I wasn't clear; my bad.


What I meant is that the trait itself should give position synergy; not for it to be default. Instead of the trait giving a blanket pardon on OOP; that the trait would be specific to certain positions who already have synergy. I wouldn't want my WR to be able to play QB/LB/OL/DL random stuff; I'd rather the WR to have access to CB, SF, TE, RB something like that and not every position across the board.

Hopefully that clarifys what I stated.

Got it. But wouldn't it be better if the trait were something like 'can learn new things quickly' instead of 'has some talent for Position X as well'? From a coding perspective, the first one is relatively straightforward, while the second quickly turns into a nightmare. Plus, we’d need several of them to cover all the different positions.

Definitely the first one but with the synergy of the positions in mind. I feel they should be related in some sort of way with the actual game. Like the Wildcat, Gronk and other TEs who line up in the slot; WR/CB like we saw this year. Instead of having a WR who can play every position on the field moderately well, it'd be better for him to have certain positions he can play very well as specified in the trait.
