L-R position question

[tophardtjr]

I know there is a slight out of position penalty for playing players at same position they are listed at but just the other side (example: playing a LG at RG).

My question is do I play my best player at his natural position and move the other one to the other side? Or, do I play my best player, out of position on the other side, and keep the lessor skilled one at his natural position?

Is it better to take the slight out of position penalty on my better player or the lessor player? Which arrangement would give me the best max possible for the combo?

I really do not think it matters, i have a very good offensive line and Taylor only gets 3 yards a carry. I really believe everything Umberto is saying, he just isn't saying it nicely. I don't think that the info we put in for games plans and such do anything. I have my team set to run the ball around 85% but it is around 50% in the sim, there have been games where the first 7-8 plays are all pass. Who starts the game is weird also, my #2 RB usually gets the first few carries every game. There are a lot of changes that need to be made!

If youre a running team and get behind, it seems the sim takes over and starts throwing the ball.
Adjust your "Hurry Up" & "Run out the clock". It seems to have helped me stay to my plans.


As far as L-R, I go by what they're listed as. If they're listed as just a G, I'll put them on either side. I have several tackles on a team I inherited and they're mostly listed as just a T, just a few RT & LT listed. Like Darrisaw is listed as just a T, so I'll move him back and forth if need be.

Ive used Safeties in LB positions just to keep from using a FREE AGENT and zero recognition for doing anything so who tfk's.

A guards listed as a LG and all his stats show him being a RG. Like I said, wtfk's.
