First of all I want to say that a penalty for changing a player's position seems perfectly fine to me, I just think that the penalty should be different depending on what positional change we are talking about. For example, a FB becoming a RB or vice versa should not incur a huge penalty because the skills needed for each position are fairly similar... on the other hand the penalty should be huge for say an OL becoming a K as the skills needed for each position are completely different.
Seems weird to me that the penalty is the same regardless of the positional change basically. What do you guys think? |

I would like to question this! Not due logical / development issues, much more we would need to explain these different ways to the users. And so I ask: is this (yes, it logical) change needed, does it add anything to the game except some minor realism and possible confusion?

When i said that was logical i didnt wanted to assume that was a really needed change. Of course some players could get confused for the different penalties. But it is something than can be considered in the future, as i think that your work on the engine it is more important at moment.

Oh yeah, I wasn't suggesting this should be put in place as the #1 priority as I certainly agree that this would be a pretty minor change. I just thought of this yesterday so figured I'd mention it but as malkarma said this is more something that could be put on the to-do list for the future.
As for explaining it to new users one way to do it would be to separate the various potential positional changes into 3 categories, major penalty, average penalty and minor penalty. So it would look like something like that. When changing a player's position a penalty will apply based on how different the positions are perceived to be. - Major Penalty (the positions aren't similar at all) QB to DL RB to DB LB to TE ... Average Penalty (the positions do have something in common) FB to TE TE to OL K to P ... Minor Penalty (realistic positional changes happening in the NFL for example) LB to DL RB to FB TE to WR ... |
