I will play devil's advocate a little. The thing I don't like about converting during preseason is that the player ratings get what I call 'recalibrated' in the new version, i.e. they change some to fit changes in the coding and modelling.

If you change in the preseason:
a) you might have just locked someone up for 5 years that took like a 20% hit in ratings - basically you just wasted a bunch of money.
b) if guys already on your team change (either up or down), you really don't have much opportunity to retool your team starting in February.

But, I agree the arby point brought up by Alan is problematic. I think I agree with the manual in concept, but I'm not a commish.

Has anyone tried converting in those couple days between arbitration and the start of FA?
