Players playing out of position

By Chaz00Blue

Just a question on players playing positions different than their primary. Why is there score at these other positions different in three different places and which is correct? For example, I have a SS in my depth chart as a CB. The depth chart displays a value that is different than what is displayed for him in the screen where I could change his position. It also displays differently on the formation screen in the gameplanning screens. Can you explain the three different values?

Thanks

Hey Chaz,

Thanks for pointing that out. I just did a test and saw that for my test player the depth chart was 1 value off between the change position and depth chart, and the current was almost as high as the future on the overrides. Is this similar to what you experienced?

I think the first two might be a rounding error - I'll check to see why they are not exact. The override is clearly an error and I will look into where the calculation is messing up.

The depth chart should be the most accurate, although the change position shouldn't differ by more than 1 - let me know if you are seeing something different. In theory, all three locations should produce the name numbers.

Yes, the change position was lower by 1, but the override was much lower.

Sorry, I just checked another one and he is off by 3 from depth chart to change.

Ok, that's more than a small rounding error should produce. I will look into it and figure out why they are not consistent.

I have deployed a fix for this in MFN-1. If there are no issues in a week or so, I will deploy it into the other leagues.

I have pushed the updates to all leagues. Let me know if anyone notices anything odd. The player ratings should now be consistent in every view.
