Title: Note about positional changes
Post by: NetsGM on April 08, 2005, 02:25:17 PM
THESE CHANGES HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE GAME

By changing the position of a player, it simply shows you how they will perform when they play there.  Ratings are not constant.  A 6'11" pf's defense would be worse if he's asked to defend a sg on the perimeter.  Changing their positon let's you view how much they will change when they play a different position.

However, how a player does is determined by where he's placed in the deptch chart.  The fact that you have him listed out of position on the roster makes no difference.

Ok, thanks, I understand.

But I was testing some players because I actually play them out of position. So I wanted to see if they would do better at that other position.
For example, Gordon plays better D at the PG spot, but for now I have to keep him at SG.

I wasn't talking about anyone specific.  Certainly not you.

There's been some confusion, I just wanted to clarify.

Just wondering, but a player's ratings never goes up when his position is changed, right? I haven't seen it happen before.

Yes, it can.

I moved Bobby Jackson to SG, but I will bring his position back to PG. His ratings are better at PG.
I have a couple PG's that you may be interested in... but we would have to wait 50 days.

This isn't a trade thread.

One thing I have noticed while messing around with the program is that if you play someone out of position, more than likely they will play less minutes and the back-up at that "position" will play more due to the fact they are playing their normal position...  That is one of the main reasons I like to have players positioned changed...  Not sure if this is a fact that the program was set-up that way, but I have gone through about 20-30 seasons and have seen that type of correlation...  Hope this helps some GM's, actually i guess i shouldn't...  :wink:
