Hi all, I just took control of LA. Is there anything you would like me to work on? I thought I would play around with position changes for a start.Anybody have a fullback for sale?

Right now, there are still a few B rated FBs on the waiver wire...that was the best I could do in this league too...not very deep in FBs this season.

I have a FB playing C and a LB playing DT, plus a CB who is starting two ways at HB and SS.
Let me know what to look for with these things.

Welcome aboard. I haven't heard anyone testing our position changes, so that sounds interesting.I have a FB playing C and a LB playing DT, plus a CB who is starting two ways at HB and SS.

FB Karl Stansauk is playing center? He is age 24 and already a B center. Too bad you couldn't have got him a couple years ago. I'll watch his Imps.

Mike was 39/76 in ICs. I took over when the reg season started and I changed his drills to Discipline and train as Holder. Discipline cuz his poor execution. I chose to train as Holder because of fewer skills that are more QB specific. Holder did give him more Hand IMPs (18/28) that I would like. He was B overall and now he is a good looking B+.
Compare with Oakland's [url=http://footballbeta.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=63618&displaytab=imps]QB Eddie Timberlake[/url] who is also 22 yo B+ but has C- potential. Chris what did he "train as" and what skills? Eddie actually did better but improved in more RB categories.
QB IMP skills=Throw Acc, Throw pwr, Exec, Carry, Hands, Agility, Speed, Brk Tackle (8 total)
H IMP skills = Hands, Exec, Throw Acc, Throw pwr (4 total)
I didn't want Mike to improve RB skills so I chose Holder.

Karl trained as Center and lifted weights. Imps (29/73) was much less than the 22 yo and he never moved up to B+ as a center. His play was hard to judge because of lack of center stats but I believe he was a good blocker. I'm sure he would have been much more valuable as a FB. He had 3 penalties for 20 yds. The top 10 centers all had 3 or less penalties. His age probably stunted this change. I have players in other leagues that I am tracking their switches and it appears a switch of 1/3 letter grade per position will take at least a full year.

(Potential increases your chance of converting an improvement; Attitude increases your number of improvement chances overall.) The size of the improvement is a percentage of your total score that declines as you get closer to 100; the chance of conversion does not change as you get closer to 100.

Timberlake trained as QB with All-Around drills. He went 42/78 overall. His biggest improvement was 8/13 in Throwing Accuracy. He started the season at 84.2 in throw accuracy and ended at 88.7 so he averaged just over half a point per improvement.(Potential increases your chance of converting an improvement; Attitude increases your number of improvement chances overall.)
