Not neccessarily if you are a FS and you need to make up 40 yards to get over and cover a hail mary surely speed would be the best attribute not height.


Sure. But this has got nothing to do with what's more relevent.

All I'm saying, in your example, is that after he uses his speed to get there, a shorter player might miss the play whereas a taller player might just get his fingertips to the ball.

If you think of all players as spheres, then taller players are represented by a larger sphere and so they have greater reach.

On the other hand, you might give shorter receivers a bonus on low throws. But not low AND wide.

But then what if you short corner had an amazing spring. To move to another sport one of your own has built a reputation for being deadly at corners and free kicks in the premiership far out jumping much taller players in these situations. The name Tim Cahill what is he 5"10? All I am really saying is that height and weight if brought in should have no bearing on skills. Phyicals yes by all means.

Also should the taller, heavier players lose their PC quicker ?

Shouldnt the shorter receiver have the advantage when coming to routes that aren't straight? And those button plays where the receiver runs for x number of yards and turns to face the QB. I dont recall a bigger more physical player get to that ball if its right on the numbers. I think this might be better left until there is more variance in the playbook and you can actually play to your players strengths / opponents weaknesses. At the moment a passing play has just 18 variations and they are just short, medium long with an area on the pitch to go with it. When playbook routes come into play then we might have a better idea on how to implement this

I'd be happy for that to be a part of agility. So height and agility make the bubble bigger.

Think of -G.O.A.T- and the 2 TEs he has to throw to now. They get a lot of catches because -G.O.A.T- throws high where only his tall TE can catch the ball. But again, you probably don't want to target their shoe laces too much - it's a long way down!

lol .... so true.

But if that kind of stuff does it for anyone, head over to G*I and starve/force-feed your players in the legendary all-singing all-dancing Nutrition Centre.

Also, what will happen with the YA? No way is a player fully grown either vertically or horizontally at age 16.

Do we add facilities for this? Can we set weight training to bulk up, trim down, normal? Do we have diet?

I sell steroids in my RZA Club Shop .... Profit margins are much better than on the Michael Crabtree Player Jerseys
