Does size even matter? Lets say you got 2 guys that are pretty close in core ratings and both are centers. 1 is 6'6" and the other is 6'11". Does it make a difference? If one was to play the other would he have a "size advantage"?

i really dont think it matters, it should though!

definitely does not matter.

Height, weight, etc. are already built into the ratings. A 6'6" center is just as effective as a 6'11" center with the same ratings.

It doesn't matter. I'm starting a 5'9 sf on one of my teams and he is doing great.

This is something that undeniably needs to change...

It may not matter as much in D-1 because even at that level you have players that are undersized who can dominate a given position.

But at the D-III level it does matter...

I went to a D-III School and despite having more athletic bigs at around 6'5", our biggest challenge was always the team in our conference that had the less coordinated and less skilled 6'10" kid. He presented matchup nightmares and foul trouble problems. It would be nice to see the SIM reflect such size advantages.

Speaking strictly on a D-III level size truly does matter when it comes to the PF-C position...

If your center is taller he has a better chance of being a better rebounder... so in a way its already incorporated.

It is already built into the ratings and accounted for.

For instance, if you have two identical centers who would otherwise both be a 65 reb, but one is 7 feet and the other is 6'8', the 7-footer would end up with the better rebounding rating.

I really believe they should do this in both HD and GD

Players do grow while in college.

Growth can reflect their improvement

It would be an easy formula for them to add

It just makes things more complex for no benefit. The 7 footers are already better rebounders in general than the 6' 7" guys with a few exceptions on each side.

How does it make anything more complex?

I am simply talking about having players grow, height and weight as they do in real life. Even if it doesn't effect ratings any differently than normal progression.

I would find it cool if a 6-6 195 center grows to 6-8 210 by his senior season

As mentioned, it would be easy for WIS to add this formula.

Just my opinion.

Players do grow, but it doesn't mean anything. I signed a 6'10 center who ended his career at 7'1.

I think it would be cool if height played an additional role in LP, REB, BLK, and even PER to a small degree (because you can get your shot over smaller players).

It does mean something, becuase it happens

If they want this to be more reflective, this is a simple addition

Did you really have a player grow? I have never had a player change height or weight over 4-5 years.

My Gf says it doesnt but i dont believe her
