Ok, I'll try to specifically explain this one, please read it carefully, hopefully it makes sense :-
I'd like to suggest an annual "amnesty" whereby there is a limited (and specific) period allowing managers to change positions for players with no loss of TC or Morale. The specific period that I'm thinking of is after the last possible match of the season (Champ of Champs Bowl) on Friday 11th May and before the first match of the new season on Saturday 19th May. The reason for this is that this period would include the Draft. My thinking behind this is :- In real life, a head coach could possibly utilize the long off-season period (and training camps) to retrain a player, maybe from Running Back to Full Back etc. Also, in RZA you will get various new players during this period (from YA promotes and from the Draft), perhaps your roster has become unbalanced after the Draft and you would like to totally re-work your roster or partially re-work your roster ....this would allow you to do it once per season without a big hit in TC/Morale. please note 2 things about this suggestion :- (1) I'm not saying that the TC/Morale hit should be scrapped entirely forever, that would be an entirely different thread altogether.... this thread is about an annual "one-off opportunity". (2) The idea is for a "penalty-free" position change within a very limited time window once per season ....I specifically thought of the time window after the last game of the old season and before the first game of the new season for 2 reasons (a) It includes no competitive matches therefore nobody gains an unfair advantage (b) It includes season rollover and the draft and this is the time period when your roster will change the most i.e. retirements due to age/"forced promotes" from the YA (to use up "senior tickets" before they expire) and the new players from the Draft arriving on your roster. |

No yes or no from me, just an additional hint: If we do that, we could add it only in one way: adding a "free position switch period" of maybe 7 days to EACH player. Database limitations apply here

No from me too
Player drop at 50% only and with the late season and offseason friendlies ist easy to get fast up to 100% Exact this offseason friendlies dear sh"eight" are for me the period you talk about to use time and "reposition" players |

Yeah, the current penalty is a pain, but it is reasonable, and the penalty is probably lower than in RL. I will be making several position changes as soon as I'm out of the play-offs, and promoting a couple players from my academy. As Turtle says, that's what the down time during the offseason is for. I should be able to manage most of the penalty by the 2nd week of the new season even if I make it to my league bowl game. If we make a change, I'd prefer to see some penalty remain, perhaps the current TC/morale hit, but reduced from 50% to 30%. But I think it works fine as it is. |

Really, the only time that I really want to move a player's position is if I drafted a better player for a position and wanted to move that player. Even then, that player moving wouldn't have to step in right away as you would have someone in that position anyway.
Second, if you made a switch when you were out of the playoffs you would have multiple game opportunities to begin raising his moral and TC. Don't forget the team shrink and facilities you could use on an u p d a t e in the event you switched all of your players around, or a lot of them anyway. It wouldn't bother me either way (I had a thread here somewhere about the same thing you are proposing, not as much detail though), after reflection I don't find it necessary. |

I'm a "no" to the amnesty...The penalty is a pain but i believe it is necessary. Its fairly common to see a DE moved to OLB or back when a a team changes to 3-4 or 4-3 ....Not all changes work straight away...players take time to get used to new assignments....an off season doesn't change that.

I like the idea for that able to happen for all player on your team for 3-7 days after the draft. Because between the draft and the start of the season is to small of a window to get you guys team chemist back up to playing ranges.
But morale is no problem as it recovers quick enough. I know last draft I had to move several guys around to other positions. And it wasn't till week 3 or 4 before the team chemist was recovered. Last edited on 2012-04-30 22:41:44 by andrew2scott2 |

Pete if for some reason i kept my SS playing at MLB for an entire regular season. Would that be easy to consider the switch, rather than coaches doing it free evry season.

Not sure if this is address to me or Pete (admin) I would assume that in this case the SS would gain exp as a LB Why you wouldn't change his position on the system I'm not sure.?? We all carry enough players that it is easy to bury a player that is converting to a new position on your depth chart until his Moral/TC are back to a level you like. I am just against a manager being able to switch a players position without a penalty... just my opinion |
