Due to another thread discussion I would like to suggest a new player trait. The goal is to make just a few players capable to play in more than one role (excluding special teams). There it is:

Versatile mind
This player is able to adapt quickly to various roles on the field. When playing out of position, the usual penalties for performance reduction are greatly reduced.

Would you extend your idea, Linkleo?

- - Jack of _all_ pads (excluding special teams)?
- - A few/just one, picked randomly?
- - based on IRL similar roles? (eg "DB", "RB")

I am quite sure that special teams have no OOP penalty. If so, there is no need to include it in the description.

I have not understood your second question. If it is about the "rarity" of the trait, I must say I have no idea. Pete knows the probability of such skills better than anyone.

I do not think it should apply as IRL with "positional groups". Simply reduce the OOP penalty despite the position played in (2, 3 or more different positions).

In my opinion; I feel there should be specific position synergy; like similar areas of the field instead of an umbrella trait.

CB/SF
WR/TE
RB/FB

So on and so forth.

I disagree, The very rare 2 position player trait seems the way to go. Why would I even keep a fullback on my roster or a tight end ? More likely an O Linemen would play tight end. Seems to me this is just a way to have fewer highly paid players on the roster removing it farther from a simulation. These positions body types are very different, imagine a T. Hill or J. Edelman as tightend ? There's reason these positions exist & it's not because there interchangeable but because they require very different body types & positional skills.
I wouldn't like to see this change at all.
