Position switching.

Aloha, I have a great question. Is there some kind of list available for view that would tell me what attributes will go up and what attributes will go down after you change a player's position. For instance:, If I have a slower wide receiver with good hands and I want to change him to a TE.....what would the attribute changes be over time after the switch?

Only speed and acceleration would change afaik.

To my understanding, it's all relative to the player's weight. If your WR gains weight, he can expect to drop speed / acc (I read 1 point per 5-6 lbs elsewhere).

I believe height factors in as well.

Nope. Unless it has change, height has no factor on frame. The rest of my notes are here: https://usflwfl.myfootballnow.com/community/3/4277?page=1

In terms of positional attributes, a player's attributes will always be the ones he's generated with. It's why you can't make a QB a WR or a WR a DB, etc. Because those players are not generated with those attributes.

I've done a bit, but not much, data sleuthing to be pretty certain that WRs are generated with better coverage skills than DBs are ever generated with WR skills tho. (I'm pretty sure this is to keep all DBs from being INT machines.)
