Playbook Change Causes Player Archetype Changes, OVR Drop to Entire Roster
I have found an issue that results in the changing of all players’ archetypes on your roster by position. For example all my HBs are now Power Backs, all my WRs are now Route Runners, etc. This happens for every position.
At first I thought that it was due to editing players, since it had been reported that editing players has caused issues in the past. However, others have said this is caused by changing your playbook in the preseason.
Because archetypes change, this also has the effect of changing (and usually dropping) OVR ratings. For example, a freshman Receiving Back I just recruited, who came in at a 75 OVR is now showing as a 52 OVR. Similarly, my 87 OVR senior center (who is a real player) has now dropped to an 80.
I don’t believe individual attributes have changed, so it’s more of a visual bug in the menus rather than having an effect on the gameplay. However, I’m concerned this will affect the draftability of my players because drafting logic seems to be based on OVR. This would result in many of my players going undrafted and thus tanking my school’s Pro Potential rating.
