Re: Position wont change

I am having the same issue...  I made my character a center and no matter what, i am forced to play left wing...  There should be a way we can adjust the lines and switch at least the line we are on to be able to play our natural position.. this has never been a problem with the other NHL games....  If i created a center, i was always a center...  now i am being forced to play a position i dont want to be with no end in sight...  How long will i be stuck at LW?  I want to take faceoffs....   your selection of position should ALWAYS take majority in game....  Please fix this ASAP.....

    We'll share the request with the team to make this an option.

    From the response I was given last year, the reason why you're being shifted to your secondary position is because there's already an excellent center on your team. Be a Pro is a storyline driven mode, so being brought up to the league you have to prove yourself before taking over a veteran's position.

    I guess i can understand that.. but what has to be done to overtake the center position?   even if you are having a better season and are ranked higher in overall rating, you still seem to be stuck as your backup....   again, we should be able to play the position we created and the "star" should be placed on the wing...  i am at the point where i dont want to play anymore because i cant take faceoffs... that is the position i enjoy and want to play, but cant in BAP because the computer has decided i am not good enough even though i am leading my team in stats, goals, assists, points, etc... but the "started" still gets the spot even though he loses like 80% of the faceoffs... i cant win any faceoffs because i am never at center...  they never even get kicked out so i can at least play center sometimes...   not fun if you cant be the position you selected and are good at...   please give us the option to always be the position we choose or at lease let us alter the line WE are on and place the center at lW and make us play center if we choose....

    Thanks

    @Vortimous 

     Totally understandable and I've seen others raise this before. Seems like players would like more control on how they want to manage positions for the mode. I believe the way to get the position you originally signed up for is to have the player higher than you on the depth get demoted or sent to another team, that way you overtake the top spot.

    I started on the left wing on the first line and a little after mid season I was put in center of the first line. The center that was on my line is now the center on the second line.

    I also am center but have to play a wing. my biggest issue is that if I put rightwing as secondary, then I'm put as left wing. I had to put left wing and was finally put as right wing. can this be changed also please

    I am a 94 overall right wing secondary center. I started my career playing right wing. I made it to first line as a 73 overall yet I still played right wing. My 3rd year I get switched to left wing mid way through the season. No one on my entire team has a higher overall rating now . Yet, I am being forced to play left wing. I even went to a new team. Again, I have the highest overall on the entire team yet it still won't switch me back to right wing. How do it get back to playing the position I want to play?
