2013 2013 Midweek 3 RG Nestor Kerr Position changed from WR to RG 2013 2013 Midweek 3 RG Nestor Kerr Released by Carolina
2013 2013 Midweek 3 LDE Bobby McConkey Position changed from FS to LDE 2013 2013 Midweek 3 LDE Bobby McConkey Released by Carolina
Is Carolina doing this to try to hide players from everyone else, or is the game engine doing this on a released player?

I didn't change their position. Note that the position change takes place AFTER I release them, not before.
The game made the changes, not me.

I think when a player is released, the game puts him at his highest rated position.
For McConkey, he was 30/30 as a FS, but is 19/39 at DE. I didn't look at Kerr. Hopefully, JDB can remove this feature. The problem for McConkey is that he is 206 pounds... he shouldn't be at DE at all.

Yeah, that's something I think he needs to tweak. I think the idea is okay, but the implementation looks pretty wrong.

Hey guys, Zoot just PM'd me asking about this - Yes, the game did change the position to what it thought was the best position for the player, which up till now has been reasonable, those two though were really radical.
That's an old function that I had built originally to prevent a player from being able to change the position to something the player is bad at and then releasing him, so no one would find him. That's not really an issue with the way things have developed, since the player search would reveal that player anyway, so with this occurrence and that last thought I went ahead and disabled this today. I don't see that it's a necessary action by the game engine.
