When I go to "Create Player" on the Player Search screen, the DDLB which lists position starts with QB every time. This is significant, bc even when when you scroll down the list to the position you want, and create a new player, it always states "Original Position Quarterback", and the position skill is for Quarterback. I tried created a Cornerback - he wound up with CB 1 position Skill and 85 Quarterback skill. Any workaround or is this something to be fixed in new patch?

Yea, this is a known issue. We'll have to correct it in the next version. The workaround is probably to export player, fix their skills, then reimport them.
