Re: Post 8/8 Update, New Recruits Not Appearing in Position Change Screen

Yeah, this is game breaking. Not being able to move the positions for potentially 35 of your 85 players or see what position the game assigned them to before the cut screen doesn't work. You need to make sure you meet position minimums, not to mention that it makes athletes pointless if they can only be assigned to the position the game says.

    Exactly, spend all that time recruiting a class to then have no ability to dictate how you use them. I am not sure what happens with the athletes either, do they not show up on the depth chart? Do they let you play them at any/every position? How can they progress without an archetype to have skill buckets for? My dynasty is on a complete stop till this is fixed.

    @TheRevengeance You can see your athlete recruits and change their position if you don't filter by position and just work down your full roster list. You will see them listed as an ATH, that's just not an option on the filter/drop down.

    @BigGoo24 I don't know because I was afraid to advance from the Position Changes screen. As-is, no recruits (including ATH) were displayed.

    Just to be clear, people can't see the ATH recruits?  Or is it other recruits?  For example: if I sign a Power Rush OLB but want to move him to DE, is that OLB recruit missing?  Or are all recruits missing?

    No recruits appear in the position change portion.

    Just confirming the same problem. You don't have access to any incoming freshmen on the Position Changes screen anymore. The first time you see the freshmen is on the "Encourage Transfers" screen.

    The recruits don't disappear or anything, you just can't view or edit them during the Position Changes stage. Makes position changes very hard considering you're trying to do them without 25% of your roster available.

    I am experiencing this identical problem. It's National Signing Day and all of my recruits are not showing up in the Position Changes screen (ATH, QB, WR, etc.). If I sort my team by Year, I have FR (RS) but no FR.

    All recruits missing @Sgoforth5 - no OLB, no ATH, nobody - as if you were Marquette, Gonzaga, or Creighton football 🙂

    All of the recruits are missing. Not one person recruited shows up in the “change position” menu. 

    Silver lining is they will auto assign positions to ATH, but being unable to dictate how those players are used in your dynasty is real bad. Bad enough to where I won’t bother recruiting ATH until there’s a fix.

    Oh God. The same. All Recruits Not showing.

    Yes. 

    No Freshman (HS) are appearing in "Position Change Screen"

    Which means ALL ATH's will not appear. And is definitely a major game ruining moment.

    So basically Dynasty mode is unplayable because you lose your recruits?

    Not after the update yesterday. No new players (HS recruits, transfers, etc.) show up in the position change menu. Hit that point on dynasty to find zero new players listed at all. Created a test dynasty and same thing. No new recruits showed up in position changes. The new players do show up on the roster for the first time in the encourage transfers screen.

    @Sgoforth5 All true freshmen regardless of position are not available in the “Position Changes” screen. They do not appear on your roster until the “Encourage Transfers” portion of the offseason, and since you can’t edit them individually they are stuck at that position until the following offseason at THAT position change screen. Athletes get automatically assigned a position based on they’re archetype, so a Scramble ATH would automatically be a QB even if for example you wanted him at WR because he had decent catching and 95 speed
