the ratings hit was why it was a bad idea to try it, if you got it wrong you pretty much lost a player. If there is no ratings hit then I see it as a bad thing.

Have you guys done testing in this version?? I have no players to change but it corners some of the coaches here into defensive schemes they might not want to run

Just change the players on the depth chart, it has the same effect. End of.

it's not like you'll be only having 3-4 OLBs listed and no 4-3 DEs. :facepalm:

if you're changing the defensive scheme you'll be bringing players to fit anyway

There is nothing you can do right now anyway, it gives us time to look at it, we have about 2 months so things may change if it doesn't break anything :up:

you couldnt do that anyway as you need to have minimum amount of players on each position. Ergo if you have DE's playing OLB you wasting roster spots on OLBs who dont get to play. Got it? Doesnt matter. 

I just thought when EA announced this that we can do whatever we want, but maybe not. No bother.

I know what you mean. not all players are playing everygame or does your back up Center play? kinda a wasted spot too then?

like I said you might have in a 3-4

LOLB

1. 4-3 DE

2. 3-4 LOLB.

how is this wasting a roster spot? you'll have back ups anyway. :lol:

Rotation on the defensive line is key. So you'd need 3-4 DE on each side (example Raiders, you putting Mack in OLB, you need 2 other ones to play actual DE ( one starter one backup, which should be rotated in as it makes wonders in 9-10 mins quarters) depending who you use as backup olb 1 more, while the 1-2 players listed as olb dont do s**t)

Im over it though guys, no position change then :D

Just as well I got that FB from the FA, seeing as the Bears didn't have the FB position filled. How would that have been applied then if we were going to go down the route of atleast on player per position like last madden? I would had to have changed one RB to an FB.

Just so you know this only occurs during the off season during a season you can only change certain positions for example ss can only switch to FS and vice versus and rolb can only change to lolb vice versa. Cb can't change Qb can't change te and wr, also HB and FB are locked during the season also dt can't and le re can swap

Thanks for that. You can how ever swap Left sided players to the Right side and Vice Versa plus number changes etc. Also swapping position like you say is a huge risk as they can take hell of a ratings hit.

Do we stay with this formula considering they have made it part of the game to fully edit any player. 

or can we chose 2 players..name them...edit them..leave em.

or would this cause to many problems?

it won't if you post to the commish which player it is. I'm not talking whole team just 2 max.

plus I wouldn't allow full cheese mode. would may be a max of 15 - 30 pts allocated to a player or players then you would have to announce who you edited and where. 

it works in my mind :lol:

Surely can't allow player editing of stats, would be stupid.

 

If someone is moving from a 3-4 to a 4-3, maybe allowing two position changes would be worth considering.

One position change per year keeps it easy to monitor and less hassle.

Stats would not be allowed to change apart from earning them through XP.

As I've said before XP should be increased. If a player plays well IRL,  his attributes are boosted considerably. I had a guy win MVP and OROY and only was able to increase him from 78 to 86??!! Really only necessary if you earn it at the same rate as last year.

I'm a big fan of being able to change players positions. Hope you can find a way to allow it this year. Ideally more than one a year too.

^^^ This too :up:

I know a few folk like the idea of being able to change a players position, we all know it doesn't mean that player is going to be a super star, it may actually back fire too. 

 

My main suggestion on the player edit was merely a thought on including a once in a career for one or two players only, with limited increments on their attributes each season. I don't mind that folk dislike the idea, after all that's what it was...an idea.

I've changed two players in my franchise, and I have to say, the impact is not immediate. Yes they have a slight increase but they still have to work as they did before, and they're progression level was not changed either. Some thing I'm going to look at with another test run franchise.

I suppose though if the XP sliders are going to be used, then there would be no need to think about altering players individual attributes at all.
