Will the new position eventually show up on their player card? Does range have anything to do with their position change? What does range mean anyways? Any response would be much appreciated. Thank you

At least that's when the appropriate lower case letter seems to pop up on the player card... But I only have one player who I've seen this with so far...

From no experience at all, it can take roughly 2 seasons of playing time to acquire full experience at a new position. However, with every training update, his experience and performance at the position will improve. Steve
