I'd guess so, but you would assume that Robinson and Edelman would have better QB ratings than others, so their OVR rating at QB would still be higher even with the AWR hit. Of course that assumes that they do give players like Edelman and Robinson better passing ratings than normal non-QBs.

I can now move Jamarcus Russell to Defensive Tackle.

Good, solid (re)addition to the game.

Position changes are in; does that mean that they've also lightened up on cross-position play? i.e. Can Patrick Peterson play WR? Can Randall Cobb play RB? Can Percy Harvin play RB? Can Joe Webb play QB? All while remaining at their current, respective, position?

Limiting it to an off-season action is a bummer. Say you switch Tebow to TE and Brady gets injured for the season. You probably want to play Tebow at QB. Having the ability to start a player at any position has been abused when it was possible in last-gen Madden, but it doesn't make banning it justified. There is legitimate use for it.

One of my favorite position swaps was moving Reggie Bush to WR. He was so damn good as a slot receiver. I want to be able to have fun like this, again, with position changes.

this is stupid

It will be a bad thing if AWR is the only change when shifting positions. That seems underwhelming considering the move of a higher SPD position to a lower SPD position is known to be overpowered in this game.

Why not also have an impact on things such as Play Recognition and Consistency?

The good news out of that article is the ability for the commissioner to control which position changes are allowed. Hopefully that's a full feature and not watered down.

Garbage that you can only do it throughout the offseason

Like someone else said what if someone got injured and you had to change it back.... ???? UHH

Madden should already be out by now. I mean Im getting pretty impatient for my Football fix
