I'm sure this has been asked a million times, maybe even by me, but I'm still not sure what the answer is.

Is there any penalty for playing a player out of position? I'm currently trying to decide if I should play a guard at center or if I'd be better off signing a CPU C.

- Defenses should react better to certain outside rushes
- Slightly lowered baseline blocking levels
- Made blocks in open field more difficult to maintain
- Fixed depth chart fallbacks to more logically fill positions
- Amped up out of position penalty a bit

This was in the changelog a few years back. There was an out of position penalty and it was further increased. What the exact penalty is, I don't know. My guess is 10% reduction of skills or so. If it's a choice of playing a normal player out of position or signing a CPU I'd still go for normal player.

Thanks!

Why is this a thing, anyway? The positions you can swap into are already limited.

My guess penalty is higher than 10%... My guess is 25%, maybe even more

Originally it was a standard 5%. I would agree that ramping it up is probably 10% now.
