Max weight change

Hey. Anybody knows if there is a limit to the amount of weight change?

Situation:
I tried to put a 300lbs Dt to Cb for fun and his second training camp he came in at 259 and got out at 258. So only 1 pound loss.
Player is marvin waldron in my usfl team.

As of 0.4.2, players have a hidden 'frame' attribute that will limit the amount of weight they can gain or lose.

The max gain/loss I have seen is 66 pounds in one season. The average I have seen is in the 40-50 range for a season.

That seems like a really high number, but I haven't really tried any major position changes in a while.

That's just one team. I've had similar results in all leagues since I started experimenting. You can now take a DB and turn them into a DE by mid-week game 5 of the regular season.

Seems like the exact opposite of the purposed changes with "frame"

Im all for position changes. After all were talking about high end top tier athletes. It only makes sense for some of them to be easily switchable

LB to DE, maybe smaller LBs to Safeties. The idea that a CB should be able to get up to weight to play DE or DT doesn't really work in real life. It can be very difficult for most players to put on that kind of weight and still be effective.
