There's many people who erroneously think that allowing a player to play a new position will get you random vitals when the player is changed. That's not true. They aren't random and you can keep tabs on your natural position changes. Even if they already have the position as a secondary position, when they change it'll be a reflection of their actual performance over the past two seasons. Using these checks is a nice thing to do throughout the process so you know if you need to abort the natural position change or if it's going smoothly. I've converted many players doing this (Ken Smith, Paul Finnell, Ross Elless for example) and I've aborted a handful as well (Jose Rabena to LF).
Some may think this is cheating, but I surely don't. Mogul's manual position changes don't make sense. Like where a SS overall gets worse by moving to 2B or the lack of a drop from going from LF to CF. This gives you a much better and realistic position change. It isn't always what I'd use, but in instances where the player fits better at a new position it's a nice tool to have.
- If you start a player at a position different than his primary position for two consecutive seasons, he will likely change to that new position after the re-signing period in the second year.
--- The player has to make the majority of his starts at the new position in consecutive years.
--- The player must make at least 30 starts at the new position in consecutive years (It used to be 50 games and Mogul changed it within the past few versions).
--- The player's new predicted (vitals) will be the average of his performance at the new position over the past two seasons (odd fractions will round up, i.e. 7.5 would round up to 8, but 8.5 would stay at 8)
EXAMPLE
I have done this with Ross Elless, moving him to CF.
2025: 118 G, 7 A, 260 PO, 0 DP, 3 E
2024: 86 G, 9 A, 204 PO, 1 DP, 1 E (ATL and COL combined)
He should have a predicted CF defense of:
102 G, 8 A, 232 PO, 0 DP, 2 E (as of Off-Season File Season 17)
By opening up a new game, you can edit some CF's predicted stats to see what he'd look like.
