Some managers, maybe because they want to hide to others the real consistency of his team, have ridiculous rosters with 30 KRs and a very small amount of players with a different role.

My question is: there is a malus on the performance when a player is used out of his role?
If not, why?

For the moment: no, except the automatic replacement of players on injuries and short DCs doesn't work.

Within a few days I will post an announcement how we will handle things for the future, and I will introduce a new feature which will solve the situation completely - I hope. We discussed this some weeks ago already, and added the threshold for switching a players position. Now this setting will become active - including more harsh penalties on wrong assigned positions. Once we activate this feature (during Season 2) it will cause "no training" for players with wrong assigned positions, and starting from Season 3 there will be a penalty during games simulation too.

Be patient please. We need only a little bit more time in the testing environment to make sure everything is working as expected, and everything is described well.

Thanks Pete!

No problem with this kind of managers (38-14 ), but it sounds like "cheating".

You will get a news, once we finished the design of this feature...it will describe all the changes, and you will know a deadline when we switch this new feature active. There will be enough time to prepare yourself and your team. I can't tell more details at the moment - I am sorry!

How will this affect players used for multiple roles?

For example, I have a running back who can punt, several players who play OL and DL, and nobody is defined as a Gunner in my squad - instead I have them as WR/LB/CB..... which is actually fairly realistic - you don't get specialist Gunners in the NFL, the roles are performed generally by 2nd string defensive players.

The "penalty" won't affect special teams...but you will face one if you try to put an OL as DL only. If he is OL and DL on your DC, then you will be fine - probably

The goal is to avoid situations where you have a squad full of QB or G or whatever.

MY DC probably could do with a bit of streamlining - it is ridiculous in places - quite a few players have 4 or more roles!

That is on you, and no problem. A penalty would take place once you play a RB as CB !ONLY!

But does this make sense?

normal you have 4 CB and 2-3 RB


I put the player as 1st CB and at RB at end

So because he plays start as CB his PC go down and he nearly will not have chance to play snap as RB anyway

Or i have 2 RB and "him" as 3rd and i say "dont change on RB" and so only the first 2 will play depend on formation

So this player stil is RB but play near never a snap RB but only CB AND there is no bad for ingame
