Editing historical player position

coachtim30 · 12-28-2014, 11:28 AM

I'm new to the game and would like to know if it's possible to edit a historical player's position in a quick start league.
Elston Howard is only listed as a catcher, but spent a lot of games in the OF. Can I add LF to his list of postions? I tried doing it by using "editor", giving him a position rating, and then hitting enter. Nothing changes after I exit and then look him back up.

Can I do this in OOTP 15?

You will have to change the his outfield ratings and experience at that position too.
If his range, error and/or arm are too low a rating will not show up.

You are doing the correct thing by using the editor. Besides ratings you must give a player experience at the positions you wish to see them at. This is also found in the editor.

Thanks for the quick responses, Spritze and TGH-Adfarbe. I simply had not given the player big enough defensive rating numbers to generate the new position.
