EA Sports has released a small update to College Football 26, specifically targeting the game’s Dynasty Mode.
The latest update looks at skill caps and position changes for players, removing penalties for various moves. For example there are no penalties when moving a running back to fullback or when moving a player along the offensive or defensive lines.

In addition to the general position change updates, player skill caps when changed have also been tweaked. According to EA, they are now “more strongly influenced by their Development Trait and school year. Younger players and those with higher Development Traits will have higher skill caps at their new position.”
