The drop in rating is due to the player tendencies being bugged after the update.
The best solution is the position change.
I literally changed every player on my roster to a different position, then back to their original position and in 95% of the cases, their overall went back and their tendency reset. In a few cases, however, the tendency was still different after the fact.
For example, I had a Pass Defender LOLB rated 76. The update changed him to a Run Stopper, and his rating plummeted to a 57. On position change day, I moved him to FS, Then back to LOLB and the game made him a Speed Rushing LOLB with a rating of 82. I just wanted my Pass Defender back, but I'll take the ratings bump. I think the game picks the best tendency for each player based on ratings and assigns that to them when you change positions.
The fact that we have to do this to make the game playable is, quite frankly, infuriating.
Glad that worked for you
