Glitch you could use to your advantage.. If you choose!

So you missed out on Jack English or some other top QB? And the team that has them doesn't want to trade with you? Or if they do they want all your draft picks.

Well if you want to get the top rank QB for next to nothing. Go to the Rosters and Edit the top rank QB. And change his position from QB to WR. That 95+ QB will become a 60 or lower WR that you should be able to easily trade for. Then once you get him on your team, edit the roster again to change the WR to a QB and they will me 95+ again.

Once you done that, you can then TRADE the top rank QB you have for some 1st / 2nd round draft picks. And then go the new team you traded with. Edit the roster again and make the QB a WR to get him back for lesser draft picks. And you can repeat the process again and again.

Also, if the team that has the QB turned WR doesn't want to trade with you. Just wait a week or two. As the new team will usually cut the WR and then you can pick the player up as a Free Agent.

Just a warning... i may be incorrect but i believe if someone has not downloaded the patch, there was a pre-patch glitch were if you change a QB to a WR the QB would not switch back... thus ruining the player. Again, i may be wrong but that would suck if that were the case.

Sounds like a pretty useful glitch otherwise... nice find.

I've tried this in the past (and I haven't done the patch yet) with other positions except the

Spoiler

QB to WR since you won't be able to switch it back to QB afterwards and you just ruined a very good QB of the other team (which might be good but bad for the game)

and some players don't really change their stats much if you change their positions once

Spoiler

like LOLB to LE but if you switch the player from LOLD to LE and then from LE to DT, then their stats lower drastically and you can now trade for them at a lower cost

Yes, what I described above works back and forth.

Spoiler

You can go QB to WR to WR to QB over and over again

That doesn't sound anything like a glitch.....more like cheating.

LOL, how can you change another team's player info? I don't have the game in front of me right now to check. Why would you have the option to change other teams' players information? That in itself seems like a glitch.

I wouldn't do this personally because it ruins the realism of the game in itself. I'm in my 3rd season as the Redskins now.

1st year I went 3-13, did my scouting homework and picked up gem QB, HB, and LG.

2nd year I went 10-6 and made the wildcard playoffs but lost my first game. That draft I got gem WR, CB, and DT. I also had quite a bit of cap room and Brian Urlacher was on the FA that year, and picked him up on a 2yr-$11.5 mil contract.

3rd year I'm currently 2-0 and looking strong so far.

The reason why I won't do the above is because there are teams like the Lions who I had to play my 1st game who almost beat me. They had an incredible rookie QB (cant remember his name), and a VERY..VERY good defense.

Thats why I love this game and love the NFL..because anything can have any given sunday.

Agreed.
